After Brandon's speech, I would guess it will hit $8 here. Since he has been in office, it has gone from $1.79 to $3.59 here.
So stupid to give out the equivalent of a one or two days supply of oil and then we'll have to replenish the supply at what price, simply for a soon to be forgotten feel good moment?The sanctions that were announced today are really more for political show than anything. The oil companies here in the U.S. had already stopped accepting Russian oil over a week ago. In other words, they've been self-sanctioning already nearly since the war began. The governments sanctions have just made it law. The reason Shell got blasted in the media is because they were the only ones still buying Russian oil. That's why the prices are already up at the pumps prior to the sanctioning because it's already impacting supply here in the U.S. It's already been to the point that the off loaders at the ports wouldn't even touch the Russian ships even if the oil company said they would take the oil. Again, all prior to any government sanctions. He just wants you to believe that he has any kind of control over this when actuality he has very little impact on fuel prices. Even releasing oil from the U.S. oil reserves will have very little to no impact on the cost of gas and diesel.
I don't disagree with the sentiment that gas and diesel will continue to rise but it will have more to do with the media hype, oil speculation in the future's market, the greed of the oil companies capitalizing on a panicked market, and the idiots who will start to hoard rather than any real shortage.
What ya got under the hood a 426 Hemi Wedge with 11.5:1 and a cross ram?Was $3.99 for regular when I filled up Sunday. Driving home today I saw it was $4.39 to $4.69 depending on what gas station. Not sure how high it will go but it’s gonna go higher for sure. I run super in my van so that’s just gonna be an extra kick in the nutz for sure.

These days sniffers and computers adjust the timing and fuel make it happner to whatever octain you put in em.
Half million miles. Super makes a difference.
I ran a tank I was super through my old 73 stepside. The idle appeared to be a tad smoother. That of course had a Quadrajet on it and no computer.lf million miles. Super makes a difference.

Tried it in my throttle bodied S10 and I couldn't tell any difference.
That looks to be about $8 difference per fill up. Notta gonna happen with me.
I like a man with a plan.I figure the money I save by drinkin cheap beer makes up for the extra I spend in gas.
