gas pump manufacturers are receiving reports that their pumps are severely overheating from the too fast increasing dollars and cents registering on the pumps. The recommended fix is a water cooled attachment to reduce the heat generated.

If the price keeps going up nobody will be using the gas pumps anymore problem solved right? Also if refineries keep shutting down there will be no fuel to pump. Can you say rationing?

Since we're talking about gas prices...again.

Does anyone else have anxiety about pulling their bus into gas stations?

I know I do!

I have a 43 foot bus usually pulling a 24 foot trailer.  I have gotten in and out of some pretty tight gas stations.  I pulled into a Walmart gas station last year or the year before and was questioning how the heck I could get to the pumps then recalled I had been at that exact gas station my previous trip and made it work.  I was able to get fuel this time too.

Georgia Governor suspended the state gas tax so I topped off for $5.05, but that deal ends June 1st. I'm glad that as a lad living in Colorado I worked cattle ranches for a summer job. I got real good at riding a horse, but I just checked the price on Amazon for the methane collection bag I have to put on the rear end of a horse per the EPA edict from D.C.

Everything you buy gets there by diesel power. Two burgers and a slice of pie at the local diner; $40.

Now Someplaces are asking you to turn the air conditioning up to prevent blackouts and have enough power to charge the EV's .6 charging stations close to me they are letting people use 1 for blackout reasons,there was 10 EV's inline waiting for a 30 minute charge ,Technoloy at it's best

Hey Van - crosssing the political line?
Clifford - Wall Street has to wait to hear from Wally World, Target, and Costco that consumer's pocketbooks are closing up? Like we did not know this was coming?

The question is what's ahead? OK - crossing the line. Sleepy Joe is hoping for a new variant to put us all back on house lockdown. That will cut demand, maybe.
Ted - Where are the climate folks now? Surely in the choir crying about how oil is hurting their finances. What happened to just go out and buy an EV?
Navigatinbg corner gas stations? There is a dent in a bay door that reminds me daily to be super watchful.
I'm heading to the ranch today and just really upset that a short round trip is over $600 and that is old pricing. Still, love the bus travel, just need to stay parked longer in one place.

Enjoy the day and keep that wallet open and flowing!
