Gas prices

[AdagioM]

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.

Gas prices going up quickly around here. I bought gas at Costco for $4.39 early in the week and it's up to $4.89 today, up 20 cents since yesterday.

The one here doesn’t have a gas station.

[Rontuner]

I use the GasBuddy app - especially useful while travelling.

I think I paid $4.59 yesterday at the Melrose Park Costco. $4.79 today, while the one in the city closest to us is $4.99

Thank a Republican voter!

My hometown!

Much as I love Costco, I was sad to see the Kiddieland that was on the site demolished to make way for the warehouse.

My car wants the 93 octane. Last fill was $5.99. I assume I’ll pay over 6 next fillup.

driving down the eastern side of the Sierras early next week. There’s a couple hundred miles stretch where gas will be well over seven dollars a gallon.

so I’ve been falling the oil and gas market for over 60 years. My dad worked in the industry. I graduated college in the middle of an oil embargo that led to rationing. I have owned oil and gas stocks for that for 60 year period, although I’ve been steadily decreasing the position for the last 15 years.

Here is my prediction. Sometime within the next 18 months or so , you’ll start seeing the term “oil glut “ in headlines with sharply lower prices.

This stuff is incredibly cyclical…

@dougg Interesting.

Good news.

@andyd Speaking of diesel it crossed the 6 USD mark now moving toward 7 USD.
