Lovely, just lovely. We're just a pinch below 5 bucks for 87 octane already. Let's see how many more people we can drive out of the state.

$2.40 here last week.

Did you see where ump said after he is in office there will be a drilling BOOM?
Yeah and Exxon said "whoa, hold on there" !

Is was $2.40 here at Thanksgiving then jumped 18 cents in one day. Now at Christmas back down to $2.48.

**3757chevy** · 12-24-2024, 11:07 PM

Yesterday we saw it from $2.49 to $2.89 from the same supplier in different parts of town.

**Boog** · 02-11-2025, 09:01 AM

Been a couple of months so.
Ours jumps around largely these days. Instead of jumps at 2 to 5 cents at a time to 10 to 16 cents. Ours is currently $2.56. Pretty reasonable in comparison to the rest of the country so I'm grateful for that.

As a side note, with all the drivers using E powered cars these days there should be less demand for gas which should equate to lower gas prices to my way of thinking. Too soon?

**too much stuff** · 02-11-2025, 10:32 AM

Went up .37 cents in 2 days here last week. 2.99 now

Gas has gone up 25cents over the past few months . Diesel went up 65cents doesn’t seem to be any correlation anymore . Used to be the increase would be about the same

Yes more EVs in the 3rd quarter of 2024 Ford sold 20k EVs but also sold 500k ice vehicles. That’s just in 3 months so 2 million new ICE vehicles on the road and that’s just ford

**Ironhorse** · 02-11-2025, 11:34 AM

Locally about a month or so ago we got down to $2.56 which only lasted about 3-4 days. Has crept up from there to current $2.87 and has been there for nearly two weeks or more. Use Kroger gas points as we can to lessen the bite, being retired we don't use near as much gas as when I was driving 35 miles to work one way but it still never stays in the tank very long.

**Boog** · 02-11-2025, 12:28 PM

Yeah, we are both retired now too. We go into town about once a week now and with 3 vehicles to choose from we can skip the higher priced gas times and refill on the down side. I keep them at about 1/2 tank. That's my plan and I'm sticking to it.

GSP7 · 02-11-2025, 04:06 PM

Gas and Diesel are pretty cheap here in Idaho. Cross the border in to Warshington and its 'bout $1.00 more. I think Warsh has a gas tax like calif.

Whats the price in Calif now ?

Varies depending on location. I'm off the beaten path in far Northern California. $4.91

**57taskforce** · 02-11-2025, 06:03 PM

2.49 here when I put regular in my K2500 last night. The day before I filled up the Camaro with premium and it was $2.89 I believe.

truckin 79 · 02-11-2025, 07:41 PM

Yeah last week it was 2.79 and the other day it was 3.10

I spoke too soon. Just went to the store and noticed gas prices jumped another 20 cents, now $5.11.

Hah! That'll teach me to complain about a lousy 20 cent increase! Today, they tacked on another 30 cents. Half a buck in 2 days seems a bit excessive.

**Boog** · Yesterday, 02:19 PM

Mike, man, there ought to be a law against it, really!
Result of the recent refinery fire?

**Boog** · Yesterday, 02:21 PM

Ours just jumped 14 cents to $2.70

Diesel here in Wenatchee @ $4.17 a gallon.....drill baby drill!

**Accelo** · Yesterday, 05:24 PM

In November, I was in New Zealand, and fuel (after converting to dollars) was a nominal $8 gal.
Fuel was less in Austraila.
The fuel prices have only gotten worse because of the strong dollar, which is how Petro was purchased.

I am including a couple of pictures. One is of the pump total after the truck in the other picture filled up.
He only had three 40-foot trailers. Legally they can haul five and an additional 20 footers behind that.

I remember paying $4.20 a gallon for fuel 15 years ago. I see little to complain about.

**kwmech** · Yesterday, 11:07 PM

Gas was almost down to 4 bucks a gallon a few weeks ago here. Went up to almost $5 and paid $4.68 just the other day. Not under $4 here for many years now. There is hope in the horizon.

I haven't heard a reason, but that's a good possibility. Or our guvnor may have snuck in another fuel tax increase (he seems to like those).
