Worked at a full service gas station in high school with 2 bays for repairs. Mechanical pumps, cheap oil in cardboard quarts and mostly cash sales. Gas rarely went over 30 cents a gallon for regular.

Now we are in my wheelhouse     Any refinery that can run sour crude can and does process sweet. Just can't do it as efficiently. Fact, no refinery in the USA processes ONLY sour crude. They

Again politics is not a subject for the site. It's specifically mentioned in the site rules. People are only going to argue.   Gas price listing are fine without all the political comment.

It’s true there’s greed involved the downside of capitalism. There’s still nothing better. Like complaining about living in the U.S. No doubt lowering quantity for the same or more profits is the American way. How many people would work 10 hours for pay that 8 hours brings across the street. But ultimately it’s our fault. Our president stated what his policy was towards big oil before the election and after. We didn’t pay attention, well some of us. It’s funny how people complain about a system they benefit from until they have to put a little work in to fix it. I live through it before saw it coming.

Starting to spread across other sectors...

"Current U.S. gasoline consumption levels are running 3% lower than a year ago and have been declining at a 3-5% clip the past seven weeks, according to researchers at DataTrek (chart below). DataTrek noted that these declines were not the case prior to April 2022, suggesting that pain at the pump is affecting consumer behavior."

People have said this for six thousand years. Ops! It would have been different if we had picked someone else. 

Truth is humans are horrible at self rule. We have the right to but not the ability to....do it well. 

 

There is no right human choice

I drove by my favorite dealership this morning. GMC-Hyundai dealership. Not many cars on the Hyundai side. The lot was full just 2 months ago. A few more trucks on the GMC.  I read this morning new vehicle sales are slowing down. People are realizing the administration claims this is temporary. Not believing it.

Exactly, why rule of law is critical. Consent of the governed critical too. 
The day the governed believe you just ignore rule of law instead of changing it by consent of governed you get wanker unelected tyrants telling you it’s ok. 
Even judeo christian law is based on free will and consent of governed in this life.

You watch people drive, right? 

Do you believe driving laws are enforced?

 

This state openly admits unwritten policy that speeding isn't speeding until you are over by 10 mph.

What does the LAW say? 

Kill someone doing 10 over and see what that speed limit is.

Unenforced or selectively enforced  law is not law.

Not even a good suggestion.

That doesn’t change the law. Rule of law is just that. LEO enforcement of traffic laws is the grey part of law you love.  Lol

The gas stations that usually raise their prices first are at 4.49 now. The rest will follow when they get the next load.

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
