What did Fistful do to cause this?
« on: July 06, 2012, 01:43:44 PM »
I head out the door at just after 8 AM to go to the VA Hurtspital and run some errands.  Gas tank is low and the station down the street is selling 87 octane for $3.089/gallon.  I fill up.

I come home at 1:30 PM and the same station is saying the same gallon of 87 octane is now gonna cost $3.149.

What did Fistful do to cause this?

And whatever it was, thank you from the bottom of my wallet for waiting until I put gas in the tank before doing whatever it was.

stay safe.

He delivered the next tanker load to that station.  After he was done manipulating the oil futures markets.

At the Safeway by my house this morning, $ 3.56 per gallon.  Down about 70 cents per gallon over the past month.

Filled up today at a Shell station at $3.099 today. Gas prices ran from $3.029 to $3.159 at various stations I passed, down about $0.80 from their peak a couple of months ago.

Wonder what the price would be if

a) The EPA wasn't meddling with mandated seasonal and regional formulations

and

b) Fed.gov wasn't requiring "up to 10% ethanol" to dilute the gas

Gas prices here are always exactly 35 cents lower than Wisconsin, so I'm assuming that's the difference in taxes.

I paid $3.33 in Effingham Illinois on Friday and $3.67 today in Monee, IL (outside of the Chicago Metro area).  At the place closest to my house it's $3.75.

I hate Illinois.  :mad:

My luck.  Diesel went from 3.189 to 3.339 at Sam's Club sometime in the last 5-6 days in East Alabama.
