Gas prices?
- Thread starter MoodyBlues

I don't know why the gas prices in Kansas are so low. I theorize it's because the average income of the state is less than most. The prices seem to be set as high as possible in all states.

I really do not like saying things like this ... but ... I remember back in high school gas was 25¢ a gallon ! ! !
It is running from 3.19 cash price to 3.49 credit card price for unleaded here.
$3.59 here
Caught this when I drove by, gas went up another 20 cents $4.49 a gallon Cook county, Chicago suburbs
It went up twenty cents here as well. $3.79
Prices are going crazy again
They will likely level off and maybe drop back a bit after school starts and prime vacation time is over. Let's hope
I had to gas up my mowers today. Gas prices were back down to $3.59. School started...

I filled up the truck a couple of weeks ago before the prices started going up :
Gas prices have dropped again here. It was $3.58 today and was $3.59 yesterday.

LOL, all my grass is burned so I do not need gas for the mower or the weedeater. Wife's car needs it, it barely gets used so I am putting that off until they come down.

I don't think gas will ever go below $4 again where I live.
There's no competition here; it's follow the leader to see how high they can go.
The price of gas jumped twenty cents the first of the week. It didn't creep up, it jumped up. It's been the same price since, $3.79.
Driving home on Tuesday I bought gas in Kentucky and it was $3.69.
I guess it's all is relevant to different areas' economy. It still is mind boggling to see the same product vary so much from place to place. The cost to produce and transport can't be the driving difference.
I'm wondering if the upcoming UAW strike will have an effect on gas prices?
Like most every world event that has little to zero direct effect, an excuse to hike prices is always good play. We live in a greedy world.
It's almost comical that executives in management that are making hundreds of thousands of dollars say the hourly workers are making unreasonable monetary demands

This is why I mastered Kroger fuel points accumulation.
Was listening to GM CEO Mary Barra on the news this morning talking about the strike, and I thought the host said you make nearly 30 million last year, and I thought, did I hear that right? Yep, I did.
General Motors CEO Mary Barra made nearly $29 million in 2022. This amount is 362 times the median GM employee's paycheck, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings. 2 days ago

Yeah and she compares her salary against how well GM does for the year.
Try living in your blue collar worker shoes for a few years and see how you feel, Mary....

I listened to a striking worker complain 'cause he was only making 38 dollars a hour .... AND they want a 4 day work week and be paid for the 5th day ! WTF Willis, I will be glad to go stand at the assembly line in the air conditoning putting together cars for 38 dollars an hour ... and I will do it 5 days a week too ! ! !
I am living on a social security check that is not enough to buy gas for my vehicle and they are complaining ????
WTF is wrong with that picture ?
And they want a 40% pay increase. Sorry, get more realistic and we'll talk.
