Right now it recently went up from 10 cents per liter to 14, now will be 20 cents per liter off our trucks to customers. That means at the pumps, it will probably hit 25 cents per liter or a buck a US gallon, give or take over 87. We are already at $6 per US gallon for regular 87 up here. People are protesting the latest carbon tax hike. It looks like I need to enable my knock sensors and get Procomp heads done up to permanently run 89 or even 87 octane, if necessary. Not sure why the gouging is occurring on Premium, maybe because it is pure gas here? Sucks, I run 91 currently my Olds and boat.

 

Wait to you buy the non ethanol high test,, you will need to take a second mortgage out

 

Keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't get too bad here. Yesterday I paid $3.45 a gallon for 92 octane at BJ's. I just checked online and it's at $3.73 now. That's a pretty big one-day jump.

 

Filled the daily driver up a couple of days ago and noticed 87 had jumped up to $3.50 here in the St. Louis area. 93 Premium has already jumped to between $4.20 and $4.50 depending on where you look. Ouch, and it's only going to go higher!

 

Bad news here as well.

I can't see where fossil fuels are going anywhere anytime soon. Too many industries are tied to them. In a hundred years, getting gas for a class car may definitely be an expensive novelty but gas isn't going anywhere any time soon. I don't care what any politician says.

I never fret much about gas prices, though. It stings at the pump these days, but it did as well back in 2008 at the end of the Bush era, and it did back in the early 80s too. I loved low prices during covid when no one was driving and they were unloading gas on the cheap. I wish we would see those prices again one day.

 

Also gotta remember that plastics are made from petroleum. Has anyone said we’re getting rid of plastic anytime soon? Seems to be the opposite, more and more things are being made from plastic.

 

Here in SC it's gone up about 35 cents a gallon. Ethanol Free went from $3.45 to $3.89 rather quickly. The tradeoff though was the corner store was selling 87 Octane Ethanol Free, now it's 90 Octane, that can't hurt. There are alot of fishing boats around here using the ethanol free gas, so its an in demand product. Anything I own older than 2002 gets ethanol free gas.

 

It isn't just plastics and energy. We get EVERTHING from oil. Food, medicines and medical supplies, clothing, building materials (where do you think a Trex Deck comes from?), packaging, even road paving (the ONLY place to get asphalt is from the bottom of a barrel of oil, and there is no alternative source or material. Do we want to stop having roads?). Modern civilization as we know it was created from oil and simply would not exist if we "left it in the ground." If we want to know what civilization was like in the 17th century, leaving it in the ground is the way to find out.

 

Why do all the politicians think this is a good idea to handcuff our economy when we have an abundance of fossil fuels at our fingertips? It makes no sense. Aren't they supposed to be working for what we want? Not what the lobbyists want? I don't want an ev.
