So what's everone paying for gasoline?

[Ben]

Tried to check GasBuddy and it's jammed

Interesting. I tried here and all the stations near me are showing dashes where the price should be (using the map function). Prices closer to Boise are showing around $3.10, but I'm wondering if that's right, because Costco is showing $3.15, and places like Chevron are never cheaper than them. I guess prices are fluctuating too fast for the software.

I can't even get into it, all I get is the loading graphic followed by a Try Again button.

No problem at all getting into GasBuddy for me. I've seen stations near me rise a couple of cents a gallon over the last 48 hours, but nothing explosive.

[K Frame]

I filled up last weekend, and I've still got 3/4rs of a tank. And, being so close to work right now, a tank is lasting me nearly a month so I should be good through this mess.

$2.89 here in the NE corner of Indian Territory.

[Jim147]

$2.77 out here in middle of nowhere. Up almost ten cents from last week.

[Brad Johnson]

$2.59 just now. Jumped about ten cents last week but came back down over the weekend. Nothing out of the ordinary at any stations I passed on the way in after lunch.

Today is the first time I ever put premium in a car.

I wish this happened last week. If this happened last week I could have just laughed. Instead, I had to get premium *expletive deleted*ing gas. *sigh* $3.19 a gallon.

I predict that what little was left in C-ville is probably gone by now (or will be by 5 pm)

Post on Nextdoor

Erica Pease my wife just showed me a video of a woman literally pumping gas into a garbage bag and putting it into her trunk. There was no container inside the bag but atleast she did double bag it! OMG!

Would like to see that video

Edit: Think I found it and it's from Dec 2019 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7784271/Woman-pumps-gas-plastic-bag-puts-trunk-car.html

The one station near my house went from $2.89 to $3.06 overnight. Screw them.

The others haven't budged over the last 2 days. The Citgo did go up 4 cents on Sunday, I believe.

[MechAg94]

Filled up yesterday.  $2.53 per gallon.  Much higher than a year ago.

[MechAg94]

Always use the proper container.

Better than a plastic bag.

Quite a few of the stations around my house are out of gasoline right now.

No they aren't. That's white supremacist propaganda. Get an electric car.

And hope the power grid doesn't get hacked or the windmills don't freeze up.

I saw yesterday that a reporter set up Biden's energy secretary with a softball question that led to her saying (paraphrased) "If we had more electric cars, this wouldn't be happening". These people.

8-Bit Guy on YT made a good point in his house got ruin in Texas video about the Chevy volt. Say what you will about the car but you do have the option of either filling it or charging it or both.

I call BS on the "temporary" part.
