local news leading off with 45 cent price raise in 4 hours

[demtenjeep]

I knew I should have gotten gas yesterday

[shanti]

1. Where?

[demtenjeep]

2. ICT

Kansas

[Bengus81]

12. I haven't been out yet this morning but QuikTrip OWNS Wichita............

Those THUGS raise prices just to be raising prices. It was about 2.25 yesterday.

[Bengus81]

15. No...it was jacked 20 cents per gallon to 2.45--of course by QT

[Maru Kitteh]

3. That's why I got gas yesterday. Knew as soon as the markets opened -

BOOM!

4. Unless trump does something stupid

Like a military strike against Iran, oil prices should drift back lower as the damage gets repaired and oil supply gets restored. As I write this post oil futures are trading at $61.86, down $1.04 from today's closing price and considerably less than today's high of $63.35.
I trade oil futures everyday. I don't see this level holding unless, as I said, trump causes another price spike by doing something stupid.
Speaking of stupid, all these current Middle East tensions began when trump tore up the treaty we had with regard to Iran's nuclear program.

5. wanted to hold off until Thursday night. As a teacher we get lump sum for the remainder of

contract all in June so we haven't had a paycheck since June 20. Friday is PAYDAY

I usually do not take lump sum but the last 4 years we have because of the uncertainty of budgets thanks to brownback and KKKobach


Makes pretty great dividends in June and July but makes for a very skinny september




Remember teachers only get paid for 186 days so summers are not free

9. "Unless trump does something stupid" Ha!! Good one!!! n/t

[ecstatic]

6. Yeah. My dad warned me to fill up but I was already in for the night.

And around here, gas stations get a little crazy at night. Hopefully it's not too bad in the morning.

[marble falls]

7. 4% of the oil supply is compromised, and prices went up 10%.

[Joe941]

11. It's called supply and demand.

[elocs]

8. I filled up this morning at 3:30 at $2.49,

7 cents higher than it was on Sunday and I figure they would raise the price more later this morning.

[Joe941]

10. Gas prices need to be 7.50 to $9 a gallon to save the environment.

[NutmegYankee]

13. Poor people starving and dying off would help the environment too.

And make no mistake, calling for $9 per gallon gas is calling for poor people to starve.

[roamer65]

14. Only population reduction will save the planet.

If Dump bombs Iran, we just may get it...ala WW3.

[Calculating]

17. Bruh

You realize I literally couldn't afford to drive to work if that was true right? I'd be spending like 15% of my total pay on gas alone.

[sarisataka]

18. Driving is a privilege

That should be reserved for the wealthy


We can continue to improve car emissions and develop cleaner technology without forcing low income people to choose between driving to work or eating.

[trackfan]

16. It's only up 2 cents here in CA.

But we're already paying about $3.70
