Report: US Gas Prices Could Double Soon, Amid Potential Supply Shortage

Some gas stations across the country are already bracing for the Next Big Thing involving surging fuel prices, namely the price per gallon potentially exceeding $10.00.

For other stations, however, there might be no product left to sell at the pumps.

Throughout eastern Washington, according to a Post Millennial report, gas stations are running out of fuel.

In the Tri-Cities region of Kennewick, Pasco, and West Richland, customers are reportedly pulling up to pumps ... only to find no gas available for purchase.

In fact, a local Facebook group has already identified 10 state stations that are currently out of fuel.

This current shortage mainly accounts for regular unleaded and premium gasolines; but the diesel supply is also in short supply, according to reports.

With the supply seemingly shrinking, and demand going way up, that naturally leads to higher fuel prices.

A "76" gas station in Auburn, Washington has already begun reprogramming its pumps to "make room" for double-digit pricing, according to the Post.

In the report, a 76 spokesperson confirmed the national gas chain was reprogramming the functionality of its pumps, while also falling short of predicting gas prices would rise that high.

Back in January 2021, the final month of former President Donald Trump's tenure in the White House, the average price of gas was $2.41 per gallon — with some states even reporting gas at less than $2 per gallon.

In the aftermath, though, coinciding with President Joe Biden taking office, fuel prices have skyrocketed in America.

How large are the increases? According to GasBuddy.com, a site which tracks gasoline prices throughout the world, only one state Oklahoma ($3.98 per gallon) has a per-gallon price below $4 right now; and six states — Oregon, Alaska, Washington, Nevada, Hawaii, and California — have average prices at $5.04 or higher.

From a national perspective, the U.S. reportedly set a new record high last week, posting an average range of $4.43 per gallon. According to AAA, that's a 35-cent increase from April ... and a $1.43 per-gallon hike since May 2021.

According to CBS News, premium gas now averages $5.07, up from $3.62 a year ago, while diesel has jumped from $3.15 to $5.56 a gallon over that same period.

Consequently, the seemingly exorbitant prices for gas and food, among other necessary staples, have contributed to America experiencing 40-year highs with inflation.

The Biden administration lists "inflation" as one of its highest priorities right now. But last week, the White House also canceled oil lease deals in Alaska — reportedly covering 1 million acres within the state.

This prompted Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to tweet in response.

"Joe Biden just canceled a 1-million-plus acre oil lease in Alaska.

"It's like they're intentionally trying to have high gas prices."

Get ready for the REAL Great Depression

It's hard not to believe the rich and connected aren't trying to get the last few bucks for themselves before the whole thing goes off the rails and implodes, on purpose...

SHORTAGE!

BINGO!

What does generational wealth look like?

Nation is screaming "Fuck Joe Biden" but the news refuses to pay attention.

Let's see just where 10 dollar a gallon gas gets us and whether the issue will still be ignored.

I run a construction company that operates all over the continental US, our monthly expense on gas is staggering right now and we are only at about 40% capacity.  It's gonna get rough.

you can't stop what's comin'.

ain't all waitin' on you.

that's vanity.

The WH press secretary will explain to us that gas going from $2 to $10 isn't really a price increase, and that people who suggest that it is are racist.

Another EV thread

I haven't been crying like everyone else has but if it hits $10 we are in deep shit.

We need states to start saying "fuck this, let's go drilling "

I have it on good authority, CNN/MSM, Joe is the most popular POTUS evar and this is all Trumps fault

Every person that considers themselves a Democrat is a traitor

Well, it started as a gas shortage thread

Yes, I knew where it was going.

Be prepared for it, I am.

Theyre a bunch of fuck sticks that put us in this situation by supporting his retarted/dementia ice cream licking ass

Be Prepared, son. That's my motto. Be Prepared.

When diesel goes to 10 plus a gal., and the price gets passed on, will get interesting

I'll just ride my bike to work. Suckas

Among other things! Fuck the feds! Only hope is for states to move on.

I see the NeverTrumpers are on here loudly condemning the current administration and its actions. Oh wait they are busy shoehorning Trump into other threads.

Wonder when these come back

at least there's no more mean tweets

Shortages my ass. There hasn’t been a disruption in supply. I haul fuel every day.

Nah. "Essential services" vouchers will be handed out.

The democrats want to destroy the economy in the name of climate change. Here it comes

That's the neat part, there won't be work. FJB

NeverTrumpers = DeepStaters

they love their tyranny and think we should all suffer with them

Fixt

Yeah, guess you don't know how the world works!

I'll just hold my breath waiting for literally any form of government to "pause" gas taxes to help their constitutes through these tough times.

It will get real when the white house, congress etc sees large mobs outside waiting to rip them apart.

Short of that ? Keep enjoying bites of the shit sandwich

Never happen lmao

Cannot afford the gas to get to DC.

Residents of DC are just as shitty as the politicians

I’ll likely lose my job and my savings and my house but at least there will be no mean tweets.

This

Ammo, Food, batteries, Ammo, CLP, plates, non-perishables, make friends with people that live near FT Braag…….all of these things should be high on your list

Agree, the MSM will let us know it is needed or the whole world will go over a cliff in X or XX years (pick a number).
