I just filled the gas tank on my motorhome with 61.5 gallons of regular, it cost me $267.02...

[Enter stage left]

Compared to the $167.22 it cost me for 57.9 gallons of regular in June of 2024. When PRESIDENT BIDEN was in office.

Thanks "Stupid Fuck"!

Less than 4 gallons difference for $100 more.

But let's talk about the price of eggs.

1. Ouch. As a puller, longer stays.

[ret5hd]

2. 14 days in BLM and NF land

[Jack Valentino]

3. Probably I should haul my ass a few blocks to the gas station for a few gallons---

My car isn't running but I need a few fresh gallons to hope to restart it---
and the price keeps getting steeper!


The walk back will be the harder part.....

4. Nearly 40 years ago,we bought a 30' RV that got 6mpg. Now we have an EV and stay in nice hotels.

5. But have you slept in you own bed and eaten your favorite meals while driving to Alaska 3 times...

Or going from Vancouver Island in western Canada to Prince Edward Island in eastern Canada?

Or while seeing all of the spectacular scenery driving from Neah Bay which is the northwestern most tip of the contiguous US in Washington state to Eastport Maine, the easternmost city in the continental US?

There are trade offs in life. We decided we would trade a fixed residence for some incredible experiences and scenery.

We know fuel prices are part of our lifestyle, I was just showing what a difference a "regime change" can make.

6. Dotard said egg prices were down 92%

So I paid 5 cents for a dozen last week.
Didn't everyone??

[moonscape]

11. First, I'm shocked he kept

the percentage under 100%. That’s not like him. I worry that he’s ill.

Second, I was shocked a couple of weeks ago that my Grocery Outlet here on the Central Coast had eggs for $1/dozen! I bought only two dozen. Had I been smart I would’ve bought 6, eaten nothing but eggs for the next couple of weeks and used the savings for gas!

[whopis01]

17. That's nothing - he said drug prices were going to be down 1000%

I have been paying about $150 a month for mine. Any day now I’m going to be getting paid $1500 a month just to take them!

7. I still have half a tank of gas

I am retired and do not drive much. I am afraid to fill up now. May be in month of May I hope gas will be cheaper.

[AZ8theist]

14. I retired 2 years ago.

A tank of gas last me about 3 months. I used to burn through a tank a week commuting to work.

Still get together with former coworkers once in awhile for lunch. They get so pissed that my gas lasts that long!!

Happy retirement!!!

22. I retired in 1997

Early retirement at age 57 due to health issues.
I am shocked how much my health improved after retiring because I had time to walk many miles on the golf course playing golf.
Another surprise, now with better health, my living expenses are lower than I thought was possible. Biggest savings in income tax and car expense.
Wish you 30 years of happy retirement 👍

8. Idk

I hope the war ends soon and these prices come down. Can't believe he attacked them.

19. Welcome to DU!

[BigmanPigman]

9. Which state did you pruchase your gas from?

In CA regular gas is $6 a gallon.

[Enter stage left]

10. Arizona.

But it was 30 cents a gallon higher in Nevada.

Gas Buddy is your friend.

12. And so far, Diesel has gotten hammered even harder.

The Diesel prices are already starting a shock wave through the economy. The next 90 days are going to be brutal on the economy.

[Enter stage left]

13. You are so right, diesel was almost $5.80 a gallon, which was still lower than Nevada.

[dickthegrouch]

16. Diesel is $7.19 here in San Jose, CA /nt

[Bluetus]

20. Diesel is over $5 throughout the Midwest.

WTI crude is $111 / bbl today.

AAA has Diesel at $5.53 nationally today. That's up 42& in a month. This is going to drive a big inflation spike.

15. In 2 months, you may not even be able to buy it.

Shortages are starting to hit South Florida. You either may soon encounter rationing or none at all.

[TBF]

21. I remember the lines back in the 70s -

I would have to look up the details because I was quite young at the time. I know it was a conflict with the middle east - perhaps Libya? At any rate, I do remember sitting in those lines.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

18. I had been dreaming about purchasing a small RV trailer for a few years

This was my target year. Just moved to Vermont. The plan was to visit all
of the different famous mountain biking trails throughout this state and
grab all the accompanying nature in those areas.

Shelving those plans for who knows how long, if ever.

23. I dread filling up my diesel cans for my tractor.
