Back in the early 70's, I was one of those guys. Always took longer to clean the windshield when the skirts were short.
It all goes back to the very first day of this presidency and that one EO that killed the Keystone pipeline which among the completed sections was delivering 1 million barrels of oil each day. That was roughly half of our total daily input to refineries. That is the primary reason for high diesel prices and as you are aware, diesel trucks deliver groceries and consumer goods to stores, gasoline and diesel to stations, mail to post offices, heating oil for homes, and diesel for agricultural, construction, and manufacturing purposes. And ahead of the trucks, railroads use tremendous quantities of diesel to move raw materials to manufacturers and finished consumer goods to warehouses. And not to forget that petrochemicals from the refining process are necessary for making plastics, and polymers, especially those used for automotive purposes like these new electric vehicles and all sorts of additives to just about everything that we use or consume. All wind and solar manufacturing are dependent upon fossil fuels. I don't believe that the leadership really understood the total ramifications of that EO and how far-reaching it really is. Most of this inflation traces back to this EO.
Me as well but that was the price when that station closed down. I remember paying .57¢/Gal when I first started driving in 1976
Dad would go Starvin Marvin to get the cheapest price and it was a measley .56 to .58 per gallon.
I quit smoking when cigarettes got to .75 cents a pack....One of the best things I ever did
