How much is your local "Trump at the Pump Tax?"

Entertained? This is the craziest story you will ever hear. Fighter pilot ejected from his jet over the ocean at 700 mph, rescue beacon and survival suit trashed from the force, wingman low on fuel, broken neck, all 4 limbs compound fractures, bleeding out, drowning because the chute wouldn't unhook, hypothermic, barely survived and recovered. And he's a really good story teller.

we don't all live in the country of Louisiana

 

$3.22 at Costco in New Orleans, Louisiana
$5.34 at Costco where I live.

I have a feeling people make more money where I live. Gas money “is in the noise” I’ve heard someone tell me.

 

Neither do oui.

I was a foreign exchange student in Loosana a few times with my company though and....yes, I've stayed in a Holiday Inn Express.......

It's not a different country unto itself per-se, but rather a bunch of parishes flying along in a loose formation.

• “I’m a big believer in common sense — it’s just not very common these days.”
• “The only thing we’re going to accomplish by doing nothing is to give voters free time to watch bad TV.”
• “The left thinks all the people with bad ideas are on the right, while the right thinks all the people with bad ideas are on the left. Turns out, they’re both right!”

but we make a big deal out of it. it matters to the poor, and the rich don't give it a thought. it only matters to the pols if they think it affects voting.

 

Finally logged some gas receipts, and the past month at Costco has been a steady climb from @$3.50 to over $4 for a gallon.

 

NW montana Costco diesel at $4.99 today. We are heading up towing the 5th wheel into a campground in Fernie BC Canada. Thankfully the better ½ nagged me into refilling the jerry cans at "only" $4.69 LOL.
Costco regular is @ $4.14
Best price for no corn alcohol gas is $4.66
.

 

Last time I checked about a week ago diesel was $6.99 and gas was around $4.2x with a fair amount of variation.

 

Ouch! Lot of better uses for corn alcohol we can think of
