The lady in the commercial must be buying a lot of gas to save all the money she claims she saved. lol

See Kwik Trip has their Unleaded 88 to within 3 cents of the 87.

So technically it is still cheaper. heh

And they can keep showing those Chris Hawkey commercials, for now.

Seems as of late most places have about the same price.

prior to all this: seems like you could always count on HyVee to charge more so they can nick you on your gas points right out of the gate.

It's time to play hardball think.

We need to find the shed where they put all those 55MPH speed limit signs: and get 'em back out there on the roads.

Just looked at their website price list for Albert Lea.

Wrong, inaccurate. .

Guess you have to sign up to get the accurate prices from them. hah

Posted by Self-Banished on Mar. 16 2022,9:32 am
No, gas buddy is fairly accurate
Used them this am,

This is what it costs to put a little fuel on now

Enjoy, you’re paying for it.

^^ I just bought some tires, $300 for one tire on my personal vehicle,$1100 for two new steer tires.

Don’t worry, we won’t be passing those costs along to you, just the diesel for now.

good luck getting that to pass

if the oil companies do prefer the republicans

the gouge is like a double bonus for them

the CEO's and a few others are the only ones who make out

they get a big enuff chunk to hedge the high costs they create

everybody else's dividends will all be eaten up by the higher costs it generates

Scotty sure likes to jabber, guess I would too if Youtube had made me a millionaire many times over.

Scotty is 68 yrs old but with enough smarts to know the value of being a youtuber.

Scotty has 4.96M subscribers but his viewer numbers far exceed that.

Scotty's income stream..

1- Youtube
2- Advertising Products, endorsements deals
3- Amazon (Scotty's Garage)
4- Scotty has a couple of books published.
5- Kilmer had a television show on KHOU titled Crank it Up with Scotty
6- He still does a little mechanic work...

I'm not a subscriber but have watched Scotty and picked up some useful information.

Posted by Self-Banished on Apr. 22 2022,7:19 am
Scotty tend to contradict himself from time to time but I like his vids
Posted by Brand New Day on Apr. 22 2022,11:46 am
thought he had a bit part on CBS National too at one point

yeah he has his flaws

he likes to point out he isn't beholden to any endorsements

uses the click-bait thumbnails almost exclusively

but guess that's all part of his charm hah

there are so many car channels

like Scotty's channel

but like the guy with 42 subs that will break down a car repair and demo it for you as well.

that is part of You Tube at its best imo

like anything that resembles bad public access TV as well

gas now under $4

unless you go out to KWIKTRIP and HYVEE @ Northbridge area there. . .

they always seem to be like 20 cents more than everyone else in town. . .

not sure why. . .

interstate 90 gouging?

is that what they call highway robbery?  :laugh:

all can say is:

keep dropping gas prices!  :clap:  :beer:  :thumbsup:  :cheer:

Posted by Self-Banished on Jul. 30 2022,8:26 am
^^ yeah, woohoo, when’s it going to be $1.50 again?

“While you were feeling pain at the pump, Shell, Exxon, and Chevron raked in $46 BILLION in profits over the last three months and said they would spend up to $47 billion on stock buybacks after spending $18.8 billion so far this year. Yes, it’s time for a windfall profits tax,” tweeted Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

Big Oil companies post record profits

^^weak sauce..you're getting bent over by corporate oil and you attack me... :dunce:
Posted by Self-Banished on Aug. 01 2022,12:13 pm
^^ not really, you’ve never heard of fuel surcharge? Pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before, because of Gropey’s policies, you’re being bent over.

But I guess you’re used to it :rofl:

Posted by Expatriate on Aug. 01 2022,12:55 pm
^^Fuel surcharge has been around since 2005...President in 2005 was George W. Bush.

You're merely trying to pivot because it's impossible for you to admit Corporate oil is the culprit...add to that Donald Trump's tariffs and you got a corporate/Republican policy disaster...

do you keep that bunghole greased all the time?

Posted by Self-Banished on Aug. 02 2022,5:42 am
^^ and you “think” (that’s a stretch) Trump did nothing to promote cheap energy? With sub $40 oil during his presidency I would think the oil company wouldn’t have liked him much. Gropey’s $100 oil (now sub $100, thanks to a failing economy) would have the oil companies jumping for joy. Cut the US supply, higher prices follow. Even Gropey admits to this folly
