Oil Slick Stuff

Sort by newest Sort by date
On 2/20 E10/87 was $2.149 here in valley of the eternal brown cloud at the normally cheapest place. Arco at 43rd Ave and Roosevelt if any Phoenix locals care. Up, down, like a merry-go-round here. Not even worth shopping around for 10 gallons every other week.

This beats the local Safeway/Fry's stations even with the points in case nnuut is curious. Good deal though, I try to use those points before they expire.

HoHum. Will not drive all over the valley to save $1-2. For those using a lot more fuel it is definitely worth it. Price is beyond us mere mortal's control anyway.

[h=1]Gas Prices Are Heading Back Toward $3 a Gallon:nuts:[/h] By Alison Sider

Remember $3 gasoline? Prices could get there again soon, according to Oil Price Information Service.
This summer’s driving season is likely to be the most expensive since 2014, according to OPIS analysts, with drivers expected to pay an average of $2.79 a gallon for gas. That’s nearly 11% higher than the current national average price of $2.518 a gallon, according to AAA. And prices in some cities are likely to top $3 a gallon.
That means the typical driver is likely to pay $167.40 for fuel in April, up from $143.40 a year ago.[more and more]

AAA: Spring gas prices could approach a 'tipping point' for drivers:eek:
Video:

  • According to AAA, the average cost of a gallon of unleaded regular is about 25 cents more than this time last year.
  • The national average price could reach as high as $2.70 per gallon this spring.

If it seems to be costing you more cash to fill up your tank these days, you're right.
"We've gotten accustomed to cheaper gasoline over the past couple years," Robert Sinclair, AAA Northeast Manager of Media Relations told CNBC's On The Money in a recent interview.
According to AAA, the average cost of a gallon of unleaded regular is about 25 cents more than this time last year.
With fewer miles driven, and less demand during the cold winter months, winter gas prices are usually lower. Why the price spike now?[more]

FWIW even the cheap gas is around $2.45/gal around here. Tank getting below 1/4 so gotta figure out where to buy that 10-11 gallons to save that $.60 to $1.75. I do feel for those of you who use a lot more gas than I do. I just can't see running all over the place to save a couple bucks. Plus the Polar Bear killing pollution I would add to the atmosphere.

[h=1]Americans Face Highest Pump Prices in Years[/h] [h=2]Continuing production cuts by major exporters have sent gas prices higher:nuts:[/h]
Americans are spending more at the pump than they have in years. Prices could rise even higher just as drivers hit the road for family vacations.
“This summer, in terms of average gas prices, will likely be the highest since 2014,” said Patrick DeHaan, petroleum analyst at GasBuddy, a fuel-tracking app. “There’s been very little question about that.”
Crude prices have jumped thanks to continuing production cuts by major exporters. As a result, gasoline is also becoming more expensive. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, average regular retail gas prices reached $2.70 a gallon last week—the highest level since 2015.
While higher fuel prices could herald an end to the glut that has plagued the energy market since 2014, they also threaten to dampen demand and hit consumers in their pocketbooks.

[h=1]Americans Hit With Skyrocketing Gas Prices As OPEC Cuts Production[/h] Jason Hopkins


Americans are getting hit with high gas prices as OPEC members and other oil-producing nations have acted to slow production.
Jumping eight cents over the past two weekends, the U.S. national average for a gallon of gasoline reached $2.74 for regular grade. The current average is 30 cents more than what it cost to fill up in 2017 due in large part to rising crude oil prices. The San Francisco Bay area was hit with the highest national average among the contiguous 48 states at $3.63 a gallon, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was the lowest at $2.37.
Forecasters do not believe the pain at the pump to subside any time soon. A petroleum analyst predicted the upcoming summer travel season to be the costliest in years, in a statement to a Wall Street Journal reporter published Sunday. “This summer, in terms of average gas prices, will likely be the highest since 2014,” Patrick DeHaan, a senior analyst at GasBuddy, a fuel-tracking app, said.
“There’s been very little question about that,” he added.[more]
