WE DID IT

I am in a very strange area. Gas prices have been very stubborn in my city specifically and I am not sure why... if I go 10 miles in any direction outside of my city, prices are 20, 30, 40 cents cheaper. It has been like this for quite a while now. Before this started, we were only 3.85 per gallon and in the city i work in about 20 miles away it was 50 cents cheaper.

Shoot. Where I live, we will put $3.00 in the tank at a higher priced station and fill up at one of the cheaper places. A dolla's a dolla

Appears that Leftwingtom has lost all interest in posting the daily gas prices.

While Murphy’s express or Walmart is competing for lowest price by about 20-30 cheaper in areas 15-20 miles away from me.

Still ranging $3.41-$3.79 around me, $3.09-$3.24 further away.

And im in a 50-50 populated, lower middle class suburb. Price gouging out the azz.

Probably won’t get back below $2.50 before Jan or Feb, even if ceasefire remains.

I will give Trump credit when he does something good, and I'm about to link to something good he's doing.

Trump orders Justice Department to investigate oil companies over high gas prices

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/24...n-00973453

Not that I think there's going to be any actual serious investigations or punishments, and obviously gas prices always rise far faster than they fall using the bully pulpit of the Presidency to pressure the oil companies to not slow roll price decreases is a good thing and I'm glad he's doing it.

Again, if the same entity owns most, if not all of the stations in a given immediate location, they control the price. This is the case in a lot more places than people are aware of. The more competition, the lower the price will be.

Only to a certain point. The vast majority of gas price, between 85-90% is driven by all the costs before it reaches the gas stations themselves. It's not that competition can't lower the prices some, but there's a limit and most gas stations are not capable of selling gas at a massive loss.

He is waiting on the loons to tell him to get back to talking about the price of ground beef or eggs.

$3.13 on my corner this morning.

$2.99? Dang, I'm jealous. We're still hanging at $3.45.

Unfortunately, I still recall when gas was $1.70 in November at the end of Trump's first term.

AND...I still recall when gas was 30 cents a gallon when I first started driving...in 1962.

Of course, I also recall when bread was 10 cents a loaf.

I remember when a pack of smokes was .25, coke was a nickel and a candy bar was a nickel.

You reminded me. When I was a kid, I used to ride my bike to the Bristol Theater on Summer Avenue in Memphis to watch a movie by myself.

For a quarter (my weekly allowance for cutting the grass and doing other chores at home), I could pay the admission, and buy a coke and a box of popcorn.

There was a Theater, I think it was called the Lamar Theater. Mom and Dad would give me and my other two brothers a quarter on Saturday morning. We would walk there and with a quarter you could get in and have enough for popcorn and a coke. Good times

My parents used to get into the movies with a bottle cap.

Gas prices continue to decline in my area per AAA and WBIR.

Current: $3.44 per gallon
Week ago: $3.46 per gallon
2022 peak under Biden: $5.16 per gallon (adjusted for inflation)

Current in deep blue LA: $5.54 per gallon

So we were the same. Which means we're not that far apart in age. Sorry for you, lol.

You're old enough to be my big brother. The year range for the quarter to get in the movie place would have been 1961 or 62.

Yeah, I was too old by then. My $.25 movie/food/drink days were from about 1953 through 1959. I was driving in 1962, lol.

Dang, I have had a drivers license for 64 years now. And I'm about to take that DL and drive all over the country with it in an RV. Tell me that in 1962, and I would have thought you were a candidate for an insane asylum.

you know the board is 'expecting' a play-by-play so we can ALL enjoy the vicarious experience in "Truman" fashion ...

IMO, that's a heck of a way to write that final chapter ... most never get to the point of such in achievability ... #RockOnTrips

For those few who might be genuinely interested, I will be happy to do a play-by-play. I should have plenty of time to document my travels. No schedule, no time crunch.

When my house sells and closes it won't take long to get an RV, b/c I already know what I want. Then a couple of short test runs, and off I go.

Probably headed to Arizona and Utah first. Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest and Sedona in Arizona, then the Mighty 5 in Utah.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb by stating it would easily be more entertaining than 99% of the other day-to-day bs on this board...
