tbh these gas prices really dont have any noticeable effect on life
YET THIS POST
every $1 per barrel rise in oil decreases U.S. GDP by $100 billion per year and every 1 cent increase in gasoline decreases U.S. consumer disposable income by about $600 million per year.
I saw $2.99 at 2 thug stations on the way home from work today.
You're another Oil Thug, aren't you? :biggrin:

I don't know, what does she do?
You would think by the way defends the Oil Thug Industry must somehow personally benefit from the price gouging.
"Defending the oil thug industry" means pointing out your blatant lies and inaccuracies, Dave?
The thugs at those stations work for big oil....those bastards!Stations are not the Thugs.
Get your Thugging straight if you are going to use the term.
Did it drop 30 or 40 cents overnight???
Is that supposed to be cheap?
No, but it didn't go up 30 or 40 cents over the weekend either and it is nowhere near any of your ludicrous "predictions" from the past. What was it -- $10/gal of gas and $5/gal of milk? Or was it the reverse? You've made so many ridiculous "predictions" that I can't keep your lunacy straight.
The midwest is fucked on gas prices, period. Spike up $0.30 to $0.40 in one day and then trickle down over the next two to three weeks just to do it all over again (as your graph shows). Lexington follows this pattern precisely.
Let's throw in crude oil prices and look at Indy for one year.
Looks like the bottom has fallen out of crude yet Indy is on a slight tick upward. Not $5.00 but not following crude for the last few months.
Indy still does not believe you or I about the 30 and 40 cents price hikes overnight.
He must never get outside and has someone else fill his gas tank for him.
Yet, here you are as always

No one believes you because you're dishonest, almost always omit key facts, and have reading comprehension issues. I'm not sure I was the one that coined the term "McOWNED," but it sure is a fitting term.
I filled up for around $3.30 on Saturday on may way to go hiking. You keep moaning about these sudden increases but yet, ignore all the drops. If these price hikes were so large and so consistent, why aren't we at $5 or $6 per gallon by now? What's your excuse?
Gas going up over a holiday or towards the weekend is no big secret, just like I mentioned that the hotel rooms around Munich triple around Oktoberfest, rooms around Speedway go up around the Indy 500, and room prices go up wherever the Super Bowl is held.
And BTW, it is really cute of you to pretend to be so interested in Indy gas prices. You were pissing and moaning about gas prices long before you polluted my city with your presence.
Show me a drop of 30 or 40 cents overnight.
I don't need to show you a 30 or 40 cent drop overnight. Where did I claim that gas never spiked 30 or 40 cents? There's that lack of reading comprehension I pointed out.
What I *AM* claiming is that your ridiculous predictions over the years with respect to gas prices have generally been absurd and flat-out wrong.
A couple of weeks ago, you were screaming about $4/gal gas and when I pointed out that I had paid $3.48 (and it subsequently went to $3.54 or something) you claimed it was "toward" $4.
Did it ever hit $4? No? I thought not, but since $3.54 was more than halfway between $3 and $4, the usual Dave McOwned gas alarmist posts started about gas hitting $4 in the near future. So I guess, using your logic, we can say that there is no cause for alarm since gas is in the $3.1x to $3.2x range and therefore, is "towards" $3/gal.
Yes, gas around $3.30 range is towards $3.
Gas was $3.65 to $3.69 here. Why do you deny that is towards $4?
You show a small glimmer of math comprehension when less than 50 cents but when over 50 you have zero ability to understand, very odd.
I put hard cold $50 cash for all to see on here and you ducked and hid because you were MCOWNED yet again.
But you keep coming back for more. :biggrin:
There's that inexact (and incorrect) terminology again. $3.69 is not "towards" $4 At All.
I didn't need to drive all the way up to the ghetto where you live. It was conclusively proven that 1) You were shifting goalposts and 2) Another poster posted gas prices which were on the north side of Indianapolis and proved you wrong. It's as if you can't even help but McOWNing yourself.
