$1.39 for gas here local just across the line in VA. $2.19 for Diesel

God Bless, Louis

One station offering $1.29 in Allen, Texas. Seems like a steal. You can use their toilet paper, BBQ next door, walking distance from Cabela's.

Sounds like a vacation spot. I saw on the funny Friday that said, now we have good gas prices + can't go anywhere.

$1.11 cents a gallon Here in Northern lower Michigan But 100 miles south it is a $1.42 cents a gallon

1.63 northwest Wis. normally a few cents cheaper south of here.

Here in Jacksonville, FL the least expensive I've seen is $1.65 for regular, down from $2.39 a few weeks ago. The average in the area seems to be $1.79.

And you have to look around a little to get that price.

$1.49 at Costco

But end of day gas is kind of irrelevant - 2-3 percent of household income is spent on gas. Less and less over time. Smaller and smaller function of automobile cost over life of auto is gas.

I remember seeing an article in Time magazine in the mid-60s that said that in the future that gas could very well get up to .60 cents a gallon. It was hard to believe.

Cheapest gas in the world is in Venezuela.

When I left Venezuela in 2003 gas was about $0.10 a gallon. Today it is essentially free. With hyperinflation, the price of gasoline in Venezuela was 00.153 Bolivares per gallon. That is the equivalent of USD $0.000000039 per gallon. Today they usually don’t even quote a price. I've seen it quoted as $0.01 per 100 liters, but in reality, there is no fixed price. You just hand the guy a few Bolivares in appreciation for him having pumped it, maybe give him a bag of rice, a few beers, or a bottle of cheap rum and you are on your way.

That place is going to erupt one day soon. As of March 2020, the Bolivar is worth 750 million times less than it was worth in August 2012. (The currency has lost 90% of its value eight different times since 2012.)

It was $1.67 at Walmart yesterday, but I heard there is a station here in Alamogordo selling at $1.59.

Maybe Trump should make an offer to buy Venezuela. Might be a good deal!

They are in serious trouble in Venezuela. A buddy said he saw on the news/internet that Trump put a 15 million bounty on the ruler's head (for human rights violations) I have not heard that anywhere else. I do know that are starving in the streets + that the current leader/dictators 1s act in office was for all gun registrations + of course we all know what happened next. Confiscation + now human rights atrocities.

There is a lot of smoke swirling around the bounty story. https://www.snopes.com/ap/2020...zuelas-maduro-aides/ Hard to pin the truth down yet.

The idea that Maduro's 1st act in office was for all guns to be registered in Venezuela is just not true. I moved to Venezuela in 1990 and moved out of Venezuela in 2003. I found out all firearms had to be registered in Venezuela, the first day I arrived in country.

I went quail hunting with an Expat friend. Birds were plentiful, so I asked him how I could own a gun in Venezuela. He described the difficult process. I could buy a gun locally, or he could "import" one for me. Either way, I had to register the weapon and obtain a Patron, which legally allowed me to possess it. It didn't matter whether I was an Expat or a Venezuelan citizen. The Patron was about a 1/4" of paper documentation from the Venezuelan government with all appropriate government stamps (local, state, federal) naming me as the owner of the weapon.

I looked at shotguns available in Venezuela and they were poor quality, expensive, and not easy to find. I therefore gave my friend a request for a Browning Citori Satin Hunter in 12 Ga. and within a month it came in, under a load of rubber goods for his company. Obviously, I didn't have any ownership documents, so my friend had me provide my Venezuelan Cedula and personal information and he started the "underground" process for "registering" a weapon and developing a Patron. For the next few years I only had one official ask to see my Patron, and it passed muster. (The registration documents were thick enough that I carried them with me in a manila folder whenever I took the shotgun out of my house.)

The only problem was that I didn't have a U. S. Customs Form 4457 showing I had brought the shotgun with me from the U. S., so there was no way I could take it with me back to the U.S. I sold it to my Expat friend for the same amount I had paid him for it before.

In short, extensive government gun registration was required in Venezuela long before Maduro took office, before Chavez took office, back in the day when they had two political parties (COPEI and AD).

The chaos in Venezuela has little to do with gun registration and everything to do with Chavez, and by extension, Maduro.

1.419 in Abilene on I-20 Sunday.
1.599 in Lago Vista today.

Paid 1.199 in New Mexico on Friday.

Diesel is down to $3.39 at the cheapest place I would by fuel in my area.
Some parts of the US have fuel cheaper than our fuel taxes in Ca.

Thanks Ken. There are enough rumors to go around even in normal times. I was talking to a buddy of mine tonight who is in the trucking/shipping industry + I was talking about the high cost of milk + he said that was most likely because the Texas dairy industry has had to dump about 40% of their milk before it goes to the coop. Any info on the truth of that? He also said that they have an order to truck some supplies from Houston to Fla. but can't get any drivers for fear it will be a one way trip + not allowed to leave FLA.

I have only heard about milk being dumped in Wisconsin. I don't know about Texas. It's possible I guess. I never see the shelves full of milk. Walmart today had their milk section about half full. Markets are certainly being disrupted.

I've got a friend in Florida. They are keeping low. We've got checkpoints at the Louisiana / Texas line at Orange.

I think Mardi Gras did Louisiana in. Everybody partying at the wrong time.

Interesting times.

£1.05 litre here in UK
Normally is £1.27

Here in Vegas, regular is $1.95 and diesel is $2.72.

I agree Ken, but those kids just HAD to have their spring break. Now everyone is paying for it.
