Price of gas

Recommended Posts

Now let's see the chart showing the value of a dollar in the same years.

That way you'll know how much you've lost since then in the value of everything you own priced in U.S. dollars. :icon_cry:

I saw a chart recently that compared the dollar in 2000 to now. $1 is now worth .59 cents.

Yes, that was my post too. If we look back to 1913 and the creation of the Federal Reserve, the 1913 dollar is now worth just about a nickel. The gas article only went back to 1937.

they're suggesting locking gas caps.....dumb idea. if they want the gas outta your car, they're gonna siphon it or punch a hole in your tank. better to lose a couple hundred in gas than a nearly 1k fuel tank.......

Gas is the new cat converter?

it was last time gas was this high. people were punching holes in gas tanks. we had one of our CAP vans hit, but thankfully they only siphoned....so we just lost about 40 gallons.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
