Just got the new car today, and it has a full tank of gas...so I'll be happy for a few weeks.
2021 Kia Soul LX 6-speed stick
So, I filled up my '98 Nissan Frontier last night for its highest total ever - around $33.50 for 13.4 gallons (tank only holds 15.9 gallons).
Yeah, it's time to ditch that silly 9/10th of a cent. It might have meant something when gas was 30 cents a gallon, but it's just stupid now.
Obviously, if the price goes up, the oil companies make more money. I don't think they're behind the scenes manipulating the speculators though.
If only we could send the terrorist thugs who took out the World Trade Center and all of their cronies on a one-way trip to Mars. That way, they can turn back the clock to the first millennium or shoot each other first as their oxygen runs out, whatever, just so the we don't have to deal with them anymore.
I mean, we had maybe 10 years from the fall of the bad-guy Commies to the rise of these creeps! The world deserves better!

I remember paying 98 cents for 89 octane back around Christmas 1998. I remember taking a long trip in 1996 and not smiling about paying $1.65 for the same gas.
$2.89 for premium at Chevron in Bellevue WA.
And unfortunately, it still seems economical to operate those blasted gas powered leaf blowers.
Regular gas went down to about 80 cents/gallon here, the stock market was booming, and some economists were declaring that recessions were a thing of the past.
I knew even then it was too good to be true.
But I never thought we'd have anything like 9/11.
I wonder if a national average of $3/gallon will have any psychological implications for the economy. It's a barrier. I'm glad I don't own a big SUV or sell them.
I filled up Saturday on the way out of Columbus for 2.51.
When I got back on Sunday the same station was down to 2.48. And it was 2.41 today in the small town where I work, down almost 20 cents from last week.
mid $2.579
super $2.679
diesel same as 87, $2.459. First time in a long time.
87 - $2.539
89 - $2.639
93 - $2.719
94 - $2.759
diesel - $2.459
(sigh)

89 - $2.579
93 - $2.679
All at Hess.
Liberty is $2.489 for 87.
Sheetz is still at the "standard price" of $2.499 for 87 and the same for newly installed diesel.
89 = $2.729
93= $2.829
94 Ultra = $2.919
In Manayunk and South Philly, the prices are at least 7 cents more per grade.
87: $2.759
89: $2.829
93: $2.919
I think the Citgo is something like...
87: $2.699
89: $2.769
93: $2.859
87 was 2.959
89 was 3.059
93 was 3.159
Ouch. In this area go to the Costco in Laurel, MD and you'd save a fortune.

There's a Costco in Laurel?! Isn't that awfully close to their Arundel Mills store? :confuse:
My son who just moved to LA says 87 there is $2.699 at Arco (with ethanol blended in), and $2.739 at many other places.
I never thought the East Coast would exceed CA in prices!
Fortunately for me, gas taxes are lower in VA than in MD.
I use BP/Amoco, Exxon and Chevron and have gone to Costco when I'm in that area (12 miles from the house). I really don't know what kind of gas Costco uses but octane is octane, right?
I've always kinda stuck to the name brands and usually never go to Citco, Arco (because it's cash only and not regular credit card). I never use 7/11 gas or Circle K or those type of stations that are small. I guess I have this false sense that the gas is not as good there.

My old MB tech insisted on Chevron gas, and techron fuel system cleaner. So I've used that for the past few years.
i have my doubts about there being much of a difference, save for proprietary additives
Cheap gas is 5+ miles or so from my house, anything closer is pricey.
I always fill up if I'm in VA for any reason. Even Tysons Corner is a lot cheaper than anything in Montgomery County.
The Costco is on Route 1, maybe it's not quite Laurel, what's that town north of College Park called?
-juice
But boy is it ever cheap!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I routinely find gas to be cheaper in MD on the way to the coast, and sometimes it is a little cheaper than that in Rehoboth Beach, DE. However, it was not this past weekend, as gas was at 2.59.

I go to the same beaches and gas is cheaper in OC, MD, than it is in any of the beaches in Deleware.
Denton is the boondocks to me!

"The oil market is starting to respond to every piece of news the market can muster -- a tell tale sign of deep speculation within the sector.
Not unlike the jittery low conviction speculators of the dot-com era, once traders begin to exit positions on light news and inelastic tops, the turn is usually not far away."
Stagnant at $2.89 for premium at Chevron in Bellevue WA
In my Frontier, I have to fill up only about every two weeks, and in the Camry my wife drives, fill ups are even less frequent (unless we use it for a long trip).
How will the hurricane affect prices? I heard that about 30% of refinery output for US is in that vicinity?
Keep in mind I see big differences in prices. I drove to Solomon's Island, MD, and got gas on the way back for $2.599. Near my house it was $2.829.
Half a tank is about 8 gallons so that's still about two bucks less, plus I went ahead and got a drink so the stop wasn't wasted.
Locally prices had dropped, at least as of last night. That station was $2.959 last week, $2.829 last night.

By the time I drove back home, the one station that had held at $2.55 was up 4 cents to $2.59 and there were people lining up at the pumps.
I can't believe how people are being stampeded. What do they think is going to happen if they get everyone to rush to the pumps and fill up? I can see it now...Rush on the pumps causes short term dip in supply. Prices move up in reaction.
(primal scream alert)
AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH
I'll let you know what's happening in a couple of hours when I go back out to pick the kid up again.
