Oil Slick Stuff

Cheapest E10 $3.299 here. I bought 20 gallons at Luke AFB for $3.339. Proves AAFES is NOT the cheapest at any given time.

While filling up another old guy in the next stall was washing his windows and said he was not buying gas here as he could get it for $3.29 at another place. Same place I looked up on the net. I asked if this was on his way and he said “no but it’s worth it”. I explained it was nine miles out of my way (round trip) and not worth it based on my vehicle and additional gas burned. His small SUV likely gets better mileage than my Dakota around town but I doubt much more. For me burning about .6 gallons at $3.499 (price of gas in the tank) v saving $.80 is a no brainer. The gentleman opined “some people will never learn” and I replied “you are right about that”.
IMHO sometimes it is not worth seeking out the cheapest gas.

PO
 
Yer right on the price thing but sometimes I do like the Old Fart does to reward the station manager for offering a lower price.
 
87 octane around me is bouncing between $3.29 to $3.49 a gallon. GasBuddy shows it as low as $3.16 about 10 miles from my house.
 
Oil Falls On Supply Growth, US Crude Drops To 16-Month Low

NEW YORK, Sept 10 (Reuters) - U.S. crude futures fell to a 16-month low and Brent to a 17-month low on Wednesday on rising supply and tepid demand as OPEC lowered projected demand for its crude and data showed U.S. refined product stocks jumped.
U.S. futures fell two cents below its previous 2014 low from January after Wednesday's report from the Energy Information Administration of a near 1 million barrel drop in U.S. crude stocks last week, a slightly smaller fall than expected.
Crude oil inventories at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for the U.S. crude oil contract traded on the New York Stock Exchange, rose by 77,000 barrels and gasoline and distillate stocks jumped by 2.4 million and 4.1 million barrels respectively

No Rebound In Sight For Sliding Oil Prices

By Nick Cunningham | Thu, 11 September 2014

Global oil prices have slid in recent weeks, a trend that shows no signs of changing in the immediate future.
The two main benchmarks for oil prices, Brent and WTI, hit their highest levels so far this year in June amid the initial onslaught in Iraq of the Sunni jihadist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Fears that the militant group would seize Iraqi oil fields pushed up prices.
Brent crude has now dipped below $100 per barrel, for the first time in over a year. WTI is trading around $92 per barrel, a 16-month low.
Prices have dropped for a few reasons.
ISIS’s advance has come to a halt and fears that Iraq’s oil production would be affected have abated.
Libya has brought some of its oil back online, with August production averaging around 538,000 barrels per day (bpd) -- more than double its average daily production from June. Libya’s National Oil Corporation says that production is now topping 800,000 bpd and could exceed 1 million bpd in October.
U.S. oil production also continues to rise. In June, the U.S. produced 8.5 million bpd, an increase of 500,000 bpd since the beginning of the year. Higher production continues to cut into imports, leaving greater supplies on the global market.
Perhaps most importantly, global demand has been surprisingly lackluster. The latest data from the U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) shows that refined product (gasoline, for example) inventories are increasing – an indication that production is overwhelming consumption. [more]
