The trucking issues are not so concrete. I'm thinking the Covid lockdowns had to be at least part of it. All it would take is some of them losing their trucks or businesses, enough of the older ones to just thrown in the towel and retire, etc. and the total volume of drivers drops.

Re: Gas Prices?
I'd say it's a little late for that.... Just my 2¢ worth.

Re: Gas Prices?
But you know Leon, there isn't much of anything you can talk about that doesn't have some bit of government involvement in it some where along the line.
The key is being able to have a conversation about something without ending up throwing rocks at each other.

The problem is, and you will notice it in this thread, that with every page the politics creep in a little more and get a little bolder. Before you know it the mods and administrators will have a full blown bashfest on their hands. I've seen it happen more than once. That is exactly why the Administrators have banned discussion about politics and the other topics that are not allowed. Since Tim is participating in this thread I will leave it up to him to moderate it. That's all I have to say..... LockDoc

Re: Gas Prices?
Well since I first posted this way back in March of this year we've made it to 10 pages of replies with a few hints and references leaning to the political side. Hope we can continue price postings across the country and not be shut down and sent to a corner. Believe me it's hard not to mention ones thoughts as to just what is the main cause of higher gas prices but really am hoping we can maintain the open thread without a shutdown.

Re: Gas Prices?
Just installed a dual tank setup in my 71 Suburban. I put 7 gallons in it and then drove to fill it up. At $4.69 a gallon for 91 it took 38 gallons and $190. That one hurt a bit

Let's just keep with the original theme of prices and affects since it's hard to talk about the oil industry without it involving politics, these days or any other days.

Re: Gas Prices?
So now we have Tim meeting Paul's standards.
I'm not sure gas prices are the biggest problem any more.

Re: Gas Prices?
gas last week was $1.46 a liter ($5.52 a gal)
then we had a massive flood after a foot of rain in 30 hrs, plus a bunch of snow melted off the surrounding mountains. ALL roads leading to our town were literally destroyed and food and gas ran out. our town was out of gas for 3 days, but i found one a-hole on the outskirts that had a bit of fuel left, and the money grubber was selling it for $1.65 a liter ($6.24 a gal) now go times $6.24 by the 40 gals in my crewcab......then i burned up half of it helping e-vac my buddy and his family. i got lucky, i'm right at the edge of the flood, him not so, his farm ended up 6-8 feet under water after the dike broke. we got him out as the valley was flooding. emergency personel weren't letting anyone into the flood, but they let me as they thought my truck might make it. i personally hope that this a-hole taking advantage of a disaster goes out of business after things go back to normal the guvment has put the southern half of BC on fuel rations, 8 gals a day till about dec 1 or 2. only good thing they did was force what little gas gets thru is mandate that it be sold at pre-flood prices... |

Re: Gas Prices?
Finally gas locally here has dropped below $3.00, as in $2.96 per for 87 octane ethanol. No real gas here in Podunk that I know of. Have to go over to the next town about 14 miles east. Have not been there for some time so no idea what real gas sells for there.

Re: Gas Prices?
Eh, there is no figuring out their up and down price changes. Used to be gas would go up just before a big travel event such as holidays then fall back a little bit just after. Now days, well like now, it's falling a bit before Thanksgiving rather than rising. We are at about $2.85 average here this week.
