Gas Pains!
 

Our gas prices have been mostly steady for a few months now but with the situation in Iran, people are expecting price increases for gas and oil. My usual fuel stops are unchanged from last week @ $2.38 but I did hear yesterday that at least one place 12 miles away jacked their gas price up 40 cents in one day to $2.99.
So, $2.38 here, for now.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

$4.30 yesterday on the way home. Today.....$4.35...not to bad yet.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Can you send some of that 2.38 this way?

We haven't seen that in a LONG TIME.

Could be worse though.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Locally our gas went up $0,40 per gallon also yesterday. Doubt that will be the last hike but guess the only thing to do is hold on to your seat for the ride. Just hope the ride isn't too bumpy. :waah:

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Ours went up yesterday from a recent low of $4.40 to $4.50. I would not be surprised to see more increases.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

$4.25 yesterday down here in the flatlands.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

I cant even imagine 2.38 a gallon. I seriously dont remember how long ago it was even close to that low ... Years and years. We are in the 4.40 to 4.80 range. We can get it a little cheaper if we have "points" from grocery shopping. We can also get it cheaper if we by at one of the reservations.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Gas prices were already 2.98 here and have jumped to 3.15 now and that is for 85 octane, 87 octane is 3.25. I think I waited to long to buy an electric car.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Gas went up here, was $2.69 on the way home after work yesterday, up from $2.38.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

wheres Chevy 55 when you need him,, he knew the patroleum industry quite well .. the distrbutor highway delivering gas ,, the where the oil is convered to gas at ,,all the things involved with the out come of price for gas before and after it changes in cost

Re: Gas Pains!
 

85 octane? 87 octane is the lowest available around here. I have never seen anything that recommends 85 octane, so what do you use that in?

Re: Gas Pains!
 

As expected, ours jumped 21 cents today to $2.59

Re: Gas Pains!
 

$2.39 to $2.99 here in middle Tn.

Would you be referencing 57taskforce?? lol I certainly spent some time in the industry and still know it pretty well, although I left and am working in Gas fired electricity generation these days. The prices will likely go up, but it probably won’t be as bad as it could be because we are producing so much more at home than we were 18 months ago. The prices going up right now are mostly going to be stations trying to capitalize on fear. It takes a minute for crude prices to truly cause the market to fluctuate because a lot of but not all oil commodities(especially domestic) are bought from producers at monthly rates rather than daily rates. This was the case for the producer I worked for. Around here the local stations play lots of games with prices. It genuinely pisses me off too. A few weeks ago it was 1.99 at a station along my way to work. The next day it was 2.59. It along with all the other stations in that area jumped 50-60 cents a gallon for absolutely no reason. Other stations a mile or two away were still in the vicinity of 2.20, Exactly where they had been for a week or so before. Currently id say the average is about 2.50 here up, about 30 cents since the weekend. With all that said, once we get past the current events everything should settle back out pretty quickly I would guess.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Guess I should be happy $29 for a 5 qt of Mobil1 yesterday for my :chevy: semi-annual. We're lucky oil doesn't keep up with inflation, but really sucks we're in this war, doesn't matter pro, con or on the fence. Personally I'm on the fence simply because war sucks:lol: and we aren't privy to what led to it anyway. That good or bad isn't for this board, plus Leon will come after your:devil: 👍👍

Re: Gas Pains!
 

I'm with 67_twins, what is this 85 octane? Is it ethanol free?

I remember seeing some weird gas when I was out in Colorado Springs in 2023, but I don't remember what. Here in Indiana we have 87, 89, sometimes 91, and 93. All ethanol. Some stations have 90 octane ethanol free but its upward of $4-5 a gallon, compared to ~$2.90 for 87 after these most recent price hikes

Re: Gas Pains!
 

.... :) I'm watching.... :(

Re: Gas Pains!
 

I paid $2.43 this morning at Costco.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Price jumped here, $3.09 at Kwik Trip/Kwik Star but $2.78 for E15 up the road at a small independent station.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Well 85 octane is mainly for high altitude places and low compression engines like the 79 Chevy truck or my 79 Trans Am 403. Usually anything 9:1 and below can use 85 octane.
Now 3.19 85 octane 3.39 87 Octane

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Paid 2.80 for premium (91) in my Camaro SS and Yukon Denali yesterday. Regular (86) was 2.50. Some stations around are at 3.09-3.29 for regular, but cheaper gas can still be had. This is in the ABQ metro area. I’ve seen 85 around but never ran it before.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Today's update -- $4.60 for self-serve 87 octane.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Paid $4.79/gallon for premium at CostCo, and get 5% back.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

Apparently, living close to the refinery areas doesn't make any difference when it comes to prices. That ain't right!
Our daughter lives close to the coast in La and she pays more than we do.

Re: Gas Pains!
 

I retired from Chevron Research. As a perk I get a 10 cent per gallon discount
20 gallons is only $2 but every dollar counts Right

Re: Gas Pains!
 

We can't control gas prices, or the time change from your other post. Why whine about either?
