Gas Prices - Part 2

[Boog]

I realize there are varying results using egas.
With that said, I have bought high octane/ethanol free gas for the lawn equipment only a couple of times but 99% of the time I just use 87 octane with up to 10% ethanol blend and so far have never experienced any engine troubles. I used one riding mower 18 years and another 12 years and never even changed the spark plugs in them. I sold each one running great when I bought a new one. I have always had an acre to take care of.
I do store my equipment in the shop and I usually run the units out of gas so none sits in the carb over the cold months.
I have seen some corrosion inside some small engine carbs others have posted though.

On a brighter note, I found an outlet for non-ethanol. Only one hour away and after taxes & fees, just over $9 per gallon. I was so happy, I bought 2 gallons!

Wow !!! Our non ethonal 91 is 4.45 a gallon . Regular is 3.67 I bought diesel for 3.61 first time in years it was less than regulars gas . Not rejoicing it’s still to high

[Stocker]

Ours is still at $5.30. Our illustrious guvnor said he's going after Big Oil because they are price gouging. Speaking of gouging, he seems perfectly happy to have Calif fuel taxes at or near the highest in the nation. Hmmmmm...

[Stocker]

Well, we crept up another dime today, now it's $5.40 (cash). I guess the governor's chat with Big Oil didn't go as planned....

[yuccales]

$4.79 today. Was $4.69 for quite some time. Hope that dime goes to a good cause.....

[Palf70Step]

Went up $.20 since yesterday 2.76 to 2.96 at the cheaper places. Most other places tend to be 10 to 15 cents more than that.

[1slo64]

Sitting at $3.09 for 87 around my house and $2.99 for 87 near work across town. When I filled up my mustang a couple weeks ago E0 87 was $3.99.

Good grief! Has there been a refinery blow up or something lately?
We've been hovering around the $3.00 mark for many weeks now but this week the jackwads around here hiked the price 18 to 20 cents in one day. Highest one here is now $3.41 (circle k ). Places here normally change by up to 10 cents at a time. Our lowest here was $3.09 Monday and is now $3.27. Wazzup?

Same has happened here.

We went up to$3.45 from the $3 dollar range.

It went down a Dime yesterday.

I don't follow oil pricing but I do follow stock market and it's been going up steadily lately and I figure oil is going up as well. Sure 'nuff it is. It's just large spikes at the pump are very rare around here.

[LONGHAIR]

It had been around $3.10-$3.19 for a couple of weeks, then spiked to $3.59

[DeadheadNM]

Three year graph of oil price per barrel fwiw

[Gotenntitans]

$3.34 in south Arkansas.

[3757chevy]

It went up from 3.89 to 3.99 tonight while I was out of town for a few hours.

[Ironhorse]

Gas here is again at $3.59 just within the last few days for 87 octane corn squeezins. Wife said her Tahoe was low on gas with low fuel light on. Had some errands to run so told her I would fill it at the station while I was out and about. Used our $0.40 off points from Kroger so was actually $3.19 per. 28 gallons later at $91.00 the Tahoe no longer had a low fuel light on but my wallet sure did tho,

I remember the days gone by that $91.00 was a used car payment. As Bob Dylan used to say.....Oh, the times they are a changing.

[Stocker]

Supposedly going up because of shortages of product -- because of Saudi Arabia reducing their output.

Regular was $5.50 here yesterday. I haven't checked it today.

[Boog]

You can bet your sweet bippy they are going to adjust the oil output to command the most profits. They aren't rich enough, yet.

Golden rule: They who have the most gold, rule..

[Ironhorse]

Despite what a LOT of folks think, Saudi Arabia has NEVER been a friend to the United States thru the years. If not for US and British oil exploration after WW2 most of those oil sheiks would STILL be riding camels and living in tents!

TOTALLY AGREE to the above statement also, so I refrained from what I wanted to post. Don't want to be the one to have my own thread closed and locked.

To bad we don’t have any in our own country we can get

Don't think I've heard that phrase since Dan & Dick were on Laugh-In.

In all the many times that I watched Rowan & Martin's Laugh In, I never heard anyone explain just what a "sweet bippy" was. Still have no idea!

[Boog]

I usually keep enough in our vehicles to ride through a price surge like this but the surge outlasted me this time. Saudis just said their production cut will last another month or more. All of our trucks need gas now. Currently our lowest price is $3.35.

[DeadheadNM]

Congratulations to the citizens of Oregon who, after more than 70 years, now have the freedom to pump their own gas. Lol.
