I just paid $6.08 at a Shell in Tampa, FL.

Highest I've ever seen it here in my life (been driving since 1998).

You guys are making me feel so freaking old. I remember as a kid sitting for an hour in long gas lines with my dad growing up in LA. Got my license in 1984 and remember blasting AC/DC and Led Zeppelin in my 1974 VW Rabbit

Usually, high gas prices even in the short term really affects new car sales. Any updates on EV sales because of gas prices?

Sam's $3.69. Up from $3.63.

Very small price to pay to guard against Iran acquiring nuclear weapons and medium to long range missiles capable of delivering same... as well as the pursuant rush of ME neighbors to do the same. Not to mention the price of a detonation in America. Death to America isn't simply a mindless cheerleading chant.. it's a guiding principle of a lunatic terrorist regime.

Iran still has long range missiles, has destroyed all the US bases in the GCC countries, still has the ability to hit oil and gas infrastructure in all the Arab countries, now controls the flow in the Straight and has a fully intact military. Yeah, I call that victory 🤣

Car sales overall are down EV and ICE. The economy is sputtering along. Tesla has the EV advantage due to size. Everyone else is struggling. Oddly Toyota did okay so far.

Also throwing a $80,000 solution to a $400 a month possible temporary problem, isn't a solution. I just don't see people wanting to buy cars with this uneasy economy and billionaires might fight over a Ferrari but they won't buy or fight over a Tesla or Camry. In other words the people who buy in bulk won't be buying. And this is a GLOBAL problem.

As a star college athlete in the 1990s, he probably skipped ALL classes...

Shaq is worth over 500 million dollars. He owns and invests in a vast portfolio of businesses. On top of that he is extremely generous. He’s known to show up at wal-marts and buy families food, he’s bought cars for people etc etc. There are countless stories told by people on Instagram and Youtube.

He also doesn’t have 14 kids by 8 baby mommas

That we know of

I have no doubt he's a generous guy, and helps lots of people. But that segment tells me he's pretty brain dead. You can be not so bright and still a super generous guy

I was curious how much I paid more this past month... about a little over 600 miles driven, 26.8 gal burned. Google says gas went up approximately $0.34–$0.46/gal. So... I paid about $10 more last month or a little less than a lunch item. I guess if I eat out one time less a month, I should be able to survive.
