    The cheapest here is $4.699/gal unless you have some sort of discount.

    I have two trips to Denver in the next two weekends. That will be about 1,400 miles of driving right there.

    Returning home from a 500 mi round trip:
    • Dodge Charger - made a lot of racket so I kick FSD off (it doesn’t care) and I followed him close (trivial in my bottom trim Tesla.) Smiling all the time, he was burning quarters to my nickels.
    • Rolling coal pickup - again burning quarters to my nickels and stinking up everyone on the road.
    One side effect of FSD is you can’t tease it into wasting kWh. But I sometimes take a secret pleasure to help the stupid pursue their folly: Schadenfreude.

    Uhp, crawled up another dime past national average here on Maui for bathwater, @$5.62 per.

    My Texaco's midgrade holds at $5.99, $0.20 more than others hock it, in that town. Then again, I will not put non-Top-Tier fuel in the 5G, and can afford mid-$30s for 5 gals, twice a month (y)

    Down a dime today at my closest grocery-chain stations (non-Top-Tier), down a penny at the nearest Costco (which is Top Tier).

    Nearly all my local errands are within my PHEV's all-EV range, so gas purchases are linked only to road trips, and generally cheaper than local prices.

    So they go roll coal to prove it.
    Gas is up, never saw it this high. Most are over $6 for regular and the cheap stations too.

    No, I just interested in the Arch of Trump, the billion dollar ballroom, and the non-reflecting swimming pool.

    Pay the insurectionist and the convicted criminals so they are financed to do it again.

    Then, I'll pardon them again.

    FORM (Fuel & Oil Refresh Mode) on our plugin minivan runs after ~5 months until either 4+ gallons are added or when fuel tank drops to ⅛ tank remaining.
    Having refueled w/ cheap gas in January means FORM kicks in around 12 more days.
    FORM avoidance hacks;

    Disconnect 12v battery
    or
    Siphon 4 gallons then re-add
    or
    Scheduled 4hr trip to Happy Cove, Lake Coeur d'Alene in 10 days.

    Good to have alternatives

    Isn't "anti-semitism" a common trope and dog-whistle to excuse the worst atrocities in the world?

    This pic was taken pre-AI, it's real, pictures don't lie.

    Is this what you're defending Fuzzy?

    Weuuuuuu - scary ...... & evidently conspiratorial proof!
    Maybe a few con-trails sniffed too many?
    LOL
    Just for jolly's, here's a screenshot answer that Grok gave for percentages of multi-billionaires;

    Screenshot_20260522_103914_Grok.jpg

    so - maybe that begs the question, how come the remaining 91% aren't in charge of the world.

    or is this just simple Envy of any ethnicity with tons of dough

    Your numbers don't matter if they own the big banks, big media, all of congress, and Hollywood.

    It's amazing how Boomers support open Satanists just based on the propaganda they've been fed. Luckily they are the last generation that have fallen for it. Everyone else is waking up thank God.

    Is Epstein on your favorites list along with the Rothschilds? Does your bias let you look the other way when it comes to child trafficking?

    Your post proves my point. As of 2026, the world's Jewish population was estimated at 16.5 million, which is 0.2% of the 8.28 billion worldwide population.

    So they are .2% of world population but are also 9.1% of the Billionaires. So they are greedier and more manipulative than anyone else and it's not even close. And don't tell me it's because they are smarter, Israel IQ ranks 51st in the countries of the world. And the Rothschilds are not even on the Billionaires list, they are in the Trillions. But it's not the wealth by itself, it's the wealth combined with evil.
