Have gasoline or heating fuel prices spiked in your area - due to the KSA BS?

Not here in Maine ( not yet at least).

Filled up the car and 20 gallons in containers (I do this every Fall before Nor'easter season).

Bought 200 gallons of fuel oil at the lowest prices in years (it won't get any cheaper).

Next year, I'm installing a mini-split heat pump - and a fireplace insert in 2021 - no more ME oil shock bullshit fore me!

But that's due to all the farmers buying extra for their grain dryers after the wet year. I locked in 500 gallons a month ago, got 2 cords of oak and hickory stacked, and got the air-source heat pump last year.
