So, gas at $5.00/gal? [View all]

Get your child molesting motherfucker, “I did that” decals ready, MAGATS.

Global crude prices continued to surge on Tuesday on worries the tensions could disrupt oil infrastructure and push up fuel prices, adding inflationary risks.

Brent crude popped 8% along with West Texas Intermediate futures.
