As long as we are talking oil prices... I wish to be of service to anyone who has not noticed sumpin very damm importante:
Go get your gasoline in containers NOW. Why? Because oil is breaking upward like mad, and there is absolutely no slight, tiny reason for it not to get a shitload worse dang quick:
That there above, Pilgrims is the future price of GAS for you car, writ large:
That is a 30% increase in ONE MEASLY WEEK, folks.
So... How can Unca get a rock dropped on him? Just watch (life ain't fair):
So I throws 7 of them red plastic 5-gal gas thingy's in the trunk of the now-functioning car. Drive down to the local station, and take 'em out and begin filling ($3.65/gal).
Got two cans filled, third container is just full... aaaannnnd, I notice gasoline leaking out of the middle container. I pick it up, and it ain't a leak. A leak drips. This was a fargin steay squirt! LOTSA gas going onto the pavement.
So I quick grab another gas can, and begin transferring the pouring out loud can into the next one. Then I notice, the FIRST one is leaking. Oh dear.
Grab another a transfer. Folks coming by are watching this big old guy transferring gas from can to can... The guy musta lost it the plot, eh wot?
Anyway... I toss the two bum cans away to a spot next to the pump. Get the rest filled.
Ace Hardware is right there, so I go on over to buy some more gas cans. I almost peed a little; cheap, red plastic 5-gal gas cans START at over $35 EACH!! Not $5, $35 and UP.
I did no buy none, nope.
I gotta figger a way to buy a gas can without buying the fargin company that made it for 45 cents.
Anyway... Just glance at the chart and think: Oil-to-gas price impact and go get yours. One mo' thang: $90 oil to $116 oil is a 20% hike in less than a week.
A 20% hike on $3.65 gas = $4.38 and UP.
Oh, darn. I just got a report: $129 a barrel.
