Have You Got To Where You Think In Critical Terms About The Cost To Go Anywhere...Or Commute?

I can't help but think about the cost to take my truck to Sacramento or my wife's car at 15mpg versus 30mpg... at 80 miles round trip plus running around wherever, it's six gallons of premium at around $35 versus her mid grade three gallons at around a little less than $15. A five day commute would be $735 a month versus about $315.
My contractor friends are having to build the price of gas into a job.

I'm watching the top oil company profits going through the roof, and asking why Biden is not holding them accountable for price gouging and when he will?
My guess is that he will do that as Airlines, UPS, FedEx, and other businesses that depend on fuel start posting quarterly losses of hundreds of millions of dollars, at the point gasoline prices are directly responsible for bringing the country to it's knees.
So yes, I'm blaming Biden for not getting out ahead of this and letting the industry know that prices need to go down now, or they will wish they had.

President Trump was way out ahead of this, Biden declared unconditional war on f****l f**l, with your full support.
If you want to place blame, you need look no further than your own mirror, so just pay up and shut up.

Why run premium in your truck in the first place? That's stupid on your part.
You've stated that you drive an F-150, and they are engineered to run on regular gas. Or, is yours special?
I've got the 5.4 liter, with a fresh tune up, and my display showed 16.2 on the way home today on regular gas. Last week I hauled a 1200lb round bale about 20 miles, and it showed 15.4. On regular gas. It ran, and runs fine. I'll race you any day in it.

I'm in the group that isn't afraid to do critical thinking about cause and effect, and the buck stops at the oil industry charging increased prices even though they are not seeing any reason to except stupid people saying they "have to raise prices"...so you my friend are the voices in the peanut gallery sending the message that they can

Sure you will, I've got the 5.0 340hp Coyote, and sure it "will run" on regular, but it gets better gas mileage on premium. I had my reasons for not wanting the 5.4, I like the way mine feels pulling my dump bed trailer with a yard of wet road base gravel or the flatbed with my backhoe...does the job and has all the Platinum goodies.
