what are you going to do at 8-10 dollar gas??????

because its looking like it will

Stay home and go fishing

Making long trips to Amarillo or the Valley have never been too bad. These trips will require hitting more projects per run than before.

I’ll keep working so that American oil and gas companies have holes in their casing that allows their wells to be fracked and produced. The more we perforate, the faster we drive that price back down. We’re doing our part. I don’t know of any democrats that are doing their part.

My plan is very similar.

Go electric..

my man

gripe but still drive

Two wheels use less.

Democrats said a year ago that the goal was to drive fuel prices up $1\gallon each year, until you could not afford to operate a gas or diesel vehicles.
Looks like they are ahead of schedule on this one.

Who said this?

Thankfully work pays for my gas

Not look at the price because there isn’t a damn thing I can do about it and I still have to work.

PATAMOBILE!

Well, I hate to burst their bubble...(not really)...
Have those morons, considered what will happen when you plug in all those cars to recharge..
The system can't hardly handle cold weather. Much less a 100 million electric tennis shoes..
Where do they think that power is coming from ? Green energy my azz...

Not.

Oh man, quit fretting

Sleepy Joe and his house of unicorn lovers have it all figured out

Bought this a few days ago.

F J B !

I’ve considered something similar. I dislike being in a car so much I’ll just deal with the fuel prices. I only drive 400-500 miles a week for work.

My daily driver is a company truck, and they pay for fuel. I’ll probably drive my personal a bit less on weekends, and pull my boat to closer lakes.

Yep.

Been there before. Bunch of pessimist on here. Want t make any bets?

Keep living WFO. You can’t take it with you.

Very little forethought has been put into preparing people to buy and use EV's. But that's entirely beside the point. Right now it's all about making money on government funding to build and sell them. It's up to the consumer to figure out all the life-changing and expensive details on how to use and maintain them. As they like to say, "Let them figure all that out."

We'll wait to sometime later to discuss how to safely defend the nation and take the battle to our enemies without the use of fossil fuels. Besides, our enemies are sure to follow the same course or cut us some slack while we toy with our rail guns.

Do as I have always done, drive.

What the hell are you talking about? Do you even know, anymore?

Nice car! You keep the oil changed and I bet it will give you 300,000 miles

Hopefully the price on hot rods goes down.

Guess I'll have to go old-school:

I have done all I can do. I vote the proper party and put a Biden 'I did that' sticker on the pump. I feel sorry for the lower paid people who have to drive to work.

I have done all I can do. I vote the proper party and put a Biden 'I did that' sticker on the pump. I feel sorry for the lower paid people who have to drive to work.

As much as it hurts; it’s necessary to teach people a lesson about voting for democrats.

That’s really all we can do

I figure 5 - 6 dollar gas in Texas, but I don't drive much anymore.

I will still go where I like.

Problem is, it's pleases them that gas is going way up. It will encourage you to go buy a Prius.
They're geniuses.

I’d be cool with Electric car if the EPA would get the hell out of our power production from a grid standpoint.

More natural gas

During off season, I'll have to have a reason to make trips to the lease now. Can't be, "I just want to look around." Which I was doing every weekend.

The pain will also be felt as transportation cost for goods will be passed on to the consumer. It’s going to get real ugly.

That worked so well during the Obama administration when gas was almost $5 a gallon. That sure learned them

Every dem on this forum doesn’t care. That’s what’s so funny. The party for the working middle class(allegedly) sure doesn’t care about destroying the buying power in the working class and creating hardships, which essentially push the poor even poorer.

I like $60 a barrel Oil. Happy medium between Jobs and COL.

This here. My only long drive is to the lease. I'll still go, just stay longer instead of many short trips. Sucks now that I'm retired, but it is what it is...for 3 more years at least.

You d man Sneaky...

You gonna pull a trailer/tractor or haul feed with that electric?

“Oil companies raise the prices not the pres”- colt.45

Similar here. I'll keep doing my part to bring deep water oil & gas facilities online and get them producing. As long as I can, anyway......sure would be nice if all new permits in the GOM weren't stopped on day one of this "administration".

It’s getting sporty and gonna get worse before it gets better. You notice more on major buys or things like gas you buy a lot of.

Yesterday I bought dog food. I buy the decent stuff. Purina pro plan. I know that stuff is up nearly 50% from a year ago. When she said 80 bucks I dang near fainted.

When all of the grain being pulled from the field this year hit the market in the form of bread, cereal, pasta. On and on and on. It’s gonna take some folks breath away.

and russia just stopped the export of fertilizer

If you think inflation is bad right now at 7% just let fuel go to $8 a gallon and stay there for a while. Hope you enjoy that $20 cheeseburger and $5 fries.

I don't believe Obama, as much as I never agreed with him, never thought in his wildest dreams that Joe Biden would screw things up this bad.

I was in Bandera this morning to get some gas. Regular was $3.69 and diesel was $4.56 at the shell station. WOW

Good choice JG. Much better than putting miles on an expensive truck.

And it already needs to be towed. Just kiddin', nice.

IDC...employer pays for my gas.

I've had my new truck for a year and a half and have 3800 miles on it. I don't really care much about the price of gas.

Since I own my own business and find oil for a living this is going to be me in the near future. I feel bad for the pain it will bring to a lot of people but I don't set the prices they are what they are and all I can do is do my part to find more. Having been in this business since the early nineties I have seen many ups and downs.

like the colors, Bob. ^^^

Tesla

0 to 60 in under 2 seconds, Top speed 200 mph

https://www.tesla.com/inventory/new/ms?arrangeby=relevance&zip=75035&range=200

For those considering buying an EV, most of them require roughly 32 amps at 220 volts to add roughly 25 miles of range per hour of charging. A 50-amp charger will get you about 37 miles of range per hour of charging. Of course, you'll need to have a charging station wherever there's a need to park and recharge your vehicle.

With central air units pulling anywhere between 15-60 amps, you might think of the power needed to charge your EV as being what's needed to run your central air AC.

JG, I know why that window is open and I wish there was video of your stealthy ingress/egress maneuvers

After a month or 2 of the high prices the oil companies will have a glut of both crude oil and refined fuel. Supply will exceed demand and the price will start coming back down.

But in the other hand if Shorty keeps going in Ukraine, we might have a scorched earth problem in 2 or 3 months and gas will be the least of the problems.

Just ran to town, station closest to me was $4.09 for diesel so I said I don't think so and went to town. I was there about an hour and the station I use there was $4.19, dang, so I figure I will hit the one closest to home on the way back, at least it was cheaper, I pull in at it flips to $4.35. Pi** me off. I am not rich and have places to go and poor mileage.

Would you like to put a wager on that?

I thought Summer was the peak of the buying season for gasoline. I guess a lot of folks with be taking staycations this year.

We are playing right into Putins hand by making him think that we have problems that are not there

It simply will not happen.

+1

I'll drive when & where as I please & just pay the price. I'm old & retired & have worked very hard to get to this point in my life. I won't deny myself the 8k to 10k miles/year I drive.

They lose lots of value once they get 100k on them. Bought this one with 117k, and don't even care. I have never paid someone to service anything, truck, tractor, skid steer. But the thought of trying to get under this sickens me. Buddy of mine has another friend with a service shop up the road. Probably will drop it off and say "change oil, filter, fuel filter, air filter, call me when you're done. And I agree, 300,000 is quite possible for these, so I've been told.

I watched Duke's of Hazard as a kid. I got this!

Redneck spreadsheet..

I guess we'll just go to the Dr's in Tyler as we do now and stay home the rest of the time.

KA.....is here.......B is on deck.

Probably start working from home more. Glad my pickup gets mid to upper 20’s mpg.

Wife wanted an expedition, probably get her a car again.

Keep working and writing orders. The small customers will have more money to spend too, that means more driving. I’m all in!

All 4 stations I went by in New Braunfels were the same price for diesel, $4.29. $100 bill for 1/2 tank.

That’s what they want you to think. Inflation is realistically over 12%. I’m in the down stream sector and work for a major. We have a turnaround coming up and we have to cut so much scope because we can’t buy material like aluminum piping. I literally told one vendor I’d pay him 300% over asking price for what we needed and he said it just isn’t available. So when companies with pockets like Chevron can’t buy there way out of material shortages. Houston we have a major problem.

I might have picked a bad time to retire...or maybe I picked the RIGHT time to retire! I guess time will tell.

This was mine today. Truck normally takes 31-32 gallons but the pump cut me off at $100. [censored] is gonna suck when it doubles per gallon.

Like I said in the other thread wish I would have had another Biden sticker to “refresh” the pump.

Is it the credit card companies or the gas stations cutting off at $100.00? Whoever it is needs to adjust for Joe time!

I work from home. I will have to pay it but it is just money. We we make more.

Not sure. Think it’s the gas station.

We were traveling the week before Christmas to Brandon MO and got cut off at $80 and wasn’t completely full. So I’m thinking it’s not the CC companies since it was cut off at two different prices.

Can't teach those Idiot's nuttun!

$3.99 today, card cut off at $100

I thought that was cheap for what I have been hearing

I am supposed to tow the Rv to Colorado this summer

Start saving for it now.

I put 35's on and now I get 8.5 - 9 mpg.

You know a small supercharger makes those V-10s a beast. Might as well.

The city budgeted 2.75 p/gal for gas for our patrol vehicles. At this point, we are sustainable but if it goes much higher we'll be patrolling from the PD or another central parking lot. Strictly reactive and not proactive.

If it gets that high I’m going to party with my friends working oil and gas… that is assuming they actually get time off work.

Some don't know truth from fiction.

No one is willing to put money where their mouth is.

At least upgrade it with Airbags (for safety sake).

I can send you some....I have hundreds.

Appreciate that sir, but I need to just break down and buy some. Feel like I’ll be getting a lot of use out of them in the coming years.

Gas is $1.80 a gallon

Diesel is $1.90 a gallon

Ah yes, seperating the from the rest of the crap...

Some one tis getting rich off these high prices...

Im selling out and buying a truck bed full of weed, cocaine and back porch whiskey and rounding up some $3 whores,, I’ll be going all in on Swamp Crotch Brothel’s where the juice is always better than the squeeze… I’m starting with a buy one get one free special and the first 100 get a free penicillin shot. Grand opening should be around April 1st so keep your schedules open



F Joe Biden and his rat toed whore VP

That should be a crime. Let’s ban rich people!

Got a purdy good deal on a new truck in 2008 when the gas market was crazy... Maybe history will repeat itself.

You got any pictures of these $3 whores?

X 2

As for the price of gas. I probably won't change my driving habits. I am retired so I may go a week not driving a vehicle on the public road.

crypto to 300k........oil to 30 bucks or less.

I saw a place in Weatherford that was $3.99 for regular and $4.89 for diesel.

Up $.40 per gallon today that's since Thursday.

Saw $4.25 for diesel today

Grabbed $100 worth yesterday for $3.99

This one is gonna be historic hope y'all know

$5 diesel in the next 2 week easy

Diesel in west Texas this morning. I had about 5/8 of a tank and this didn’t fill it up

I saw diesel for $4.74 in Harper today. Saw it at one more location that I thought said $4.96 per gallon but must have misread it. Gas was $3.99

If I could find the bet, Id bet $7 diesel by May

Most of these invasions are 40 plus days.... were on day 9, 10?

And we closed at $115 on Friday

Gimme $150 EASY

This one is gonna be epic

What I am curious of and I posted it a few weeks ago...

121K for a new Escalade....

Hows that gonna work

$5/$6 gas and a 121K SUV

It'll be a rodeo

I'm already not driving my truck. At current prices it costs me 32 cents per mile to drive it. Its parked. Ill be trading it in end of the month. I'm very glad for this little 05 Honda civic we have. Driving it eveywhere.

Gas stations need to change the $100 limit on pumps. I couldn't fill my truck up for that before this craziness. Now you'll only be able to put in half a tank before it shuts off.

Drive the wife's car more and when in the truck slow down to 70 to increase mileage.

Filled up yesterday @$3.49... Today $3.79 in San Angelo... I'm filling up at 1/2 a tank full for awhile. Who knows, they may be out tomorrow!

This is about a day and a half fuel for a semi. It is going to trickle down to the price of everything,

Still holding at $3.59 around here. I topped off at $3.39 last week. Going to the lease next Sunday...have a feeling I'm not going to be happy filling up afterwards.

well I was at 200 long................now oil is about to drop to 30.00

Won't happen.

WHAAAAAT!

OUCH!

A B-52 holds 38,000 gallons give or take. They usually have to aerial refuel at least once or twice a mission. The amount of fuel the air force uses in a single day is staggering.

$3.99 for regular as I was coming home an hour ago. QT station went up .30 cents in the 2 hours I was visiting my sister-in-law.

Bad news for my clients tomorrow. It is what is...

Monday is going to start off rough, WTI was over 125 a barrel a few minutes ago.

I'm still waiting for the price of coffee to go up.

Super fascinating and relevant, Bill, as always.

Actually it has.

Everything is going up. Needed a bag of dog food, so stopped by Petco. The 47 pound bags of the brand we use has gone from $69.00 to 79.00.

I went to Canton Saturday, and a few vendors I spoke with said they don’t know if they’ll be able to stay in business. Key factors for them were cost of materials and fuel.

Maybe I’m being too pessimistic, but I told my wife that if gas reaches $5.00, which I think it will, we could see all hell break lose as a society. Even more so than we’ve seen the last few years. I hope I’m wrong.

You’re not noticing

What kind of hell will break loose? It’s been $5 for a while in Cali

Everytime minimum wage goes up, it turns inta a feeding frency...

With the price of fuel up, and no doubt the price of corn will be up. Deer season could be interesting next year...Heard today about 12% of the worlds corn comes from Ukraine.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/oil-traders-200-per-barrel-report

Corn is up but not stupid. Northern Hemisphere is already cut, so it's really just speculation on how much gets planted.

With that said if corn is really high going in to April/May be a lot more grown in the US, to take advantage of high future contracts.

The difference between needs and wants has never been more noticeable. The price of gas has definitely reduced the number of places that I need to go.

Never ever?

now that deer season is over, my mileage has drastically dropped ...

I don't believe there's any question an increasing number of deer feeders will be allowed to run empty this Spring and Summer.

The poor deer will suffer! Spoiled all these years

oh I will still be filling feeders every 2-3 months but won't be driving 350 (east TX) or 600 (west TX) miles each weekend like I pretty much did starting around Labor day thru the end of February.

It looks like the gas futures market about tied or took out the 2008 high today.

I knew this would happen.

OMG!

In answer to the OP original question??? Pay it - what choice do you have?

When it hits $5/gal (it's going to for sure) I'll start working from home. I'll come into the office 1x a week. Boss can take it or leave it - or give me a raise. I commute ~150 miles round trip per day. 100% of my job can be done remotely...we'll see what happens.

I'm also in the O&G industry.

Now that is good stuff!!!

Just like cigarettes beer and whiskey just keep on buying it cut back on some of the other. FJB

Just filled up in Little Rock Arkansas a couple hours ago. Diesel $5.03 a gallon. Glad it only took 100 gallons.

F J B.

This might just knock the dollar off as the world reserve currency.

Care to guesstimate what the price of corn will be in September? Local coop has 50 lbs. $8.98 and Buccee's has it for $8.40 as of last Friday.

No idea but I need a current N. Ft Worth Bucees corn price.

Id bet buying it now is cheaper

Ive been wrong before

That’s certainly the goal of BRICS - seems like they’ve got OPEC onboard with it too.

“Amenities” and “Orla” don’t typically belong in the same sentence.

Looks like this will be the largest asset in my portfolio

I'd gladly buy that sign if you need gas money

your going to need a couple of machine gun nests to protect that thing.

The sec. of energy sounds like the Louisiana politicians years ago whenever they were trying to get the lottery voted in. They told the constituents that all gambling proceeds would go to education. They neglected to tell the whole story; all of the proceeds do indeed go to the education funds, the politicians just took that same amount out of the education funds and put it in the general treasury.
They told you enough to get you to believe that the educational funds would increase by whatever revenues came in from gambling.

Same with sec of energy. Sure solar and wind are the cheapest there is, but that’s not even close to the rest of the information that you need to make a wise decision

Gasoline.........just across the red river on IH -75 is 3.69 for regular or 3.99 for pure gasoline in Kingston this morning

People are stealing gas in Frisco. To be expected...

Texas did the same thing win they first allowed the sale of lottery tickets.

yep. that's how they always get it passed.

My uncle texted me this morning, i'm not sure what station he was at, in Conroe.... Diesel $5.19

Diesel is $5/gallon here now, filling up today.

The hasp is backasswards

Bet they lose the key the first week. Lol

I saw $5.39/gallon diesel today. People already posting in the Trading Post...looking for a cheap daily driver. Embrace the suck men!

I wonder if there are any motorcycles to be had?

Makes you wonder if the truck market will cool down a bit...

Maybe, but we will be going from 10 buyers per truck to 5 buyers per truck. I doubt we will see it as availability or reduced price.


Clearly I made those numbers up but I think they’re fair.

Diesel 5.19 here in Lindale. Regular $4.

I'm trading my diesel truck in. Was originally planning to buy a smaller truck but think I will wait a while to see how all this goes. I'm thinking of looking for a motorcycle.

I will suffer and dislike Biden even more like, everyone else. Man, he and his cabinet full of freaks and perverts have managed to completely screw up everything…

Lots of them. Been trying to talk my wife into letting me get one. Got cash to pay for it tomorrow if she’s say yes. But it’s a big negative she is scared to death of them. Afraid I’d kill myself on one. She is probably right with all the [censored] drivers out there.

Yeah, me too. No way I would drive one around here. I was just wondering if bikes had dried up as much as cars. If you own a bike you should have to fill out an organ donor card...

I am riding in style getting about a 100 miles per gallon.

These people live in an alternate dimension or they lining thier pockets.

What is the real carbon footprint of going "green"? This will require building products with a limited life cycle that are not recyclable and will be here after the second coming. I am not saying it is not possible, I just have no confidence in leadership who debate inoffensive pronouns.

The amount of infrastructure required for their crack pipe dream would take decades if not longer. It’s all a sham.

That’s right!

I was happy when I paid $4.49 to fill up today

Just got my Duramax out of the shop after replacing the entire fuel system from injectors back. $182 to fill up sucked.




Why anyone would support these liberal ideologies is beyond me? This is absolutely wiping out a ton of discretionary income and that ain’t good for the economy.

According to either Princeton or Brown University

It’s a 100-1 physical footprint difference. Renewable vs petro/ng

For the US to run solely on Renewable, the actual physical footprint would be basically the state of Texas being filled by the square inch with solar and wind. Displacing 35 mil citizens and probably 10 mil undocumented. No turkeys, no trees, no deer, no wildlife

We can just keep burning coal and petroleum products to provide the electricity to power our electric cars and pretend that we’re better people for it, just like the current electric car owners are already doing.

Just took delivery of a tesla model s yesterday, so far so good, parking the diesel except when towing now

LOL...no you weren't! You rolled your eyes and shot sleepy Joe the middle finger like I did this morning.

Question : "How long should Americans be bracing for this historic inflation and unprecedented gas prices?"

Wow, I was thinking 15 to 1. I had not considered geographical foot print. But, not surprised. Thanks

Guy rolled through a gas station yesterday driving one of these; he was laughing at everyone pumping gas!

Been shopping to replace my old KLR650 motorcycle. Bad seller's remorse from 10 years ago. 55mpg too, vs 17 now. Less towing capacity though....

For those buying cars to park your trucks and save on gas…

You pay $10-$30K to save $50ish per tank of fuel.

This math doesn’t really add up for me. Gonna take a long time before you realize any savings on that.

Oil is down almost $10/bbl this morning

I drove back to Baytown from College Station today and got 18 mpg (by lieometer) running 70 most of the way.
I usually run 80ish and get 15.

Need gas today.

bannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn him

This morning on my way to work, 4 lane divided hwy with 70 mph speed limit, I was in the slow lane at a stop light with 4 cars behind me fast lane empty. I took off slower than molasses in January and topped out at 60 mph… nobody passed me or even tailgated.

My baby diesel arrived at work this morning with 30.7 mpg on the lie-o-meter, it’s usually about 2 mpg high though. A little over 200 miles on the tank so far and distance to empty is still over 600, with the little tank, 26 gal.

Left a week ago for Colorado and gas in Texas was right at $4. Got back to Texas this morning and paid $3.55. What happened to $8-10?

In the last week we drove from Tx, through Okla and into Ark. No detail research but seemed in Tx it was around $4. Okla was definitely a little cheaper and in Ark it seemed even less. I paid 3.45 in Eureka Springs. When we got back to TX is seemed to be about 20cents cheaper than when we left. In Tyler I saw 3.82 on one corner and 3.58 on another. That 3.58 seemed really low so maybe a gimmick. Thats all just from glancing at prices as we drove and making mental notes.

Paid $4.69 for diesel at Luling Bucees on Thursday afternoon. It was $4.89 when we stopped there that morning for a cup of coffee and kolaches. Saw it as high as $5.15 on I-10 on the way to Houston that day.

I saw $5.49 at a truck stop on the Sam Houston tollway N between 45 and 59 in Houston.

10k pound, 4WD, Cummins, four door, flatbed, Laramie package, 135,000 miles on it. Tires, brakes, filters, oil, fuel. It all adds up. I especially do not need all that truck to keep just taking me to the fire station and back. Which is a 124 mile round trip. I've got 4.5 to 9 years left to go.

Basically, I am now saving fuel, maintenance cost, tires, and keeping miles off a truck. Plus reduce the risk of someone totaling it. I do not want to replace it. What is the equivalent truck in 2022 prices, $80,000? Mine is paid off, I'd just like to keep it that way.

JG, I saw some 1/2 ton Laramies the other day that were in the low $70’s.

Wow!

Definitely driving a whole lot less. Makes it much easier outside of deer season. FJB

Prices are now starting to fall.

I’m ok to do the same as with current fuel prices.

Nothing really changing here. I don't have to go anywhere to hunt, fish, trap hogs etc.

It pays these days to have built in entertainment here at home. My SXS gets pretty good MPG lol........

$9.75 for diesel and $8.75 for unleaded in Cali as reported this morning. I pain $3.69 for unleaded in Cisco Friday and that was only to top off before coming home.

$3.70 here.

Waste of time. It is falling. Look it up.

Man keep fracking with mother nature, father time gets angy...
pappy

That makes zero sense.

I would take fracking a mile below me, well before a mile deep open pit mine on my land.

The man says tis and pappy...

I don't think he is all there honestly
