$4.15 per gallon at the Kwik Trip down the street.

Northern California average gasoline is about $6 a gallon now.

Almost 50% more in Northern California than it is in Wisconsin!
That's a breathtaking difference.


 

$5.599 for Sunoco 93 octane.

I am not sure what has happened because the two fuels closely followed each other for years. 

Propane comes from natural gas.  There is not problem with natural gas supply.  Ukraine has created a problem with petroleum supply.

Same will probably happen with grain prices (ie bread).  Many nations have already banned export of grain products fearing a coming severe shortage.

Just paid $4.46/gallon at the cheapest place in town...

....which, whilst less than what you are paying, Carruthers, is the closest I have ever known US prices to be to UK prices in my 21.5 years here......

Same emotions occured when gasoline prices rose to $0.60 per gallon.  All feared the end of the world if gasoline rose to $1.00 per gallon.

Gasoline prices are still quite cheap.  But that means first using logic.  Put $35 of gasoline in the car.  Drive to burn it all.  How much of that gasoline actually moved the car?  Maybe $6.  Rest was wasted as heat, noise, pollution, etc  Because gasoline is and was always so cheap.

Those are facts ignored by fears about $10 per gallon.  Any price approaching $10 per gallon is a reasonable price.  But so many do not think logically.  So many are only inspired by their emotions.  We waste energy in massive quantities because petroleum was always so inexpensive.

We complain about high prices.  What vehicles sell the most when prices go up?  SUVs.  Where is logic?  Replaced by emotions.


 

Demonstrated is the intelligence level of adults who are still children.  Whose proof is always in insults.  The emotional also believed Saddam had WMDs and the Big Lie.  All justified by emotions when a prefrontal cortex is inoperative.  Maybe he does not know how to replace its fuse.

An adult would have posted facts and numbers.

Motherfucker, you have never once, since I've been reading your absolute bullshit posts, proved any of the absolute bullshit you've posted.  You have never once cited a source, even after being asked repeatedly.  Not once.

Every single person familiar with you knows you are full of shit right up to and over your eyebrows.  Everyone here, and everyone IRL, knows what you are.

It's the only thing you've ever proved, and you do it every time you post.

And so the nature of an extremist is but again demonstrated.  First indication found in that first word - profanity.  Followed by plenty of emotion, more insults, and not one fact.  An extremist again has contributed nothing informative, useful, or socially acceptable.

Topic is petrol/gas.  Not your hostility and resentment.  Maybe contribute something relevant to the topic?

In my day street walkers actually walked streets. They didn't need any fancy horseless carriage.

Fact:  It is a myth perpetuated by the less intelligent but articulate, that the use of "profanity" indicates a lack of smarts.  

Profanity is cover for one who has no logical reply or informed thought.  An emotional outburst when he cannot deal with a reality and cannot control his emotions. The nature of an adult who is still a child.  Profanity and insult also used to recruit others of lesser intelligence.  Since adults, who are still children, respect a bully.

Adults who are adults need not waste energy with profanity.

TheNeverWas is an extremist who delights in attacking others.  As another extremist once said, "To fuck everything up."   As extremists often do because they are angry and hateful - not logical.

Double dare.  Its been a long time since I heard other children using that pseudo reasoning.  Some adults just never grow up.

The topic is petrol/gas.  He cannot even discuss the topic.  He posts insults.  Classic of an adult who is still emotional like a child. A perfect example of an extremist.  Anger and hate.
