I just filled the gas tank on my motorhome with 61.5 gallons of regular, it cost me $267.02...

Compared to the $167.22 it cost me for 57.9 gallons of regular in June of 2024. When PRESIDENT BIDEN was in office.

Thanks "Stupid Fuck"!

Less than 4 gallons difference for $100 more.

But let's talk about the price of eggs.

Or going from Vancouver Island in western Canada to Prince Edward Island in eastern Canada?

Or while seeing all of the spectacular scenery driving from Neah Bay which is the northwestern most tip of the contiguous US in Washington state to Eastport Maine, the easternmost city in the continental US?

There are trade offs in life. We decided we would trade a fixed residence for some incredible experiences and scenery.

We know fuel prices are part of our lifestyle, I was just showing what a difference a "regime change" can make.

the percentage under 100%. That’s not like him. I worry that he’s ill.

Second, I was shocked a couple of weeks ago that my Grocery Outlet here on the Central Coast had eggs for $1/dozen! I bought only two dozen. Had I been smart I would’ve bought 6, eaten nothing but eggs for the next couple of weeks and used the savings for gas!

I am retired and do not drive much. I am afraid to fill up now. May be in month of May I hope gas will be cheaper.

The Diesel prices are already starting a shock wave through the economy. The next 90 days are going to be brutal on the economy.
