So now if you make more profit than the President believes you should he wants to tax you more. Funny that he doesn't mention Amazon from 2020/2021. He also has no concept of how hard those years were on some of us in the industry when oil went negative on the market.
Some of us lived in the days of gas rationing. I did and I worked at a gas station. You can not get to work with out it. I don´t care how rich you are. We only received so many gallons a week. If you have a diesel truck you might look into a spare tank in the bed and fill up now because you never know. China just banned vehicles non important to park and shut down a phone maker. There loaded with covid again in some parts of there country. Plus a Dang lot more going on over seas today.

Well I remember the odd even gas days. Had a friend from a place named Odd, WV. His tag said ODD. We had 2 locations in the 70s Fuel shortage and closed one but every night we took all customers from location 1 to location 2 and filled them up. Made garage customers happy. Good old days!

I remember the odd even days and gas rationing. Ain't scared and again, no one is stopping driving due to the price at the pump and if the diesel supply was to be impacted, before it could effect me, I'll have as many 55 gallon drums as I request shipped to my storage facility.

Those who refuse to learn from past history are doomed to repeat it.

This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.
Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Anyone who believes none of this is possible, is looking through the lens of the same *despicable* fake news media which conned them into taking an injection they don't have to reveal the ingredients of, for 75 years!
WILD!!!
Talk about naive!!

actually it slows me down. I will not go places when its $5 a gallon. Higher fuel prices slows down people from buying stuff, or cutting into grocery money, house improvements, etc cuz the money isn't there.

Still ain’t scared, still driving regardless of the price at the pump and still waiting to run out of diesel as the chicken littles here are waiting for the sky to fall.

That said, I've paid as low as $4.70 and as high as $6.30/gal this year for my GMC Truck. Currently around 5.75/gal in my area and I paid 5.69/gal last night. Diesel at the truck stops this year has been a high right around $7.00/gal though I've paid less using my discount fuel card.

I started running it July 4th weekend when they did a similar promo. I was shocked to discover that my 2012 Ram 1500 Hemi picked up 1.2 mpg! I've A-B-A tested it numerous times to verify. It's been a win-win for me.
