Gas prices

[Daniel]

I'm going to drive like a very conservative, very competent, very cautious old man.

Too many liability issues. Too many safety issues by far. Too many financial issues.

I love cars and driving but I'm too old to drive as a hobby if you know what I mean.

Been there, done that.

Many farmers are paying $5 and more for diesel.

I forgot to check the corner Shell station; last I looked it was $4.99. But I bought gas last week in the neighboring county that has lower gas taxes, so I paid $4.69 but I had points for 50 cents off, so $4.19 at Kroger. I’m planning my next Costco run to coincide with my next fill up.

Went out to do Easter dinner shopping this afternoon and filled the car with gas. $4.69 for 'plus'.

[AdagioM]

It’s $5.09 at the corner Shell station (my usual fill-up spot, with Kroger points to knock it down.)

[Rontuner]

$4.35 for regular at our local Costco, but I see $4.09 at the suburban ones.

Costco is anywhere from a dime to a quarter a gallon cheaper than other stations.

Then you factor in the 5% cash back for using Costco's credit card to buy gasoline from Costco (vs. the more typical 2% cash back using other credit cards); of course don't forget to amortize your annual Costco membership fee.

It's reached $4.29 in central Florida.

Diesel ️ seen at £1.99.9/litre
Thats nine quid a gallon.
Though much of London has it around 1.85.

Of more concern...I drove into a petrol station in Barking and only one pump out of the six had diesel remaining! People are filling their tanks.

@bernard 89? I'm assuming that's what's recommended. Outrageous $.

on the other hand, I went to the grocery store this morning and every variety of eggs they sold were available for $.98 a dozen.

I believe that is lower than last year…

Lol.

Yes and the data probably show six million Americans will now have to take the bus to buy them.

I'm expecting inflation and terrible real life job market fundamentals to engulf the US economy and sooner rather than later.
