The end is near D.U. Community.

No it’s not the rapture only the end of affordable gasoline prices.

1. Who knew Iranian oil was critical to not already good price?

2. When gas goes up......

Never buy anything inside the gas station. That’s how they make most
Of their money. I had a part time job at a Speedway station and learned that.
By the way, stay away from Speedway, they set the local prices on gas.
Go to a local party store or Independent drug store.

6. Speedways coffee sucks also.

Yet I used to drink it coming out of Ohio terminal heading home it had lot this speedway across the road to park doubles.

17. The coffee at Kwik Trip is very good

and reasonably priced.

But I think Kwik Trip is a regional company, so there may not be any in your area.

3. The Rapture --- who remembers the Rapture scene in "6 Feet Under?"

B.T.W, when Rapturing time comes, I'm pretty sure I ain't going. So if you're going, can you put your car in my name? You ain't gonna need it no more.

[Duncanpup]

5. Absolutely yet first.

Let me get the new 02 sensor installed so the gas cap lite goes out. I try and not to screw over anyone it’s just my way unless you’re maga trash.

[3Hotdogs]

7. Nah. I ain't no maggot.

Now gimme the car, NOW. Why should I have to wait. If you're that much good in God's eyes, he will get you a new Mercedes in a week or so. So gimme the one you got. I can afford the sensor myself. I'll even go to pick it up myself. You don't have to deliver it.

(What model Maybach is it?)

11. It's a Jetta and calm down friend it's yours

[Duncanpup]

15. To be polite I just filled it up for you.

4. When gas goes up 10%, I try to cut out

10% of my drives. I also increase my gas saving driving habits, like slowing down much earlier for lights and stop signs. Instead of driving 5 under the speed limit, I go to 10 under. At a rest area, a guy came over to me and ask “hey buddy, do you know what the speed limit is”. I said yes I do, do you know what the minimum speed limit is? Left him speechless.

8. Topped off my tank...

Already.

Not planning on doing much travel so I hope I'll be good for a while.

[Martin Eden]

9. Cheap gas means more greenhouse gases

People tend not to conserve gas with their driving habits, and make fuel economy a lower priority when choosing their next car.

Of all the inflationary effects The Felon has and will have on the economy, more expensive gas concerns me the least -- except for lower income people who have to drive a long way to work.

12. When the price of diesel goes up

so does the price of everything we buy. $100/barrel oil is just around the corner. I don't think that Iran will close off the Strait of Hormuz, but it will target certain oil tankers. China is Iran's #1 customer so Iran is going to want to keep selling oil to them.

We have our 5th Fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf just to keep shipping lanes open, with that said, there will be disruptions.

[Martin Eden]

13. We have to change our transportation system and many of our habits

We can't afford not to. Catastrophic climate change will be much more costly.

[onenote]

19. Why do you think $100/barrel of oil is around the corner?

Israel started bombing Iran on June 20. Trump bombed Iran on Sunday.

While oil prices briefly dipped in May into the $60-$70 range in April and May, they recovered back into the $70s in the past week and have leveled off somewhat.

Predictions of $100/barrel oil price assume Iran will block the straits of Hormuz. But that is unlikely given that it wouldn't just impact the US -- it would impact other countries, particularly China as well as other oil producing countries. Iran has threatened such a blockade in the past and hasn't done it and its unlikely they will do it now.

Sky is falling posts play into Trump's hand by undermining our credibility.

UPDATE: As of 4pm Monday, West Texas Crude was down to below $69.

10. Just imagine what gas prices would be in the US if a Democrat were president?

Please Don't give me that speech about supply and demand and OPEC or summer blend.

The fossil fuel industry is a big part of this country's problems, just wait until Krasnov gives our land away to them, unregulated.

[EYESORE 9001]

14. Oh no! Not higher gasoline prices!

I can handle the end o’world thing. I’ve got that part covered, being all saved and faithy like I am. It’s so unfair to be majorly inconvenienced until the rapture actually happens, however. I was assured a swift, peaceful flight to heaven as I look back, singing ‘adios, suckahs!’ So unfair. I’m gonna complain to the management.

[TheBadWolf]

16. I got dressed at 1:30 a.m. on Sunday to get gas.

I just wanted to enjoy the feeling of sub-$4 gas once more before it's gone.

[LeftinOH]

18. And MAGAs will remind us that "Presidents don't control gas prices"

..without a trace of self-awareness.
