'70s flashback

Rolled out of Greenville this morning with my fingers crossed. Bike has around 175 mi range. If I baby it I can stretch it out about 200 MI. Found gas station in Columbia and topped her off. Put her in the wind got back to North Myrtle 165 mi. Found a station took about 15 minutes in line to get to the pump. Filled her up and then hung out for about 20 minutes just watching. Blowing horns cussing each other rather entertaining.

22 life’s a day

I drove a VW bug or a bike while in HS…30 mpg… Gas wars…gas 0.25 to 0.50 cents a gallon…

College I had a 455 HO trans am that got 10 mpg…gas was over $2 a gallon…it went up on blocks and got a 10 speed.

Ethanol free gas was $3.07 couple of days ago…today $3.79 to the Kroger…with reward points!!!

Forget offshore fushing…1-1.5 mpg for 180 miles…

Day late and a dolla short most my life.

Imagine what the future holds when the food doesn’t make it to stores…unless wagons and mules make a comeback.

Be carful my main.

Mdaddy, Corn prices up 130% right now. It won’t just be getting food to the stores, it will be the price of the food if it gets there. I have predicted gas prices over $4.00 by this fall. Might be sooner. And while this pipe line is shut down from a foreign attack against our Country, Biden says it is a Private sector Problem. WTF!

did Biden also say a pipeline can be hacked but our voting machines can’t? 81 million people voted for malaise right?

Look at one post, look at another its the same thing in every post. Lies, misinformation. conspiracy theories and fear mongering. Same thing over and over and over.

outta gas Spartanburg near mall hwy 29 @ I-26 last night. very polite pleasant group of mixed race locals in line at the pump until it ran out.

Bob I’ll have to say you are not correct. No lies stated. A foreign attack has been placed on our fuel supply shutting down 45% of all diesel, jet fuel, and gas. Fact. We now have service stations with our fuel. Fact. Our president stated this was a private sector issue. Fact. This is a crisis on joe Biden’s leadership. Fact. Just what lies are you babbling about. I think you just hate the fact that you support a feeble old man.

I could go on and on with facts for young we all know that would be wasted typing. Just like the above. Troll away mr bob. I have no hate towards you just because you see through some sort of different eyes that can not accept truth.

Is this the same thing as when Trump said Covid-19 was a “HOAX”? Killed hundreds of thousands. How many could have been saved if he didn’t down play the virus. Every one knows this happened Fred so don’t say it didn’t.


BOB

Freddie, why didn’t trump punish Russia ?

Nearly a week after the US government announced that multiple federal agencies had been targeted by a sweeping cyber-attack, the full scope and consequences of the suspected Russian hack remain unknown.

After days of silence, Donald Trump on Saturday dismissed the hack, which federal officials said posed a “grave risk” to every level of government, and said it was “well under control”. Joe Biden has promised a tougher response to cyber-attacks but offered no specifics. Members of Congress are demanding more information about what happened, even as officials scrambling for answers call the attack “significant and ongoing”.

Key federal agencies, from the Department of Homeland Security to the agency that oversees America’s nuclear weapons arsenal, were reportedly targeted, as were powerful tech and security companies including Microsoft. Investigators are still trying to determine what information the hack

What say you Fred?

The Commerce, Energy, and Justice Departments have confirmed that they were hacked. The Treasury and State Departments, Department of Homeland Security, parts of the Pentagon, and the National Institutes of Health are reported to have been affected, too.

Can’t answer that one Polly. Let’s move to the Present. Why did Biden say this is a Private sector Issue? I’m also curious why they didn’t start running the pipeline manually to begin with instead of letting supplies get so low as to shut down stations.

Hey Bobo, Colonial is privately owned. During trump admin, at least six US government departments, including energy, commerce, treasury and state, are reported to have been breached. The National Nuclear Security Administration’s networks were also breached.

The Colonial Pipeline, based in Alpharetta, Ga., is one of the largest in the United States. It can carry roughly three million barrels of fuel a day over 5,500 miles from Houston to New York. … Today Colonial Pipeline is owned by Royal Dutch Shell, Koch Industries and several foreign and domestic investment firms.4 hours ago

Again I’m talking present issue Bro. We all know you hated Trump. Bottom line, right here, right now, America’s east coast has lost 45% of our fuel supply due to foreign hackers meddling with America. This is not just a private sector issue. I don’t like Government meddling in private businesses, but when a business holds 45% stake in all Transportation Fuel of the East coast I expect my tax dollars to go to work to stop the Terror attack and crisis.

We have our government meddling in so many b.s. aspects of our lives why don’t they meddle in something as serious as this? Why has Colonial waited so long to actually send real man power out to manually monitor remote stations and turn things back on? How about if this group had ransomed our Power Grid? I’m not going Political but I will say the leader of Our country needs to step up a bit more. If it was Trump in office I’d say the same thing. Why is it everyone just jumps back to blaming Trump for Biden’s short falls? Biden can’t f up? I want fair and accurate coverage, not cover ups and deflections.

Everyone is going to say the gas prices are going up because of this. It was already climbing pretty quick. The gas up and down the interstate from Greenville to North Myrtle was around 269 a gallon. Diesel went over $3 a gallon about a month ago. I just seen the pipeline is back up and running…

Hey Fred,

   Some midwits have been so brainwashed by their CCP propaganda networks they believe anything with Russia in the story. Even the far left Washington Post knows it was China and China was piz

You must not know much about how the oil industry works… Wells, etc. have been shutdown because of covid… The economy reopened and demand picked up, which was expected… It takes time to restart oil wells, and the related infrastructure… This is nothing compared to Bush in the summer of 2008 with $150 oil…

Heck, 3 years ago under Drumpf oil shot up and gas was over $3 bucks a gallon for no reason…

Here are the facts:

Reality is oil production increased under Obama more than any other President:

Once again you come in and insult a member of this forum that contributes more in a day than you do in a month, and to top it off you do it with half truths, bull schitt cut and past articles that only tell a portion of the story, and blind ignorance of the historical facts. Again, you do it to sound important, but it simply shows your lack of even a elementary understanding of what you are making up.

Here is what happened and why during the Busch, Obama, and Trump years of fuel production in the US. You should educate yourself on not only how the oil industry works, but how history works before dribbling dumbarss all down your chin and insulting folks with your pseudo knowledge and fake facts.

Don’t bother responding, I won’t answer. I just couldn’t let you continue to spew that ignorance without pointing out that you suck and that you are bad for business,once again.

As You Were

Man you have issues and are having another meltdown…

Your article proves my point, oil production INCREASED the most under Obama than any other President… And that is exactly what I stated…

You obviously didn’t read your own “cut and paste”…

“Then, in Obama’s second term the U.S. saw the fastest surge of oil production in U.S. history. It was also the largest oil production growth seen during any presidential term in history.”

And for the record, I have been reading Robert Rapier for about 15 years… You realize he is/was a major “peak oiler”, right…

Also, based on the way you overreact, you must be liquored up when you post…

Off and running. Found a bike I like yesterday. Even have the wife’s permission. They wouldn’t let me test ride it because of the rain.
