Regular gas in Riggins Idaho is $3.90/ gallon. Up over a buck from this time last year. Diesel fuel is $4.20/gallon. That’s up from $3.13 a year ago. The owner of the gas station said it’s not gonna stop climbing for a LONG time and it’s headed for $5.00/gallon for regular by mid 2022. Diesel will be over $5.50 by then. His projection. 24 miles south of us regular is $4.23/ gallon.🤨

For most of us that's always been true. This just emphasizes the point. Other than the taxes that are put on it, I've never thought "the government" had much to do with the price of gas. I'm re-evaluating that opinion. I'll let you all know.

Yeah let us know what you come up with for sure. Kinda strange that prices have double and, in many cases tripled and quadrupled just since January. Seems like we encountered a changed in “government” about two weeks before everything started going to hell.🤔

$2.99 for regular today, but it will go up for the holiday. The station I typically go to had just filled up as the tanker was just packing up. They raised it to $3.24. More than double than it was before the e******n.

It doesn’t take a class in rocket science to figure out the problem behind this current issue. I’ve got a first cousin right next to his wife in intensive care, right now, with a bad case of c***d19. They’ve both been fully v******ted and have had a c***d19 booster. His wife said if she survives this she quitting her job as a nurse at the local VA hospital there. They required them all to be v******ted and now 1/3 of the hospital staff is home sick with c***d and they gave it to their v******ted families. So much for that “government” promise to cure things.😉

My wife and I have yet to get our boosters but I'm sure that we will eventually. Neither of us has even had bad cold so far. I've got three daughters that for different reasons have not been v******ted. Two of them have had to deal with c***d. They're 50-ish except for the youngest who is 39. The two older ones both had c***d, but since they're young and in pretty good shape they weren't that sick with it. Miserable, but not critical. The only people I've heard of that got c***d after they were v******ted have been folk that weren't actually v******ted, they claimed to be but weren't, like dipchit Aaron Rogers.
As for gas prices, I'm wondering if we aren't being not so gently nudged into acceptance of vehicles powered by other than f****l f**ls? Has anyone done a comparison of cost to operate between gas and diesel and electric? Other than the cost of buying one or other. I see that Hyundai has come out with the Nexo which is powered by hydrogen, which is a great idea, but they go for about 60K, and where the hell you go to get a hydrogen fuel cell? And what does one of those cost if you can find one?
