Down to $3.95 here in Humboldt County, Kaliforny.

$3.33 on the reservation Thursday. $3.69 at the three local stations.

The HEB store in Lytle TX has a discount card which is same as cash but gives an 11 cent discount. Bought gas for $2.98 this weekend. Not sure if other HEB store do the same thing or not.

Here locally one of the stores runs a gas war regularly.
It dropped it's price from $3.27 to $2.85.

It sure makes some of the local gougers nervous.

Most of south central Kansas is in the 3.09-3.19 range. Funny thing is that I work in a town that has the regional refinery and this town's gas prices run 10-15 cents more than any other town in the area.

I'm seeing a huge spread between gas and diesel prices, like $3.20 for gas and $4.25 for diesel. Cannot be good for truckers. What's up with that? Usually the spread is smaller. Is it related to fuel oil for heating?

It's a sneaky way of gouging us all.
The truckers don't absorb the difference.
Price is passed right on to the store shelf.
I don't know why people don't scream as much about it.
I guess they just don't seem to understand.

$2.99 down here right now(Exxon)

What's sad is they've trained us to feel all giddy and warm all over when the price goes down to just a little over $3.00 and now that we've passed the $3 a gallon plateau, the next one is $4 etc. but for now, we still need to be convinced that we are now paying for cheap gas as long as it's not too much over $3 and sadly it's working.

Sorry for the rant, but this is coming from someone who years ago only paid .16 cents a gallon and $1.00 worth of gas would get you a weeks worth of cruising around.

magooch · « **Reply #342 on:** November 24, 2011, 03:34:19 AM »

Yeah and don't forget that if the obamanation had his way, we'd be paying much, much more. Remember, his energy secretary said we should be paying somewhere around 8 bucks.

I've seen .16 cent gas. A dollar's worth of gas would get me two round trips to town and back home with no running around. Minimum wage was six bits an hour. When I got out of school gas was usually .25 cents but would drop to .17 or .18 cents when a gas war would break out. Minimum wage had made it to a buck an hour. I stayed broke then just like I do now.

Filled up at a CFN cardlock yesterday for $3.81. People using the branded stations are still paying $3.95.

Swampman · « **Reply #346 on:** November 26, 2011, 09:21:21 AM »

Saw some for less than $3.00 yesterday.

Conan The Librarian · « **Reply #347 on:** November 28, 2011, 03:31:51 AM »

Gas is back down to 3.09 again, in other words, back to the price I originally posted as being alarming. It's still high, but the trend has been in the right direction. Not so sure about diesel, though. I wonder if gas is cheap at the expense of diesel prices.

Ex 49'er · « **Reply #348 on:** November 29, 2011, 10:11:00 PM »

Down to $3.89 at branded stations. Don't know what the CFN's are.

Right now where I am at

Current Reg

$3.406 Mid

$3.581 Premium

$3.703 diesel

$4.103

Year Ago

Reg $3.014

Mid $3.242

Premium $3.383

diesel $3.340

'round here gas running about 30+ cents per gal higher than last year at this time.

How do they justify over 70 cent increase on diesel ? doesn't it take less costs to refine diesel ?
Diesel has gone nuts. I don't run my tractor all that often right now.

magooch · « **Reply #350 on:** December 06, 2011, 03:05:46 AM »

So now it is being reported that gasoline is being exported from the United States; there is a surplus here. It would be interesting to know what U.S. gasoline sells for in whatever countries the gas is being exported to.

Conan The Librarian · « **Reply #351 on:** December 06, 2011, 03:50:40 AM »

That was an interesting report. The flow is that we import a lot of oil, refine it, then sell the refined goods abroad where it fetches a higher price. That makes a lot of sense economically. It also says a lot about fuel use elsewhere. Now we're competing for something that has been mostly ours for five generations.

Forget foreign countries, gas in NC is $3.34 and it's $2.94 in SC. It's all about the taxes....literally. The sad part is NC is supposedly taxing our gas to pay for roads and SC's roads are better than ours. Seems the highway fund is a "slush fund" for our long line of Democrat governors.

Old Fart · « **Reply #353 on:** December 06, 2011, 09:34:38 AM »

Still hovering around $2.95 here.

no guns here · « **Reply #354 on:** December 09, 2011, 02:52:02 AM »

about 2.99 normal price here in San Antonio now. Down to 2.85 yesterday with cash card discount at the HEB in Lytle, TX.

Here in SW Washington, it's about $3.29 at Safeway after the 3 cent member discount.

ratdog · « **Reply #356 on:** December 11, 2011, 10:39:55 PM »

they are trying real hard not let gas get under 3 dollars they they are putting ethanol in it now. poor gas mileage and not good on 2cycle motors. read about e10 gas another rip off.

bobg · « **Reply #357 on:** December 12, 2011, 12:35:10 AM »

$3.59 here at the local stations. $3.33 at the reservation. Big sign at the reservation. Says NO ETHANOL. The guy that runs the small motor repair shop here in town says ethanol is the best thing that ever happen to his business.

yukondog · « **Reply #358 on:** December 14, 2011, 10:48:28 AM »

Was down to 3.15 now back up to 3.26

oldandslow · « **Reply #359 on:** December 15, 2011, 03:42:23 AM »
