    Seafoam works pretty good too.

    I've used gas that was 10 years old (mixed with fresh gas)

    You misspelled "criminal". An avowed communist with over a dozen visits to Castro's Cuba.

    Pratt breaks it down in detail

    Enjoy your 15 minute city, and eat your bugs.

    I'm sorry, can somebody please translate that?

    The one part of that I think I know what it means is "Pratt" which is presumably "Spencer Pratt", who is running for Mayor of LA against Bass (and others) and not "Chris Pratt" the actor, or any of the thousands of other people with that name. S.P. calls Bass a communist frequently, also "Karen Basura", which the other third graders probably think is clever. I'm sure the President would thinks it is a knee slapper, since he uses the same sort of name mangling technique. Or maybe not, his grasp of Spanish is nil so he wouldn't understand the pun.

    I live in LA county, but not LA the city, so I have not been paying very much attention to their elections.

    Not exactly - but Bill Gates was one of the globalists quoted as feeding on bugs so the world wouldn't have as many issues with hunger.

    The F350-450-550 drivers laugh at you, so there is no end to it. “They’re pulling a fifth wheel with a little F250. Hahahaha” Now, the Pope says the meek shall inherit the earth, and finally 47 tells the Pope to stay in his lane.

    That's what a king does, instead of a religious leader.

    He used his money to help eradicate River blindness, a globalist for the win. Not something magas care about since never heard ONE against closing USAID, even taking the name off the buildings. How sick is that.

    Back to the facts on rising fuel prices.

    This video explains how the current prices are based on the fuel that was in transit before the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.



    After the current supply is used up, the price is bound to rise.

    Thanks for adding a summary! Even faster than washing it through an AI.

    You might not be able to fill up at any price.

    When in 1979, a friend of mine who could get expensive gas in San Diego could not be guaranteed to get it for the return trip, if he visited Los Angeles some 120 miles away.

    With the gas mileage of cars in that era being so low, the round trip could not be completed on one tank.

    He could not even buy a five gallon gas can. They were sold out months before.

    I remember trying to order a 5 gallon Jerry can from J.C. Whitney. T h ey had none,

    That's why I have a number of them for emergencies or similar situations.

    If memory serves, most in SoCal at the time had alternating fueling days turning on odd or even license plates-last digit. Fortunately our Econoline van was tagged w/ commercial plates allowing us to gas up any day.

    California prices back then we're so different from other states. But today under governor newsome?

    All that difference since 2019 when Gavin came into office? Round off regular to $6 for the 47 disaster in chief. And he says he isn't interested in what we pay. Maga repeats, “it isn’t interesting what we pay now.”
    Of course $6 is low, my Shell in town near me is $6.79. Or was it $6.99. Maybe today we see $7.

    that..... & attempting to sell THEIR OWN product - off of USA Petro DOLLARS? We can't have that happening now, right? Imagine what the USA dollar would be worth - when that happens.
