Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Maybe not.... We're at $5.70 for 87 octane regular, and a few cents higher at the local Valero. Haven't looked at diesel prices lately.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Gas prices as off late are nothing but price gouging. All the gas companies have recorded record profits. Heck all the prices you see from food to electric bills are price gouging. Kind of funny gas companies are producing so much oil they are exporting more then they import now.

Like someone mentioned it is entertaining how if you go block to block gas is up or down by .10. I forget what gas station it is but if you pay cash it is .10 cheaper.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

On June 27th 2023 the per barrel cost of oil was $67.68. On Sept 18th 2023 that price was $91.47 and it remains over $90 today. The raw material for refineries costs more so it's no surprise that their product will in turn be priced higher.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

I drove past Chevron today $5.599 regular

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

So quit driving. I won't extrapolate....

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Good Maybe you can intercede

The opposite of extrapolate is intercede. Other antonyms for extrapolate include:
Doubt
Be at cross purposes
Be clueless
Be mistaken
Be puzzled

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

I don't even know the gas prices around here anymore. It seems every time I drive past a station(s) there is a different price.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

The price I pay to be able to surf and snow ski on the same day! :haha::haha:

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Meh, that's a week old. Prices are now tipping on the 6.00 mark. Still stuck driving my Toyota, can't afford to drive my trucks or Suburban

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

$6.51 at local Chevron for Supreme. I usually fill at the 1/4 full mark which is about 12 out of my 19 gallon tank. Todays bill was $78

A couple days ago we went up a dime, and just this morning added 20 cents more. Now $6. :(

By the way in my area,
We are at $3:14 for Unleaded;)

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

You lucky dogs! CostCo is the lowest around at $5.89 for regular.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Oh Yeah
I think about this often.
How fortunate this area is.

I took a Trip to Missouri which was Out of pocket for me.:uhmk:

So, I filled up here.

Then on the way back I needed gas Again;)

So, I passed some that was $0.30 higher :lol:

Then all the sudden no exits had gas stations.

I was in No man's land.

Luckly I got to the next station without Running out.:ito:

And it was only $0.15 cents higher.

For a minute I thought I was going to be Hoofing it.

I was a Lucky dog Again :lol:

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

A couple of weeks back we went to Florida for a week and was surprised to find gas only 25 to 30 cents higher than ours in the low $3 range.
No more than we drive around home I am usually able to fill up when the price is at it's lowest and drive on that through the next rise and fall. Doesn't always work, but sometimes it does. When it does, I feel like it's a WIN!

Currently ours dropped this week to $3.14.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

$ 5.55 per gal today! Yippee! :(

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Around here it varies quite a bit from one side of town to the other, somewhere between $3.45-$3.65

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

2.20 a litre in Vancouver B.C. about 9 dollars a gal.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

The unthinkable has happened!

A couple weeks ago our gas was $6 / gallon, then a few days ago it dropped by 10 cents. Fine. Yesterday it went to $5.50, a four-bits cut in just a few days time!

Pardon my excitement -- it's such an odd event, I just had to share. :chevy:

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

.

2.99 today! :four:

-klb

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Driving home today.

I Noticed we are $2.98 a gallon.

Two weeks ago we were at $3.29 at some places.

I have been watching and just wondering?

There is 4 gas stations close together that I can Almost predict the price tommorrow :uhmk:

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Really hard to find under 5 bucks these days

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Gas stops along the same street usually tend to be within a few cents of each other. Across town is a different story.
I remember some 40 years ago a small no name gas stop across the street from a large Exxon gas stop was told by owners to stay at least 2 cents a gallon below anywhere else. They said if the others drop theirs to 2 cents per gallon, start giving it away!
Now days, at least around here, these guys are all over the place in regards to prices and patterns.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

There is something funny going on here. There is a Speedway station a few miles outside the outerbelt that has been consistently a minimum of 20 cents lower than anyplace else. They were $2.99 and most others where at least $3.19, some at $3.25. This was all over the last couple of weeks, fairly stable.
Then last week it went upsidedown. Now that station is higher than the competitors, not by much $3.15 vs $3.25, but why?
When I was young, working in a Shell station, the margin was about $0.04/gal.
It varied slightly, a fraction of a penny or so, but that's it.
Today it must be substantially higher, but I have no idea how high?

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Down as low as $3.05 in most places

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Locally here in our little town 87 octane corn squezzins is $3.19, in the "big city" aka Wichita I heard $3.11 but haven't seen it with my own eyes. Probably next week when have I have to make a Wichita run will check into that.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

3.29 was the cheapest on Tuesday when I topped off. I used midgrade in the Bronco but I had .60 cents in fuel points so I paid 2.99 per gal.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

$5.20 here for the past week or so.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

$3.19 in Silvertown

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

$3.08 here in town today. Was in Wichita yesterday and stopped at a Quick Trip with $2.83 a gal for 87 octane corn squeezins. Been a LONG time since I've seen it under $3.00 a gallon. Hope the down ward slide continues but not holding my breath given the situation in the world today.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

In my area we are in the $2.60 - $2.70's range.

I chicken out and filled up at $2.79. :lol:
It dropped again the next day.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

It's been dropping here. A few weeks ago I was seeing variations as much as 60 cents between stations. I've been buying at two places that are cheapest in my county seat, since it's on my route lately. It finally broke below the $3.00 per gallon for regular mark

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

$2.75 here. A guy can be all confused right now. Don't know whether to go fill up all the vehicles in case it shoots back up right away or wait on it to see if it drops even farther. :lol:

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

First time in a LONG time gas has finally dropped below $3.00 a gallon. Just yesterday here in town seen it a $2.99 a gallon. Not far below the $3 price but it qualifies. :lol:

Gas in Wichita has been really odd. Some stations at the $3.19 mark and others from the same company brand (Quick Trip) are at $2.86 a gallon in a different section of town. Still seems odd to me, both are from the same company and as much as $0.33 cents difference between stations?

Not holding my breath but am hoping the downward trend continues. :chevy:

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

yesterday morning going in town it was $2.89 an hour later coming back home it jumped back to $3.19

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

Washington State still has the same ridiculous $3.70-$5.00 per gal rate.

Re: Gas Prices - Part 2
 

I feel your pain. We just went down a dime.... to $5.10 per gallon.

Other than that, how are things in Wenatchee? I lived there for awhile in 1968 when I was working in Cashmere. Beautiful country, as I recall. Lots of orchards, and lots of cops. :burnout:
