RUG = $1.55
Ultra = $1.89
I'm all for it if it replaces bus routes and allows some people who were driving to now take the train.
Local cheapo place up a dime overnight to $1.81 for RUG. Most of the majors up a penny or two. Saw a Mobil with premium at $1.99.
I guess the majors are slower coming down AND going up.

RUG - $1.59 - $1.65
Cheapest is now $1.379
RUG= $1.63
Ultra = $1.97
What's curious is that unleaded futures for Jan delivery were way lower than the futures are now. Some PROFIT is being made for sure.
We got a jump to $1.85, and then dropped to $1.79 and lower, then a jump in a few days to $1.89, and now a jump to $1.99 for most stations. Oddly, most stations seem to have chosen $1.99 as their new price from Dayton to Cincinnati with only a few lower. The oil companies have been successful in raising the price form $1.49 or $1.55 to $1.99 in a matter of 7 days or so.
Indeed large profits are being made in the earlier slow downward move despite oil's have dropped rapidly and now with rapid up moves ("restoration" according to Speedway subsidiary representative a couple years back) the profits are back. Profits are probably greater than when prices were at $3.75.

Oil took biggest hit this morning in 7 years. Lost about $6 per barrel. So maybe the gas prices will head back down.
Still better than the $3.00+ I was paying this time last year and the $4.00+ over the spring, summer and early fall. But it kind of burns that you know this is due to taking advantage of the strife in the Middle East, which was going on anyway, the "restoration" and dead-cat bounce oil had late last week / early this week. This despite the glut of oil and gas supplies. But with the supposed cease-fire and talks starting last night I wonder if the prices are going to move down a bit.
RUG = $1.71
Ultra = $2.05
Sheesh, just 'cause a couple of idiots are lobbing rockets at each other. I didn't know Israel-Palestine was a major oil exporting nation.
I just did a chart on daytongasprices.com of Richmond VA, Buffalo, Dayon, and crude oil prices. Buffalo and Richmond are smooth graphs, but Dayton follows the crude oil price fairly closely (disregarding the tax portion of the price).
It's amazing to see the difference. Our pricing is so variable.

We have Sheetz, a regional chain out of Altoona, PA, plus one Kangaroo outlet, which is big in the Deep South. Another regional chain is Hess, which I believe is based in New York. National brands that are big here are Exxon, Shell, Chevron, and BP. We have a few smaller brands like East Coast and Excel.
Wawa, common in NJ, is making inroads into northern VA, but hasn't reached our area yet.
$2.39 diesel (down about .20 or .30 cents, depending on the station).
cash price is still a nickel less.
Finally finished my yearly fuel spreadsheet and looking over the totals I spent $720 dollars more in 2008 than in 2007. Attributing this to driving 2000 more miles than last. Over the course of 2007, the truck was down for about 1.5 months overall due to numerous $$$ repairs and 2008 included three trips to Indy (1300 miles) and overall higher fuel costs. I think my mileage will be lower this year as I'm not planning any trips or car hunts and hoping the fuel costs will be lower.
2007 -
miles driven = 17,453
fuel costs = $1,402.60
cost per mile driven = $ 0.08037 cents
Average fillup cost = $37.90
Average gallon cost = $2.77
2008 -
miles driven = 14,507
fuel costs = $1,363.06
cost per mile driven = $ 0.09396 cents
Average fillup cost = $38.90
Average gallon cost = $3.12
So all in all, I did not so bad in 2008. Only cost me an extra $1 per fillup on average.
That's great it only cost about a $1 extra per fill-up.
RUG = $1.77
Ultra = $2.11
I know I paid $1.69 for gas last week then checked another station a few miles away and it had $1.49. I got screwed out of $2.85 I can NEVER get back !!!
They're at $1.59.
I also noticed the Gas City by me, which is usually at least 20 cents higher than everyone else, was actually in-line at $1.95 for 87 octane. But it's E85 was at $1.85. There's usually 50 cents difference between that and their regular unleaded. Wonder if the $1.85 is the low point (thought it would have been maybe in the $1.50 ~ $1.60 range).
I read an article this morning on USA Today that stated buyers are moving back to large vehicles / SUVs/Trucks. Not sure if this was from dealers / OEMs to try to spur sales for the behemoths but if it is true, people sure are short-minded and don't learn too well.
Our prices have gone up a little, but not much compared to other places. I think the lowest the Shell and Citgo on my way to work got was around $1.65 for 87. There's a Shell up in Laurel that had gotten as low as $1.499. If I wanted to give one of my older cars a bit of a run, or happened to be going that way, I'd try to stop off and top off. But that Shell is up around $1.739 now.
Didn't notice a diesel price but I think it's around $2.39. The differential is still shrinking.
the pump had 1.869 on it (cash price). a couple of days later it still had the same thing, but i'm not going to spend time arguing over 47 cents.
I'm waiting for an explaination of why wholesale gas has gone up 35 cents in the last few weeks when crude oil prices are stable or actually going down. This smells like a rat I've smelt before. I thought this wasn't suppose to happen once "the oil man" left office.

Some times you make me roll on the floor laughing.....
I have wondered that same thing. I am sure there is an legitimate explanation. Maybe one of the ABC reporters will ask Obama... Or does he only give interviews to Al Jazeera?
Lots of people are paying $1.88, which is what Ford closed at today.
I filled up the van tonight for $1.76 RUG.
Traveled to Ocean City, MD this weekend, gas ranged from $1.67 to $1.77. Saw a few cheaper ($1.57) on the drive home inland.
I agree with oldfarmer50. Something is not right about the higher gas prices with oil trading at $40 a barrel.
You're right, there seems to be a total disconnect with reality again. Crude oil going down, gas supplies up because our demand is down, yet the price rises. We need a leash for the speculators. :sick:
I bought gas a week ago from this past Sunday, and then again this past Sunday. Same price both times.

The Gas City still has E85 for $1.75 with 87 octane for $1.89.
