Just got home from a two week road trip. 2 tracks, 7 opportunities. I made enough to cover my fuel expenses for the SEASON is that a major score too?

I'm driving to work this morning and it is a new month.
Every station is up at least 50 cents a gallon.Cheapest I saw was $5.699 at the Speedway.
But this is actually nothing compared to my nearly $6,000 repair for the transmission that went out in my 2018 Chevrolet Silverado over the weekend.

Filled with diesel last night, down .30/gal from last Thursday.

Expert explains sudden gas spike.

You can know it's a con, when it starts off with *expert*

Yet fuel prices are at all time highs.

Again, it's really no concern to me, it is what it is. That said, I'm certain regionally, gas station owner/operators are price gouging and/or price fixing.

Yes! Funny when I go into town and every single station, no matter brand, has the same price. I know that somewhere between my oil well and my gas tank someone is making a bundle.

EXACTLY!

They test everything in California first.

Scientifically test and analyze the reactions of their subjects.

I've seen lots of signs like that. I don't understand. How could the mid grade and premium be only a few cents more?

I dunno this is from CBS Los Angeles saw on FB.

Gas prices in Southern California continue to rise to all-time highs, with this gas station on the corner of Alameda Street and Cesar E. Chavez Avenue surpassing the $8 per gallon mark.

Everything always happens in California first for scientific studies.

When it takes 54% of income to survive, riots break out.

Supposedly this is the established breaking point for people.

I just read the Cesar E. Chavez life story on Wikipedia. It's worth a read, and it is incredibly appropriate that these ludicrous fuel prices are on a street named after him.

They think he may have died from a hunger strike. Weird place we're all inhabiting currently.

Twilight Zone.

Get all that you can handle, become a farmer!

Been a farmer. I had to go to town this morning and got fuel for $4.17 a gallon here in central NC

We will be going only to races with multiple races in a weekend and larger payouts. Got a W at the GallStar TV BracketFest and paid for a couple years of racing expenses, a couple weekends ago.
The ol S10 is a tough out right now.

Good luck to everyone and PLEASE encourage people you to vote the Democrats outa here!

Way to go Toad

Mine's parked indefinitely.

individual finances. I can afford to go every weekend. But I will not. There are more important things to spend money on.

Closest major race track is 350 miles one way.
