A thread to cry about the ever increasing gas prices

[Flea Man Marbles]

I literally can't afford to leave the house. I'm staying in until 1. the earth explodes or 2. whatever alternative future presents itself and we're back to (ab)normal.

Gas is $3.98 where I live so I’m at the point where I just don’t go anywhere except to work and Walmart.

I'm considering water fasting on the weekends to save money on food. I know some people do this for health reasons. I'm worried I'll feel like shit though. I've been reading up on it and apparently this can be bad for women to do it too often. But it would definitely save me money.

I’ve contemplated trying this. 2 days a week shouldn’t be too bad if you eat decently the other 5.

Any idea why the price of diesel is spiking more than gasoline? All the ride a bicycle/buy an EV trolls aren't going to be so smug after the price of delivered consumables goes through the roof even more.

I hope so. I have water fasted before holidays, but doing it every week, idk. I'll make sure to buy some electrolytes.

Looks like "Economists" are wanting Uncle Sugar to pony up $300 a month for gas vouchers.

Me Right Now.

Had to fill up the tank again. $4.19 a gallon.

The worst part? About 10 minutes later, drove past a gas station that had gas for $3.97.

Probably timing. Right around now is when the refineries switch over to summer blends for gasoline and diesel, and IIRC summer diesel is not only a different grade but also a lower sulfur content so it's more expensive to begin with.

Just drink more electrolytes
Its what people crave

 

[Flavius Claudius Julianus]

Anyone else just never pay attention to prices? I go to a station, fill up to a certain amount, then leave.

I had a few people ask me how much petrol is per litre recently, and I honestly had no idea. I'm not frivolous with cash, but it seems to me one of those 'I need it, so it doesn't matter' things.

Bluestate bros don't get plastic straws. Gotta move to a red state so you don't drink your soda like a fucking cave man or prostrate yourself and manually ask for straw privilege every time.

HOW'S ALL THAT HOPE AND CHANGE WORKIN' OUT FOR YA?!

 

[marvlouslie]

It's damn near $4 a lot in the south. If you go into high urban areas, It's almost $5.

There are enough bicycles stored in sheds to sustain north america for years, assuming increased bicycle ridership doesn't immediately turn into increased bicycle thefts for scrap metal.

Hi, it's your uber driver. Am outside.

Mad that he doesn't have a magic wand he can wave and force oil speculators, you know the people who actually affect the price, to just *POOF* into the shadow realm?

Is there something about being a redneck that disqualifies you using your legs?
Bring a tent bro

Go ahead. See how viable it is to walk 16 miles to work in the mountains (where you can't go as the crow flies), especially in adverse weather, and still make it in on time. Do you even have a job?

Also, dumb shit, my job INVOLVES driving around once I get there. I can't load the supplies I have to ship from location to location on a Schwinn you fucking dunce.
