    How did costs "surge" for gasoline when the national average for gas has declined for 29 straight days??

    The energy index increased 7.5 percent in June after rising 3.9 percent in May. The gasoline index
    rose 11.2 percent in June after increasing 4.1 percent in May. (Before seasonal adjustment,
    gasoline prices rose 9.9 percent in June.) The index for natural gas rose 8.2 percent in June, the
    largest monthly increase since October 2005. The electricity index also increased in June,
    rising 1.7 percent.

    The energy index rose 41.6 percent over the past 12 months. The gasoline index increased 59.9
    percent over the span, the largest 12-month increase in that index since March 1980. The index for
    electricity rose 13.7 percent, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending April 2006.
    The index for natural gas increased 38.4 percent over the last 12 months, the largest such
    increase since the period ending October 2005.

    It doesn't make sense to me, but then again most things do not make sense to me.

    I recently looked up the commodities futures for foodstuffs and most were down last few weeks. Hopefully this along with slightly falling gas prices signal some stabilization in inflation in the coming months.

    Inflation is generally a lagging indicator. And core prices are dropping. The headline is surely shocking, but many experts did expect to see inflation continue through Q2 of CY 2022. We're now in the start of Q3, and by all indications, June should be the last month of near double digit inflation. We'll see what the July numbers bring this time next month.

    Which makes sense because most monthly data is collected by mid-month. So that is why it is high in that report despite the drop over the last month.

    The MAGA trickle up economy.
    2.2T CARES Act
    PPP free money
    Sending out checks to everyone

    The Democrat trickle up economy
    1.9T Stimulus
    More free money
    3T Infrustructure bill
    More money for stuff

    These are the jackals we all voted into power! They are all the same. Biden did Trump a favor by winning. He took the economy L for Trump :confused::confused::confused:

    now… the awesome thing is that all that debt to China gets to be paid of with deflated dollars. Yeah! Winning.

    Plenty of places in S Carolina when I drove through there a few weeks ago were already under $4.00. The gas station around the corner from me in North Carolina was $4.06 this morning.

    It's on purpose and will get worse. With that said, I'd invest all my money in Buc-ee's when they go public.
