California says "hold my beer" lowers gas prices to $4.99
I am not that bright but I live in a world of idiots.
I have given up on the serenity prayer. Now I pray for strength to kill enough of these people that they'll leave our children alone.
I can remember four years ago when it jumped from 1.22 to 1.49.
I kind of wish I'd filled a 500 gallon propane tank with 1.22/gallon 87 octane E10 in April 2020.
I think the hardest thing for good LE working for good agencies to really absorb is that there are whole departments full of exactly the complete fuckheads we rail against here. - vectorsc

And that's why so many people vote for Ds. They can't remember what things actually cost just a short while ago, so the current crop of assholes must not be the ones fucking them over.

Same.
I remember when the 1979 Iranian Oil Embargo / Energy crisis hit and no one had designed mechanical gas pumps (which nearly all were back in 1979) for prices over $1.00 a gallon. "Inconceivable!"
so the stations reset prices to be in "liters" which confused and angered Americans use to "Freedom Units".

LIFE'S JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE GRAVE SAFELY IN A WELL PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS, TOTALLY WORN OUT SHOUTING "HOLY $H!T...WHAT A RIDE"!!
Last fourth of July sheetz put all their gas at $1.776/gal. It was an absolute cluster fuck, but I persevered and got both vehicles and all the gas cans topped up.
