Surprisingly this NBC report admits the obvious. The national price of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline is projected to hit $6.00/gal by Labor Day. Some states like California are already exceeding that amount, with reports that some CA gas stations are near $10/gal. WATCH (1:08 sec):
.
I heard $10. Spin that wheel! Play gas price roulette!
I suspect that it will be more than $6, but I hope not $10.
I suspect the Biden Admin will come up with a crisis designed to get gas to $10 by then.
It will have us fondly recalling $5/gal.
Lets Go Brandon!
It will be $10 in California because they are the only state that is still importing Middle East Oil.
They are too Green Crazy to build a pipeline to Texas.
Note: if there is a Middle East disruption – California could be without gas while the rest of the county has it.
Pity poor California!
Not!!
I pity conservative Californians who can’t afford to move.
I pity all conservatives stuck in such places.
Hold my beer. Watch this!
At the current oil and gas prices, this winter I see people in the CITIES cutting down park trees to burn for heat in their fireplace. By February, whole parks could be deforested as people desperately try to stay warm.
The National Police force will shoot the illegal looters of trees.
Sounds about right.
Not to mention, burners of the wood. In their own homes.
They really frown on us contributing to global climate change in that way.
I’ve been doing that for two years now, harvesting dead trees on the property to heat the house. My neighbors, some of them, do the same thing with the blown over almond trees. Yup, didn’t live in the forest, rather where CA grows almonds and pistachios and other fine food crops. I can’t wait for whoever wants to buy the place to complain about the trees. Bud, that’s your heat when PG&E and the propane company have you by the balls.
I was in Chicago this weekend and there were several gas stations with regular over 6 $ a gallon
Diesel here in western Colorado went up 16 cents a gallon since yesterday.
Now at 5.49.
EIA published the national average price of diesel as $5.70 on Monday June 6. We buy lots of diesel and I recorded increases of 50 cents this week, just since Monday. So next Monday’s national average will be much higher. These are new record highs every week.
Fellow Treepers, there is something else going on with the JoeBama gasoline policies the vast majority of people are not aware of. Because, although they lived the initial situation and its consequences years ago, it was never explained to them by the fake media.
Not just the price of gas, but the horrendous increase in the amount of alcohol in the gasoline.
When alcohol was first added to gas, the engine seals were destroyed by it. Oil leaks all over. Which led to the oil getting on the engine belts and destroying them. Loss of power steering, loss of power brakes, loss of battery recharging. It was horrible.
The automobile manufacturers responded by using engine seals in their new cars that could handle the alcohol content that was added to the gasoline back then.
So now JoeBama has added more alcohol to the gas, which will destroy even those newer cars because their engine seals will not be able to handle it.
Why has he done it? Think- the Green New Deal. That is why they have added more alcohol to the gasoline- to destroy our vehicles.
My answer to that is to use alcohol free gas. It is harder to find than regular gas, and more expensive. But it will save my car. So I will be able to travel when it is more convenient for me, instead of having to alter my life to use ‘Government’ transportation.
FJB, the Green New Deal, and the NWO tyrants.
FREEDOM!!!
I found a site online that lists gas stations that sell ethanol-free gasoline. You can look up your state and then go down the list of cities to find a station near you.

Good, Belle. I am lucky, one of them is just 1 mile from my place. On my way home from work, I stop there if I need gas and get ethanol free gas. My old vehicle was destroyed by ethanol, that will not happen to my new car.
Thank you for posting this!
Yep, also marine and racing fuel work. In Oregon, along the coast, there are a lot of boats and dune buggies so local places sell clear, marine, and racing fuel, some out of the pump. Worth it IMO if one has older vehicles and portable power equipment that ethanol destroys. Depending on vehicle type, some older vehicles can run on 100LL at the local airport too. It doesn’t absorb heat when vaporizing as well as pump gas but in some applications that’s not a problem. Think pre-cat stuff.
There’s a fairly easy process for removing ethanol from gas using just water. Several online sites describe putting gas and a small amount of colored water into container. After a short time, the ethanol binds with the water and separates from the gas. Drain off the water/ethanol mix leaving pure gas.
This ethanol is a very real issue as you stated. It will destroy a motor or engine, automotive and especially your lawn and garden equipment. Pushing us towards electric vehicles? Problem is, most folks will have to make a decision, plug the car in or make the car note payment, if they can afford rent or the mortgage, and then there is that pesky stuff called food.
The gasoline is actually the least of our problems. Fact is just about everything is spiraling out of control.
For instance We want to be in a war with Russia, North Korea, Iran and China and are taking active steps to do i all at the same time.
Next we seem to want the cost of living to be as high as possible and the dollar to be worth about the value of the Bolivar…..
Then we want to take away weapons to make every city the same as the ones that have strictest controls and have the highest murders… (go figure)
Then we seem to want our childrent to be taught that they are LBGT before they can say the words……. and if YOU discussed the same things with someone elses child they would put you in prison!
What you have is the Manchurian Candidate who’s controllers are heck bent on destroying you!
It also causes problems in pipelines. The alcohol encourages condensation during transmission which is problematic when introduced into engines.
Back when I worked in O&G the base product would get sent to the local terminal and the company additive package would get added before transferring to the tankers for delivery. That way multiple distributors could share the same base stock. Times change though. Don’t know if they use pigs in the lines today or not; that was another way of separating out stocks.
Ethanol does like to chew on steel though. Seen that in my old cars with steel fuel lines. Replaced them with stainless. The galvanized tanks, so far, seem to be doing OK.
Oh, another thing to watch out for with high price fuel is tank drilling, something becoming common with cordless drills these days. Siphoning on steroids and a locking gas cap does nothing.
In Montana you can still find ethanol-free gas. It is all I ever use.
Every thinking motorcyclist and small-engine owner has been doing exactly that for ten years or more. We use Gas Buddy to find the stations with ethanol-free. Around here (N E GA), even Walmart’s Murphy Oil offers ethanol-free fuel at about a $2 premium over the alcohol-contaminated stuff.
I’m lessening my production and sales,
simply because the price of gas is outpacing
the price of my product.
Sales are down, and costs are up.
And I’m just a ten penny shoe salesman.
Can you imagine what this is doing to scaled up operations?
We are screwed.
With the price of gas as it is now and with a new, bigger garden that is just beginning to produce, I have decided I won’t visit family this summer. I usually let the neighbors pick whatever they want from the garden and pray that it rains enough to sustain the veggies.
NBC is surely asleep at the wheel.
He looks happy about it! I’m sure I’m wrong, but his eyes….

Labor Day? Ha! Diesel is already at $6 a gallon here in the Detroit area. Gasoline is already $5.50+. $6 gas is right around the corner, like in a few days, especially when they shut down oil production in Wyoming.
OK but heating oil is the big deal when people cannot heat their homes.
Coming to America this winter:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/collect-branches-fuel-poles-told-burn-wood-keep-warm-amid-putinflation
Lot of people with fireplaces will be burning wood, or even coal, this winter. Watch the trees get cut down in the cities.
Starting in the winter of 2019, my motto became “I can burn that”. The fireplace insert ate everything. The fireplace wall in the living room is huge, it’s an old brick fireplace and once it’s warmed up it stays that way for days, plus the insert fan.
The insert sticks out so when I ran out of LP for the cooktop I cooked on the fire too, using the old cast iron pots from the family’s ranch. I figured if they could cook that way during the Depression, so could I.
A couple years ago I had a tree guy come out and do a lot of trimming.
I didn’t let him haul away the branches, but rather pile them up.
I have a Kelty kettle which uses twigs and tiny bits of wood to heat water and cook with. Could also use this fuel in a rocket stove.
I do have a wood heat/cook stove and plan on getting a few more cords of wood for it.
I have a solar oven and single burner kerosene stove, too.
Three is two, two is one and one is none.
Looking at $6 on the 4th of July and $8/gallon by Labor Day.
It’s 5.29/6.09/6.19 in the Bronx right now.
Currently prices range from 5.45 for regular to 5.99 for diesel at the closest town to where I live on the Oregon coast. Clear gas last I checked was close to ten bucks a gallon; that’s 93 octane ethanol-free that the dune buggies often run. Let’s Go Brandon.
Fun fact: Oregon diesel prices do not include any state diesel tax for road trucks. We record our state miles and report them to Oregon quarterly, plus send a check for the 22 cents per mile. So while Montana state tax is only 30 cents per gallon, Oregon’s is essentially $1.54 per gallon (truck averages 7 mpg x 22 cents per mile). So while we pay record high prices in your lovely state, we also send in thousands of dollars for additional road taxes each quarter. It feels a lot like being robbed. Example: Wisconsin price today is $5.19 and INCLUDES 32 cents for road tax. By comparison, the Stansfield, OR price today is $5.90 PLUS the $1.54 per gallon in road tax.
I see at least $7 or $8 by then in our corner of the Pacific Northwest Leftist Paradise.
NBC must have switched out the video because the current one is only 1:02.
The video Sundance is referring to, which, again, appears to have been replaced, briefly showed a US map claiming that 10 states have gas prices climbing towards $5/gallon.
Ohio was NOT one of the “climbing” states, but Ohio is now at $5.07 per gallon, and it’s up roughly 20 cents in ONE DAY,
We’re heading into Weimar territory, and no one will admit it.
Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow said that gas prices ‘don’t matter’ personally to her because she has an electric vehicle…

Idiot.
The only consolation (if you can call it such) is that Californians are getting hit the hardest.
