Gas has never been as high around here as it is now. In the 14 years that I have owned my current Corvette, the most I ever paid for a gallon of premium was $3.99. I paid $4.29 for regular last week. Most places now, premium is over $5.

As much as I drive $100/gallon wouldn't be a problem and the good thing about having prices that high is they'll never run out of the stuff

He still faces the very real threat of having his catalytic converter stolen, though.

Nah, his van was used by hippies during the "summer of love" in 1967, it's a 1961 model year, so it never had a cat.

Satellite photos show Yemen rebels hit Saudi oil site again

These rebels are financed by Iran. Biden is negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran and will allow them to make more money selling their oil so they can finance more of this crap.
