The highest ever paid for Diesel during the Trump Administration was $2.59 at Costco here.
We were in San Diego Ca. last week and paid $5.90 for Diesel.
Times like this is when I am glad that we no longer travel
Last time we paid that high gas was post hurricane Katrina -- gas shot up to $4.50 - $5/gal
I remember Jim saying what will happen, is when it drops down to $3.50/gal we all will be like *whew* what a deal --- when in actuality, it was still higher than what it was before the hurricane
And he was right. LOL
During the shutdown the prices dropped dramatically due to the supply & demand came to a halt, literally.
No cars
No planes
Sure a few people still were working, but the workforce for the most part was at a standstill for a good while.
Or working from home remotely
It was a ghost town when I went to town
The skies were the bluest I had seen since I was a kid with no planes/pollution in the air
Anyway, the forecast for the inflation and gas prices is not looking very encouraging for the next few months.
Hopefully the "experts" will be wrong
The greedy corps gonna get their monies back that they lost during the shutdown and the 'war' is the perfect excuse

Current cost here is $2.25 per litre which works out as 2.26 * 3.7854118
$8.555030668 Aust per gallon to my math. Convert 2.26 * 3.7854118
8.555030668 to USD = $6.25 US per gallon.
Feeling it.
Kind regards and sorry for the large letters and numbers.

The closest gas station to me, a little mom and pop shop out here in the boonies where I usually get my gas, had it for 4.15.9 a gallon for regular. Every single station for the next 20 miles was at the same price of 4.19.9 for regular unleaded.
They were ashamed to post their prices for mid-grade on their signs, but upon closer investigation it seems to be around 4.52.9 most places. I never discovered the price of high-test (which now has an octane that was, back in the day, considered mid-grade). Diesel was running anywhere between 5.58 and 5.99 a gallon.
So I filled up on the return trip at my usual mom and pop shop. They have gone to "prepay" because of the outrageous price of gas. Used to be, they turned the pump on when you pulled up to the pump, and you didn't pay until you were done pumping. I went inside to just leave a fistful of cash with the clerk and go back out to fill up, with intent to go back and rake back what cash was left over, but she saw me and turned the pump on anyhow. It pays to be recognizable some times.
That "gas" is only about 90% gas and 10% moonshine, but my car is a hillbilly car, so running on moonshine is right up her alley. We got back home with minimal stagger out of the car - she's a real trooper!

My area went up again.
Regular $4.49
Midgrade $4.89
Premium $5.19
Diesel $5.29
No end in sight, yet.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
@"Bally002" I wonder what the cost of living in other countries is compared to the U.S.?
I've got many internet buddies that are not from the U.S. and they have mentioned the cost of gas where they live being equivalent to $8-$9/gal here.....
So it made me feel like we shouldn't be complaining since ours is only approximately $5-6+/gal (runs more in some areas)
But then someone had mentioned cost of living, so maybe that is why Americans are in shock & whining when it is not as high as in other countries
I know minimum wage around here sucks big time, but as they do raise it, up goes the cost of living as well it seems.
Supply & demand plays a large factor as well
I have several coworkers that no longer drive but rather walk or ride a bicycle due to trying to save money
I personally think the oil companies are trying to find an excuse to jack the prices up to make up for the billions of dollars they lost during the shutdown and are just using the war with Russia/Ukraine to increase gas prices
Just my humble opinion, mind you
I am fortunate in that my work place is not far from where I live, nor are the grocery stores
And other than going to see my sister every month or so (she lives about 120 miles away) I really do not go any where these days.
I just stay at home and play with my dogs --- who end up getting my money

We are pretty high up there but I don't think cost of living is the only thing we should look at for a comparison.
I made another foray out into the world today. Gas hasn't gone up anywhere here since my last trip out - it's still 4.19.9 per gallon everywhere but one place, the little shop where I gas up. There, it has actually fallen from 4.15.9 to 4.09.9.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’

Been holding steady at $4.25 or $4.19 depends on where you go in the outskirts of Louisville for reg.

Premium is holding steady at around $5.19 but diesel has gone up to $5.69.
I haven't checked in the city, but these are the prices out here in the country, in my neck of the woods. On the rich folk side it is going for:

I am totally convinced this level of energy management incompetence has to be intentional. The PSYOP is stunning.
Yes intentional , to bring the US down, so they (the 'people' who call themselves 'elites' ) , can bring in the NWO.
When everything is down and broken, they will come and 'rescue' us
I do hope I'm wrong about everything, I really do, as I do not see a bright future at all.
I'm in Aus and the price of fuel has spiked to AU$2.15/L as a result of the Ukraine-Russia war which is interesting as (I thought) we don't purchase any of our oil from Russia - mostly from OPEC and UK?.
Still, it cost me almost $100 to fill my small, 6 y/o hatch back.

I wanna' be wrong too but I think I am deluding myself. It seems like exactly what you are saying.

Rogue News says that the US is a reality show posing as an Empire.
Gas is 6.00 at the Valero and is the ave price in Los Angeles. The difference between ya’ll and here is taxes. Im pretty salty. Gov. Gruesome doesnt GAF. “Let them buy electrics!”….Pendejo. (whoo hoo! I can say that here? Well I did clean it up since ya’ll are so nice.)

In exactly one week's time (from last Monday to today) the price of regular unleaded went from $3.49 to $4.25 in our neck of the woods and could be higher before the day is done.
The price of diesel in the same time period went from $2.89 up to $4.79- 4.99.
I refuse to even look at the higher octane gasolines anymore.
At this rate we are liable to hit that $7.00 per gallon that Trump warned us we'd get if Biden got elected before the end of the month! Love him or hate him that mean Tweeting MF'er was right!
What are the gas prices looking like wherever you are?
Reporting LIVE from Oregonistan!
Gas is edging 5 dollars with diesel already heading to 6 bucks.
But on the plus side, we don't have to deal with mean Tweets from the president, so people are happy to be paying more and eating cat food!
