This is crazy

Gas is $4.359 a gallon at our local store today, two weeks ago it was $4.169.

 

1000% agree. He was a fart smella... I mean smart fella.

 

Before I retired in 2015 I had a 3/4 ton truck , 10mpg with a strong tailwind . Gas was getting up there and the truck was ridiculous on gas mileage . Went car shopping for something I could use to drive back and forth to work .
Bought a 2014 new Volt . That was the best car I’ve ever owned . Sold it last year as I really didn’t need 2 vehicles and bought a a new 2020 3/4 ton with a 6.6 liter gas . Get 20 mpg on highway . I’ll say this , these auto companies have really stepped up the design and engineering. Of course I now have a 35 gallon tank and at $4.39 it takes a chunk of money to fill it .

 

A few years back we got rid of the Ford Super Duty 250 (10 or 11 mpg) for a new Silverado LD. Around our area it gets 20 to 23 mpg depending how you drive and it's a better riding truck.

Gas in Potsdam NY is $4.399 and the diesel here in our small town is $6.499.

 

We have seen gas on this trip in MI and Indiana $4.49, We have stopped at a few Marathons and gotten our .05 off.
Flying J truck stop in Ohio had it for $3.89, of course I had filled up recently...

 

I just came back from my old hometown about an hour ago, regular gas at Stewart's was $4.55 a gallon.

They said today that there is record low diesel inventory on the east coast.

 

Been right at $4.00 around here for a while. Less thatn the $4.30 it was a couple of months ago. Had to fill up over the weekend and paid $4.05/gal. Fortunately I don't have to fill up but every 3-4 weeks.

 

Use to be $60 to fill up my truck late 2020 early 2021! Just filled up other day was over $84.70 for regular. Put premium in my 5gal gas tank for lawn equipment $23.49.......BRUTAL.....

 

With a 36 gallon fuel tank the pump shuts off at 100$ And there is still room for 10 gallons.

 

Yup... couple of towns over from us went from 4.09 3 weeks ago to 4.46 today. And diesel... ... is way over 6. I've been working part time for a school trans dept for 7 months now. It must be a horror show dealing with the fuel costs. I drive a van and have been really lucky. Because I live close to the station, my boss lets me bring it home, saving a lot of I put 19.5 gals in today, of reg gas... it was the 3rd fill up this week...

Gonna be an interesting year...

 

I burn AT LEAST 20 gallons a day. Luckily I’m reimbursed mileage so I actually can make out overall. But it sucks. I dread having to take my truck this weekend to the wife’s mothers. That is over $200 to fill. I did stop in Lincoln this afternoon and diesel was only $2.14 vs $2.34 plus everywhere else. I do get some major fuel discounts at certain stations because I’m a volume buyer and some I do a debit pay directly from my bank instead of running credit card.

 

Typo?

 

Oooops my head is still remembering the good ol days of just 16 months ago. $4.14 vs 4.34.

 

It's all supply and demand, with some opportunistic gouging going on especially with heating oil. If a distributor doesn't have about a. 50c spread between on road and off road/heating oil, he's gouging his customers unless there's something I don't know. All 3 are the same product with the exception of the identifying dye to single out the state and federal (road) tax.

 

It won't stop until we're into another depression. Already had one called the great depression, I wonder what this one will be called?

Then we can all learn to speak chinese or russian

 

HHO is not low sulphur.

 

I thought "they" made them take out the sulphur several years ago?
