Gasoline Demand -- Fourth Of July, 2021

Three tweets from the "GasBuddyGuy" today -- a huge reminder: if you have not already filled your gas tank this might be a good time to do that. I think most prudent folks would not let their tanks fall below half full. 

The tweets, with replies/comments for the third tweet. 

• One: early calcuations peg US gasoline demand for the Friday ahead of July 4 edging out any year since 2017, when the Pay with GasBuddy program began.
  

• Two: US gasoline demand this week (Sunday - Friday) now running almost 7% higher than the same period ahead of Memorial Day (2021).
  

• Three: according to GasBuddy data, Friday US gasoline demand hit a new Covid high, surging over 9% from last Friday, the highest single day for demand since 2019.
• California: should be pushing $4.85 soon (octane 91); $4.59 right now
• since March, 2020, I've refilled the tank whenever it reached 4/5 to 3/4 of a tank left; gas lines seem a very real possibility;
• lots of quibbling; those replying want more "context." LOL. I don't need any context to see $1.59 gasoline last summer and $2.79 gasoline this summer in north Texas.
