Crazy gas prices

[nfrine]

Well I guess we can enjoy this month, understand our president has intervened with the Saudis, probably leveraging Yemeni help for Saudi production cuts. Can someone say government intervention, market manipulation and price fixing in one breath. Motivation seemed to be helping USA oil industry. Maybe he could have used his leverage to just ask exxonmobile or conocophilips to buy "aMerican", like we are urged by our local Chambers, of Commerce

Of course this would be raising the costs of production, lowering profit margins, and lowering stock prices...manipulating the holy grail of American Capitalism, the dow jones industrial average. Wait, onlly those socialist and commie countries in Europe do that, we cant have that in Merica. Where are the free market advocates, and pitchforks, rebel flags, and live free or die flags. We cant stand for this type of government interference, taking ice cream from our kids/grandkids because we have to pay government manipulated prices for gas!!

Yeah. I'm a strong believer in wealth distribution. It works well everywhere it has been tried....

Previously you didn't have to be a member to get gas at the Windsor Heights Sam's. Not sure when that changed as we are members.

Thinking of driving to the cabin in Minnesota. Both wife and I are working from home, kids off school, and we need a change of scenery. Is this a dumb idea?!?

Sounds like an amazing idea to me

Had a quarter or so of Fuel Saver lying around, so I just filled up in Ankeny for $0.72/gal. Filled up for $10 flat.

Doesn't suck one bit, lemme tell ya'.

Are you serious not joking? We'd need to figure how to have them not poop at a gas station for the 7 hour drive

Can't poop if you don't feed them

Feed them 2 pounds of cheese the day before. They won’t go 2 for the next day. But watch out when they do.

Luckily we can let them go in the woods until things are more "consistent"

You need to teach them the art of hovering.

100% serious. I’d love to have the option to go up to a lake cabin for a week or 2 right now.

Adult diapers maybe.

I just filled up in Camdenton Missouri for 1.79 for 93 percent. Normal non ethanol was 96 cents a gallon. Unreal

Lots of cheese and dairy the day before should handle that problem.

What's 93 percent? Were you buying moonshine?

This map is suspect. Prices on the ground in WI are nowhere as low as what is being reported here in various Iowa locations.

I think it is probably just outdated by now.

It would be dumb not to!

I’d try to fuel up and get loaded on your supplies here to limit exposure up there to a different set of people and virus potential.

Enjoy it.
