Every Costco I have been to and most were in SoCal the lines were huge at the pumps during high price periods. How long is your typical wait?

None as long as you go to the left side of the pump. Maybe 5 minutes is you go to the right of the pump.

Saw an article just recently that said about 40 minutes was average.

All I know is that when we've gotten near it, we weren't really near it yet.

For $0.20 per gallon, even running on fumes, 40 minutes plus extra mileage just isn't worth the $3.50 savings.
I thank God that I have the luxury of being able to say that.
My heart bleeds for those who are fully dependent on Social Security.

please explain why you said during Biden regime, the most barrels have been pumped in USA ever ... even more than Trump?



also explain how average gasoline prices rising 10% in the last month relates to the 'historic economic boom' under Biden regime.



do you have air conditioning? 100 degree weather coming to Chicago this week due to catastrophic climate disruption .... or June weather.

Why do I have to explain this. We are talking about barrels per day.you saw the chart. Believe it or not. I really don’t care.

also explain how average gasoline prices rising 10% in the last month relates to the 'historic economic boom' under Biden regime.

Gasoline prices are just one part of the economy. For the four quarters Biden has been in office, GDP WENT UP 6.7, 2.3, 6.9 and don 1.5. The number of jobs went up over 8,000,000. Average hourly earnings are up $2.04. Personally, my Social Security and pension went up over $180 a month this year. That is more than enough to offset any increase in gas prices.

They just put a new air conditioner in my apartment. At no cost to me. I may have to wear a coat tomorrow.

If government runs inefficiently they just raise the debt and or raise taxes.
If a business is run inefficiently and unless they have a monopoly a price raise will cause their competition to start taking their customers, and that begins their death spiral.

This is reality...which is anathema to Liberals.

Glad I don't drive, but have to pay for everything that is brought to the stores & restaurants. Favorite local pizza place closed down with no warning.

Just 15 days later, thought I'd update. Same BP station. Regular Unleaded now 6.09 per gallon. Ultimate now 6.79.

I forgot, you’d just let every corporation do whatever they like.

It’s the big bad democrats holding them back from greatness.

On second thought, you’re right.

In true capitalism, the oil giants wouldn’t get tens of billions in subsidies every year.

It's the democrats interfering with the market to destroy the oil industry, as JOE BIDEN PROMISED TO DO DURING THE CAMPAIGN that are causing the high prices.

Quit you fucking trolling already.
