We just paid $3.14 per gallon to fill up this afternoon. By tomorrow the gas stations around here will likely be out of gas.

A couple of hot shot hackers are saying they tracked the attack back to the FBI. I’m shocked. 😮

I’m now paying $3.75/gal for unleaded, ethanol-free 90oct gas from Royal Farms, here in York (PA), for my Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI 5.7 V8; at $3.75/gal, up $1.00 just from last week.

Go figure.

“went up at a Shell station near me 20 cents overnight”

Our local mom and pop station had their tanks topped off on Friday- gas swent up 3 cents.

I was there today getting some snacks and they were told expect .30-50 cents per gallon increase next load.

Making a mountain out of a mole hill! So oil and gas supplies have been cut off. Big deal!!! Nobody needs oil or gas — not when we have windmills, solar collectors, and bicycles.

If you don’t have gas for your car, just take the bus — you should be doing that anyhow. If your house is getting a bit chilly, just put on a sweater, like Jimmy Carter told everyone decades ago. If it’s too hot inside, just open more windows & maybe wet your hair.

You might not like this — but, the planet does!!

I dunno where you’re at but up here at the GA/NC border it was $2.61 per gallon yesterday when I filled up. I haven’t been out since so it could be higher today.

Biden/Harris junta - 89 mid-grade is now 3.25/gallon in Michigan. Was about 1.90/gallon last November.

F.Y. Democrats...

Wouldn't surprise me at all.Their conduct since Obama's first term has been nothing short of treason.

This is what a company gets that skimps on IT upgrades and infrastructure.

Manufactured crisis right before Memorial Day weekend.

So TRUE... a clear case of establishment "BULL$HIT" called "fooling the folks" so the price can be raised.

I saw the news about the pipeline and I immediately topped off the tank.

Good thing I did, all my local gas stations were out today.

I figure we will see 5 dollar gas by mid-May. This pipeline outage was no hack - no doubt it was the totalitarians in league with the see aye ayyy wanting to shock confidence in the natural gas fueled vehicles, so everyone will buy one with a Chinese battery in it.

Cui bono?

Already over 3 bucks here.

It was $1.89 here in January when President Trump was still in office.

I suspect this sudden "outage" is designed to hide the truth that gas prices had already skyrocketed after January 20th and were heading north fast. Now we-know-who can blame it on Trump's good buddies, the Russians!

There was no pipeline hack. It’s all for show, compliments of Communist Theater Productions, Inc., Biden and Harris, Proprietors, since 2021.
