Alert - The 4 dollar barrier has been breached in Charlotte

I have had a pet theory for about 2 weeks that $4 was a "sticky" barrier stores didnt want to cross and once they did, there would be a pretty rapid increase from there.

Where was this? Highest I have seen in Charlotte was today at $3.99 9/10. So essentially $4.

That’s another thing. I’ve seen much wider ranges in prices. Gas station up the road not too far from this station had gas at $3.89.

Corner of East Blvd and South Blvd. It’s consistently the highest price station I drive past regularly.

Know the station. But even if that one is a little higher, $4 is here

$3.74-$3.79 pretty much across Chapel Hill and Carrboro (and points west on Hwy 54 to Morrow Mill Road).

$3.89 at my local Harris Teeter. Should be $4 by next week.

This is also why I purchased a hybrid in 2023.

I despise Elon, but I'm enjoying the super discounted deal I got on a low mileage Tesla Y a year ago. It is muxh better on gas than my Corvette.

We are so fucked arent we?

We are so fucked arent we?

Maybe. But also maybe not. The American economy is more massive than anyone can comprehend and it takes a lot to completely fuck it. Even moreso for the global economy.

Perhaps a sustained rise in gas prices can finally help Americans pull our heads out of our asses when it comes to renewable and/or nuclear energy? There is a possible future where we never have to worry about the Straits of Hormuz again. We have the technology and geography to continue to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. And the longer this crisis goes on, the dumber Trump's irrational hostility towards renewable energy looks.

That JPM map is really something. I was driving around yesterday and really noticed the number of massive vehicles on the road- Suburbans, Tellurides, Tahoes, Sequoias, not to mention full sized trucks. I wonder how high prices will have to go (and for how long) before people start to ditch those.

Yeah, Americans' addiction to using massive land barges and juiced up pickups as daily drivers is really irrational.
