At the moment prices are around $2.52 in this area.  Prices have been volatile for a few months, ramping up and down significantly over periods of just a few days.  Not sure what's up with that.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

My area (mid-way between Dallas & Tyler) had some large-ish changes during the last weeks.  A few weeks ago the cheap stuff was at $2.62 on Friday.  By Monday it had jumped to $2.94.  Stayed there for about a week, then dropped overnight to $2.73.  It's been at $2.73 for the better part of two weeks with no change.

We've dipped down to $2.73 at a couple of stations (Wawa and Global), but oil's been on the rise so that could be headed back up.

Oil prices are jumping pretty good today on the tariff news.

It was $2.49 here yesterday.  Lowest it's been in a while.

And the volatility continues.  Gas went from $2.49 to $2.79 overnight.

And this morning WTI is down over $2 a barrel on hopes for a US-Iran nuke deal. That would likely let at least some Iranian oil back into the markets.

MOST stations in this area are running around $3.499/gal. with a few as low as $3.399.
On Wednesday, I drove to Springfield, IL for the IGOLD rally and found stations there were at $3.149 !!  :O
Because of the ozone pollution from St. Louis, we have to have those "reformulated" gas and it's always more expensive.
