If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

I've learned.....if it drops below $3.00 you better get gas quick bc it's going up the next day.....just like a yo-yo.
It's BS!!!
$2.97 yesterday......$3.19 today.
Couple days it'll drop below $3.00 then the next next day it $3.19 or $3.29....
Over and over....

It baffles me how the price of a pair of jeans or a can of peas will stay the same for months, but gas... ::shrug::
Take care and God bless,

Oil is a commodity like soybeans, wheat, etc. affected by supply and demand, weather, geopolitics, transportation costs (is the oil from West Texas,Canada, Alaska, or Saudi Arabia or ??), refinery costs (light crude vs heavy crude, etc), commodity speculation, and so on. In other words, it’s complicated. Much more so than a pair of jeans. The Houthis haven’t bombed a tanker ship full of cotton - yet.

Filled up my wife’s car yesterday, 87 octane for $2.45. Gas Buddy app says it’s $2.44 today at that same station. It was up around $2.90 a couple weeks ago when they changed to the summer blend of gas, but it went back down fairly quick.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
