I stopped at a big truck stop along I-70 a few days ago, and gassed up at $1.91....that's the lowest I've seen yet.
 

Our gas here in Pa. is $2.49 but we crossed over into Ohio and got it for $2.05. Lucky we live within walking distance to the border. Filled 3 cans and a pickup.

It's been creeping up here too. Which is fine with me. I want to see a spike in inflation in the third quarter because that's the data that our social security COLA will be based on. :bigwink:

Our gas cost has gone up slightly since my earlier answer a while back. Our new SUV uses premium fuel, so this week's fill-up was $3.19/gall.

Where I live in Canada now the price is 111.9 per litre which works out to about $4.00 per U.S. gallon.

But we can drive to the nearest native reserve and there is no Federal tax and there is a savings of about 16 cents per litre.
 
Hi & low here. Funny how some here will drive around using $2.00 worth of gas to save the 20 cent per gallon difference.


Today 2.538 2.331 Prices Stable

We live in a college town. More decades, the college schedule, holidays, etc. determine our gas prices. Students returning this week and the next few. So, we saw gas prices go up a dime day before yesterday. They will remain there until the first home football game. We'll see another hike the day before the game and through that weekend. Depending on football schedule, they will either stay high or come back down a tad. Our fuel prices are controlled by two entities. We have one local multi-millionaire who owns almost all the convenience stores in town. We have a major grocery chain with a couple fuel outlets that do a tremendous volume. These two own, probably, 95% of our local fuel outlets.
 
I filled up for $2.05.9 a gallon yesterday.

Is anybody else bothered by the stupid practice of always putting 9/10 of a cent at the end of the price?

I hate it.

It ought to be against the law to price anything with a fraction of a cent.

I mean it was ridiculous back in the day when gas was 29.9 cents a gallon.

Now it's ten times as ridiculous.:mad:
 
Gas has gone down since late July / early Aug........I just paid $2.04 per gallon for 100% 89 octane gas this morning and the last time I topped off the pickup it was $2.22.
 
$2.40/Gallon here....the price shot up 35 cents the day after Hurricane Harvey hit, and hasn't retreated any since. I'm just glad that we didn't see the prices rise by $1 or more.
 
Most of the stations here have stabilized around $2.50 a gallon. A month ago the average was around $2.10.
 
Before the hurricanes, our price for regular gasoline was under $2 per gallon by a few cents, depending on where you fueled up. Once Harvey hit the Gulf, and devastated the refineries there, it started going up, and a day or so after the hurricane, it was $2.30. It has been slowly rising; but seems to have stabilized (for the time being) at just under $2.50 per gallon at most stations, and a little cheaper when you use discounted stations, like Sam's Club .
As always when this happens, it is only gasoline that the price changes, and if you buy a quart of oil for your car, the price is still the same as it was before.

The price of oil mystifies me. I always do my own oil/filter changes. A few years ago, when gasoline was flirting with $4 a gallon, I was buying 5 qt. jugs of Pennzoil for about $11. Then, when the price of gas started coming down, the price of these jugs of oil went up to about $17 (at Walmart), and have stayed that high ever since. I guess the oil companies figured if they were having to take lower profits on gas, they would make up for it on motor oil.

Up until about 10 years ago I used to do all mine too. But then the cost of the oil and filter at places like Walmart got so high that the savings of doing it myself just wasn't worth the hassle.

I try to do all my vehicle maintenance because I like to work on things. One time, when we still lived in the city, and I was rushed for time, I took the car to one of these Jiffy Lube places for an oil/filter change, and about 3 days later, I nearly blew the engine because the "technician" there probably only hand tightened the drain plug, and I blew all the oil out onto the street. luckily, I was able to quickly stop, and after I had the car towed to a shop, and a new plug and oil installed, the car survived. After that, I don't trust any auto shop repairs until I verify what they did...and I Only take a vehicle to a shop if it is still under warranty. Heck, I started working on cars when I was a teenager, and going to the drag strip...Price of repairs/maintenance is of little importance...I just want the job done right, the first time.
