Four fucking twenty-five fucking cents a fucking gallon

For a 12 gallon fill, fifty-one fucking dollars. Two months ago it was just north of half that amount.

The brain dead, fucking MAGAT zombies just shrug their shoulders and smirk saying, “Oh, well,” while they wailed and gnashed their teeth when gas prices under President Biden peaked at $3.40.

Fuck these motherfuckers, I hope they have to sell grandma’s locket to buy a can of cat food for their one and only meal.

Note: this is Costco, normally the least expensive gas in the area, elsewhere in the vicinity it’s topping $4.50.

Are depressed compared to the overall economy, so gas is scaled.

Where no tax is applied anywhere except for sales and property ones. That and strict emission control mixtures are a fucking afterthought.

The lying liar lied to everyone. Gas is definitely NOT cheaper.

It’s almost $6 a gal in many west coast cities, and it’s $2.19 a litre (so almost $8/gal in US$) in BC, and that’s with the gas tax suspended.

Cry me a fucking River

All because of the demented Id of one single, solitary man.

I would never let the price of gas determine where I live, though. It's my several friends who drive for a living that I feel for. I'll just drive less until these idiots are GONE, but they have to pay through the nose.

The Speedway station just 2 miles from there on US 40 had it for 3.93.

Pretty sure there’s a little price gouging going on.

That Speedway station price is for E85. I normally see it for about a buck less a gallon.

I’ve been boycotting Speedway for their other c-store price gouging shenanigans.

Generally, I’ve noticed that the in-town and east side gas prices are cheaper than the prices out by the interstate.
