Pain At The Pump As Gas Prices Rise 40%

It is nearly $4.00 a gallon down the shore. Makes the boat owners very unhappy.

$3.05 in ABQ yesterday. New Mexico insiders know and have reported in the newspapers that the oil companies have deliberately cut production on producing wells so they could cut costs by laying off workers and drive the prices up.

Around here, businesses are having trouble even findin people to work. Why is it different in NM?

I discovered my 2021 Ford F150 has no gas cap. Another engineering benefit???

Our car doesn’t have a lock on the cap per se. You can only push the door to access the cap if you have your keys beside it. Maybe yours is like that.

I also can’t lock the car from the passenger side if I don’t have my keys. Makes sense.

Now, back to topic. $1.45 to $1.55 per litre. It’s summer and tourist season.

The University of Calgary has discontinued its Bachelors program in oil & gas Engineering. Alberta used to be very rich because their oil & gas production.

My heart goes out to those that are commuting back and forth to work - I am very grateful to be retired. A full tank of gas last me a good while. I am also grateful that I can fill up my tank when needed.

Keep in mind today's vehicles are much more economical than in previous decades. Some manufactures will be phasing out V8 motors. Electric vehicles are growing in numbers. People working from home are impacting gasoline consumption.

I don't want to block it. I'm for anything that helps, but I do not want to become solely dependent on it either.
