Re: Iran
They might bitch about it, but seems not many really care about the price of gas.
Went by an intersection yesterday with three gas stations. One was 4.99/gal, one was 4.39/gal and one was 4.29/gal. There were just as many cars at the 4.99/gal station filling up.
If you can't be bothered to cross the street to save $0.60 or $0.50 on each and every gallon, then folks really aren't that concerned.

Re: Iran
Wait until the food and gas shortages when the truckers strike. Then, everyone will care. Truckers are not going to pay $6 per gallon for diesel indefinitely.km1125 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2026 4:32 pm They might bitch about it, but seems not many really care about the price of gas.

Most truckers don’t pay for the fuel, the company does and passes the additional cost along the chain to you.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2026 4:38 pmWait until the food and gas shortages when the truckers strike.

Re: Iran
Do you realize how many owner operators there are now? It’s a lot. And yes, some companies make their truckers pay some of it too.Rate This wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2026 4:53 pmMost truckers don’t pay for the fuel, the company does and passes the additional cost along the chain to you.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2026 4:38 pmWait until the food and gas shortages when the truckers strike.

Re: Iran
It’s 11% according to FMCSA… that’s… not a lot. Most are therefore employees directly and are given a fuel card or company credit card to use for expenses. That cost is passed on through increases in shipping costs for the goods we need.MotorCityRadioFreak wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2026 9:44 pmDo you realize how many owner operators there are now? It’s a lot.
