Easy choice right there. As you're filling up do you look at the people filling up across the street and shake your head?

My smallish town is always behind everyone else, but noticed this morning on the way into work gas jumped from $3.99 to $4.19 overnight.

These days I shake my head anytime I see a gas station.

3.97 in JoMo.

$ 4.29 Greenville KY.

Just drove past the same station. The price did indeed jump 58 cents to match the one across the street.

4321

That's one hell of a price increase!

Yeah, we were in town today (Branson West) and it went from 3.99 to 4.29 while we were there.

$4.19 on the way to work, $4.27 on the way home from work yesterday.

New record high national average of $4.715

Kansas state average $4.258

Missouri state average $4.301

Filled up for $4.03 yesterday in El Dorado. Strange to feel like that was a bargain as everywhere in Wichita seems to be $4.35 this morning.

OPEC and its oil-producing allies agreed on Thursday to hike output in July and August by a larger-than-expected amount as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine wreaks havoc on global energy markets.

OPEC+ will increase production by 648,000 barrels per day in both July and August, bringing forward the end of the historic output cuts OPEC+ implemented during the throes of the pandemic.

The group has been slowly returning the nearly 10 million barrels per day it agreed to pull from the market in April 2020. In recent months, output has risen between 400,000 and 432,000 barrels per day each month.

Refineries are already at full capacity. If Louisiana or Texas get hit with hurricanes they will have to shut some of those down. It can takes weeks to start back up and get back to full capacity, and that’s if there are relatively few damages. Then you have the reserves which will all be empty sooner than later, and that will push prices higher. Good time to go buy a nice bicycle or a Vespa.
