I am fortunate enough now where I can do this, but there was a time in my life where it was a regular occurrence to take the change in my pocket or whatever I could scrounge up from between the seats and ashamedly ask the clerk for less than $1 at the pump... Thankfully I drove a Honda so running on fumes was no big deal lol
Seems like gas prices are on the rise... again.
Out of curiosity, what is everybody else payin' where you live?
Down here in So. Florida, a gallon of premium is setting me back $1.95.
Need to fire up the VW Beetle again.
Don't you wish?
Karnak predicts gas prices will go up before Memorial Day.

2023 profits by company:
Heinz Kraft: $8.973 billion
Exxon Mobil: $9.1 billion
JP Morgan: $49 billion
Delta Airlines: $4.6 billion
Amazon: $9.9 billion
Apple Inc: $97 billion
Tesla: $13.6 billion
Verizon: $78.6 billion
Albertsons: $21.75 billion
Walmart: $155 billion
Target: $25.2 billion
Nike: $22.65 billion
Blue Cross & Shield: $7.5 billion
Kaiser: $3.29 billion
What does this have to do with anything?
Starbucks made $24.56 billion in profits for 2023. Which means it could give each of its 400,000 employees an $11,000 raise and would still have $20 billion in profit.
Not trying to make this political, just real.

$2.13/L CAD comes out to about $5.93/gal USD, but still more expensive than anywhere in the country.

Well for sure when energy prices are high it trickles down to food and housing. No wonder we can't get a handle on inflation yet.

I am paying a bit more than $5 on the average. I think my gas is special, made by virgins under full moon.

It looks like this is Gross Profits before operating expenses. Probably not the best way to justify a big bonus for employees.
