Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Some financial lady on Fox this morning said she expects gas to be an AVERAGE of $6.00 a gallon by Labor day. I paid $4.13 yesterday with a discount card from the wholesale store BJ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I've taken to riding the Harley to work. It gets nearly 50 mpg, a significantly better mileage than even my Honda CR-V. The Chevy 3500 hasn't been out of the driveway but once in the last month. And, my credit union announced yesterday that after no rate increases in almost 40 years, my credit card APR will go up 3% in July. I don't use it much, and will use it even less from now on. Write that down as bona fide emergencies only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grit my teeth and pay in full each month. The Credit union interest rates are considerably lower than our primary bank. We dropped a couple of cards when the banks went "woke" and joined the Credit Union - a good move! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Devil Dale Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 If the price keeps climbing, gasoline will be as expensive a bottled drinking water. Last week I saw a convenience store price of $1.79 for a 12 oz bottle. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard rates are still lower than other banks. Even the credit card rate is actually lower than competing commercial banks, but as of 7/22/22, it will be 3% higher than today.

Jessey Hightower Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 53 gallons diesel in the pickup yesterday. $6.99 gal. At least we raise our own beef, lamb and pork. Grow most of our produce and raise chickens. I wonder if Brandon has ever done an honest days work in his life. When was the last time he paid for fuel or even actually drove himself somewhere. Out of touch politicians need to go. If you voted for him I hope youre happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 What is sad is that the Biden administration is doing this intentionally to advance their green agenda and force people to buy electric cars. So far they have refused to answer where the electricity is going to come from or address the environmental damage that will be caused by the mega large-scale mining that will be required to dig up the rare earth metals necessary for the batteries.

Long Fingers, SASS#56813 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 What’s the number it has to get to before we start seeing social breakdowns?? $6,$7 per gallon National average, are we already there at $5 and just a matter of time? I have a feeling it could get really ugly in the next few months. LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
