I know there are other threads about this but I was just thinking…..it used to be a big deal for me to buy a $800 gun….actually still is. Today that will get me 4 tanks of fuel in a pickup truck. Station next to my house jumped $.70 per gallon this evening. Nothing like working to be able to buy fuel to work… sorry for the rant

A Trump campaign promise was $2 gas, yes I’ll give the benefit of the doubt and say that was in reference to 87 octane.
Semi trucks(6-8MPG depending on truck/load) are now burning at/near $1 in fuel per 1 mile, that definitely won’t cause inflation to go up.

Luckily I have a work vehicle to drive so my diesel is staying parked for now. It’s ridiculous how high diesel is at the moment.

I tell you what you aren’t seeing, is it bringing down prices in new and used diesel trucks.

I ended up getting a fuel transfer tank for my truck because of the fuel prices closest to my house. Prices are routinely .75- /$1.00 higher per gallon for diesel in shorter. I think diesel was $5.88 this morning. I try to fill up in Montgomery or at buccees in Auburn.

Maybe this will curb some of the ding dong mommies and hang dog daddies from buying $80,000 turbo diesel trucks to haul little Johnny’s t-ball gear from their $500,000 house in the subdivision where they don’t even have enough room to park two cars.
I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.

I bought my first diesel truck in 96 and fuel was under a dollar a gallon. My last diesel truck was ten years later and it was almost four dollars a gallon.

I remember .15 a gallon. We used to pour it on burn piles. It was considered a waste byproduct of refining

Diesel has NEVER been considered a waste byproduct of refining. It's always been a primary product off the tower. Y'all just making schitt up now.
