Midwest Gasoline to Spike $0.50-$1.00 Per gallon

[WM75Guy]

Testing the highs from a year ago of $92. Over $10 in the last 3 weeks. Forecast for $100 by year end is looking pretty good.

Nice. Never happen here. Our 'illustrious' governor is too cheap and too crooked to worry about the citizens who elected her (I didn't).

There are multiple issues pushing gasoline prices higher. Refinery problems, oil price increases, anti petroleum policies, war, drilling cutbacks, demand, speculation, taxes. I'm sure I've missed some.

You forgot greed. Greedy oil companies net record profits while gasoline prices skyrocket.

Can explain how that works?

Employer can and will discriminate where they can but do it quietly. That round file is always available for employer use. I do the same with my rentals actually. You can call it discrimination or whatever you want to term it.

I call it being smart.

Bet they don't post on social media that they discriminate.

I’m sure that Saudi Arabia and Russia jointly announcing they were going to cut back production didn’t have anything to do with worldwide supply and pricing. Nor the willingness of the US companies to export more to fill demand and capture the higher prices.

"Drilling cutbacks" covers Saudi and Russia. When you say export, are you talking oil or gasoline. Keep in mind the title of the thread, Midwest gasoline which points me toward refineries.

I'm sure that don't but that only applies to my rentals, which are and have been rented for at least 5 years to the same tenants, who are actually gainfully employed and not sucking on the gummit teat. They pay on time and abide by my rental agreement. Good to go in that respect and I DO NOT discriminate in any way when hiring employees to work in my machine and fab shop, but then they must be skilled in the trade or I'm not interested. I'm 100% color and ethnicity blind. In fact I have one employee who is Armenian and he's very astute in the trades and is a total self starter that really needs no oversight which is fine with me, because I'm a terrible boss anyway. Sometimes, he's a bit hard to understand, his English isn't top shelf, but I don't care. He gets it done and done right the first time.

Selective hiring practices aren’t discriminatory. They just keep the riffraff out.

But I think we got a little off topic.
I filled the Cobra up Sunday. Supreme was $6 a gallon in So Cal

Time to buy that new EV you’ve been eyeing. Tax incentives, no mileage user fees, lower insurance costs (notice h.o. Policies are now asking about solar and battery storage), drive themselves and refill for free. Why won’t you jump on their bandwagon?
