unclevlad Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 NYT reports the death toll in Turkey and Syria has now exceeded 20,000, and conditions are still making rescue efforts difficult, so it's still going to go higher...and I'm very much afraid, notably higher. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ternaugh Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Local news for me: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nevada-governor-declares-state-emergency-fuel-pipeline-leak-california-rcna70227 The pipeline that feeds unleaded gasoline and diesel from refineries in Southern California has a leak, and the pipeline has been shut down as of Thursday night. As there are other means of delivery, there shouldn't be shortages here unless people panic and start hoarding. I'l probably be able to avoid most of it, as I usually only fill up my Prius about every three weeks or so, and I have about 300 miles left to go on this tank.

unclevlad Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Probably means you'll see a spike in gas prices...which may or may *not* relate to any supply variation.... I'm in a cynical mode there because of local, natural gas prices: Dec: $7.50 per, more or less Jan: almost $14 Feb: reported to be back to $6.50 And, no, January wasn't cold. A bit below normal, but we haven't had any unusually cold weather all winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit below normal, but we haven't had any unusually cold weather all winter. I received my natural gas bill this morning. It was about $55 higher than my electricity use last month. So, my solution for the rest of February is to play more intensive games on my gaming computer and turn off the heater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
