The certain groceries you buy are marked up to make up for it and then some, but it makes folks feel better.


Sometimes yes !! You do have to watch out for that !!

It takes a little figuring out each week to see what is the best stuff to purchase. For a lot of people it might not work but, I check out the advertisement on line each week on Wednesday when it come out and then check the prices compared to other sources.

You also have to decide if you can or want that item ! Sometimes you can save on gas if you purchase things like 4 boxes of cereal. I can't eat 4 boxes of cereal before it gets stale.

It takes me a little time on computer each week to do some checking but, then again it takes me a little time on computer each week to check this site too.

I filled up on the way home from the cottage yesterday because the gas is much cheaper near the city.

It was the equivalent of US$5.60 /US gallon for regular, unfortunately my beast requires premium which was US$6.84 / US gallon.

They're in bed with the poor big AG companies, poor big food processors, poor big building materials companies, poor big auto manufacturers, and poor big everyone else.

This thread is comical. Taking into account state and local gas taxes are different everywhere, and the price per gallon is also affected by shipping costs from refinery to retailer and other factors like individual state regulations, it tells you nothing.

They certainly had it bad in 2020.

In 2021, Exxon Mobil made a record profit of $23 billion. But the profits gained came after it lost $22.4 billion in 2020 because of the pandemic.

Another factor is the possibility of shortages as Oil Companies are pressured by Shareholders (If you have a 401K it's possible "you are one of them") to pass on profits rather than investing in drilling and more production.

Gas prices around me have dropped slightly but if demand keeps rising, and no more production comes to market, as the old saying goes "We ain't seen nuthin yet".

Want to get a real shock? Check out these predictions: (Warning- Be sure you are wearing your Depends before reading the price projections starting 3 years from now. There's a good reason Gas Stations are now changing their pumps so they can show more than $9.999/gallon prices.)

All I can say is that at least one of my vehicles is a Plug-in Hybrid and my annual gas purchases for it have averaged <5 gallons per year since I bought it. Sadly, it can't tow my trailer but at least I can save up enough to buy gas for a few local camping trips a year when prices hit 2025 projections.
