I don’t think this thread is going to impact the election.

Still over 3 bucks here.

So, posting what is actual happening in someone’s area is somehow supporting the Rs?

Every time someone posts anything that warrants less than atomic tumescence, I get an alert on my phone. It sounds like an Amber Alert funneled through a vampire bat. This morning, I was at the gym on the arc trainer when it went off and everyone suddenly looked at their phones. Someone sent a dumbbell through the front plate glass window they were so startled.

I think the Wisconsin race shifted a point in the wrong direction.

I just assumed everyone in America was getting these.

Huh.

Prices at the station can depend a lot on regional distributors.

And that was at the station where the price was cheapest. It’s up over $4 at other stations. Let’s see if anything happens after Tues. I’m just going to be very judicious about what I spend everywhere.

DeSantis pulled a little ruse where he dropped their 25cent state tax on gas, but it is going back on this week. That will make it appear that costs are rising again.
Nationwide, the trend is still downward, and national
averages are about 10-15% above what they were in 2020.

Coincidence, I think not. Gas has been dropping steadily here in KY, while my friend in Mich. Said gas went up 40 cents the last few days.
