I drove past a couple stations that bumped up to $4.00 today, then there was one that was still at $3.50 so I stopped and filled up the half tank. 

Drove past a station that was at 4.99 this morning stopped at one that was still 4.29 and filled up. $1.50 increase in 9 days, thanks a lot.

The average American is paying an extra $80/mo for gasoline now. With 40,000,000 drivers taxpayers are paying $3,200,000,000 per month for this war.  Winning!

Our Mach E is sooooo cheap to drive...literally like buying $1/gal gas...thanks to our crazy cheap power-program due to having an e-car...🤣( my wife LOVES that car).

My F150 Hybrid, which I've been driving a bit nicer as of late...getting 23-25 mpg...let an e-truck charge off of my 240 plug the other day: he got 20% charge in that thing real quick, too! NICE! (Smart dude...travels with all his adapters! Tried to give me money...pfffft...it was simply cool to charge someone from my truck!!!) Then, got 21 mpg last week towing the new Mustang...must be 5,500 pounds car/trailer...NICE! Oh, and, filled up in Nevada for $3.99/gal...that was less painful than at home...especially at 30+ gallons! 🤪

Anyhoo...it's not a bad time to have an e-vehicle. Hell, I'm even riding my e-bikes more! 

Can't wait for my Slate "Old School Bronco Pick-up!"🤣

It seems some people would prefer to have a nuke dropped on their head than temporarily pay a little more for fuel. I wonder why none of them  pitched a bitch when the previous administration closed the pipeline and fuel prices shot up accordingly?

Didn't we take care of that problem in June of 2025 though?

A couple of quotes from the Donald on June 21, 2025 are below:

"Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."

"It was my great honor to destroy all nuclear facilities & capability, and then, stop the war!"

Chance is a woods guy and a perfectionist. Tearing the end off a grip leaning his bike against a douglas fir just isn't acceptable.

Looks sano to me by the way.

Cheapest gas over here is 4.97 with the Wa. state ave at 5.56

I get the feeling Donald is sick of hearing about Iran every other year with either this nuclear crap or sponsoring terrorism somewhere in the world.

Instead of just picking the wart off and having it grow back he wants to take a cigarette lighter to it in hopes that fresh skin will grow back. I.E....new leadership instead of these radical Islamists they keep getting to run their country.

Is this what you're referring to? If not and you're calling out Keystone or Line 5, I don't see anything backing that prices "shot up" as a result. Maybe I'm missing another though.

Victor Davis Hanson made a distinction between the recent forever wars and what Trump is doing to Iran. We put boots on the ground in those countries. Blew a bunch of shit up that had to be rebuilt. Vic thinks Trump will just lay siege so to speak to Iran. Wait them out with tactical strikes until they give up.

I hope that's the way this ends anyways...

Different leadership that is more west friendly. Do you think there is any hope of this?

Some say there is a silent majority that is in Iran. Perhaps it is just the rich elite and the majority is on the fence with the poorer classes supporting the heavy hand of the religious types.

I could totally believe there’s a silent majority there given their history for the past forever. Speak out against the regime you die. Change is in the air. Literally in the air in the form of missiles.

I think it could work but I don't think it will work. I'm going to write some thoughts on the war in other thread started by toolmaker later.

Toxic Ohio environment coupled with piss poor attitudes that brought some of your ilk to be forced into living there. You’ve been gobbling it up for a while now and it shows. Bon appetit!
