Fuel

 This morning I threw the gas cans in the truck and headed down to Holloway General where I get my small engine fuel.  They are one of the local stores that sell non-ethanol, and they are just up the road, so it's convenient. Nine gallons of non-ethanol cost me $34.55, which ain't too terrible.  4.5 gallons of diesel cost me $23.00.

The midterm elections are coming up pretty soon, and ol' Joe is doing everything he can to lower fuel prices.  I don't think it is going to do him any good.

I remember what fuel cost me on the final day of the previous administration and as far as I am concerned, one penny over that price is total failure for a sitting president, all things being equal, and all things are not equal. Fuel is up, crime is up, food prices are up,   The stock market is in bear territory.  This country is in a helluva mess, and it is the Democrats fault.

This morning I paid $2.69 a gallon for regular in Houston area. Still slowly coming down. I keep wondering if they wont hit $2.50 by election day. Having said that, many friends are saying gas prices have edged back up in their area of the country.

And Emperor Newsom is doing everything he can local to CA to counter that.

Paid $5.65/gal for diesel today. At the reservation -- where it's "cheaper"

$5.49 yesterday in San Jose, CA. At Costco, generally the lowest price in town. $2.89 there the day Biden took office.
