Big jump in gas in midwest

[LilElf70]

50 cent jump in one day.

He sure is trying his best, daily, to destroy democracy and the American Dream. When is someone finally going to do something legal to stop him. Are we going to wait for a civil war? This is friggin insane!!!!

TRUMP!!!!!!!

1. I love the news that the red states are finally getting screwed too.

2. True story

I live in Indiana and it was 3.79 last weekend and by Tuesday it was 4.19, Wednesday 4.79, Thursday $4.99.

3. That's unbelievable

Nobody is steering the ship. How can any of this be legal? $1.20 increase in a week?

What's stopping them from doing this every week?

All the suffering and pain generated from an unauthorized war, just to serve his ego?

It must be a dream. NOT!!!!

8. TTBOMK the only way it's "illegal" is if the oil companies are caught colluding

And even then, it's tough to prove.

The reason they're spiking is likely because the US drastically increased crude EXPORTS two weeks ago, causing a big drawdown in US crude inventories (there was no corresponding large uptick in production, just what was exported went up, AND US imports did not rise correspondingly so the net was negative for US supplies).

US refineries are being outbid by Asian and European counterparts for our WTI (the fracked stuff, largely), and there's nothing stopping the US producers from selling the product to the highest bidders on the world market.

This is having the near-inevitable outcome of domestic prices rising.

4. Buckle up. There is no end in sight. The President says Iran has not yet suffered enough to make a deal.

He'll know when the time is right to make a deal, because he will feel it in his gut.

Meanwhile, he's got a ballroom and an arch to build. He'll get back to the Iran thing when it feels right to him.

5. $4.99 in West Michigan

And it's all people are talking about.

6. I couldn't bring myself to look when I drove past the station today.

I had to go to the grocery store though, and as I stopped to pay my respects to the beef, I noticed the price of a couple of steaks we might have had during normal times. $50 for the 2 of them. I ended up buying 1 smaller, cheaper cut for stir fry.

7. 5 bucks in Detroit!

9. From Wednesday afternoon to this morning, .80 jump across the board

Literally every station.

11. Average gas prices in Minnesota now...

over $4.00/gal. How high will it go?

12. But the war is over? Right?

He said so himself. Wait..... Another lie? No shit, another lie?

They'll do anything to keep Congress out of his little hissy fit with this illegal war.

13. When midwestern fuel draws even with the West Coast

The real whining will begin.

14. Last Thursday I had a doctor's appointment. Gas was $3.549.

I had another appointment today. When we left at 12:30 gas was $3.999. Coming home, just before 2PM, gas was $4.049. As we were looking at the sign it changed to $4.149.😳

Thanks, Donnie!

15. $4.99 up in here

16. I don't have a car but..

I did a search, and the lowest gas price is at the new Sheetz at $4.17. I’m in west/central Montco. PA. You would think this would be a big story, but we all know most of the mainstream media turns a blind eye to Trump and other Repukes.

17. I'm getting a little tired

of throwing out all these words, like insane, illegal, corrupt administration, etc and it feels like water on a ducks back. Nothing EVER happens.

Here's another one........ BULLSHIT Action needs to be taken
