Just topped off today... Down again!!! $3.47/Gal for Reg. Where I grew up in LA We had refineries nearby, home of the Great Pumpkin at one time(a natural gas storage tank), technically that could be good, but actually isn't, I have asthma, so far it's just cold drinks and not My lungs, part of My stomach got there first in a hiatal hernia, ice cream is not as bad and I'm not sure why. Be glad you didn't grow up near one, though gasoline would be cheaper there, Lomita is not a lot less than here @ $3.01. Gas in SF is $3.35 at the moment. Me I'm looking at Crestline that is about twice the elevation as here and gas there is $3.45, plus it's about 25F cooler in summer and warmer in the winter, of course there are lots and lots of trees, My nephew bought a place there in July, I get to go see it in a week at Xmas. Good thing I get from 35.6-37.33mpg. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Zoom, I can't see that image in your last post. Last night when I drove past the gas station I noticed that regular (87 octane?) gas was $1.97 per gallon. This is in a small town in central Texas. That's the lowest I've seen it for a while. ~Sue~ |

I have to question whether that can be called a Jack-O-Lantern. Aren't they supposed to be carved from pumpkins, etc? ~Sue~ |

Only if you have a rigid point of view, it looks like one, so it is, tell a kid it's not and you might find they don't agree with you.

Locally (Prescott, AZ) the lowest is $2.73/gallon for regular. There was a news story the other day about a 'glitch' at a station in the Phoenix (Chandler) area where prices were $0.02 and $0.03/gallon for a few hours until the management caught it and corrected it. https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/valley/glitch-in-the-gas-tank-drivers-shocked-to-see-2-cent-gas-at-chandler-circle-k/75-356aec97-0d92-4389-9377-02998c34a259 |

The prices around me have gone up in the last several days. It's now about $2.23 a gallon before my discount. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

The prices around me have gone up in the last several days. It's now about $2.23 a gallon before my discount. Prices here have actually been dropping over the last 4-6 weeks. From around $1.54/L down to $1.29/L Grant Darwin NT |

I think oil prices have gone up a little, but whatever the case may be, I just looked on a site called "gas buddy", and there are apparently stations in town selling it much cheaper than what I've noticed near me.

According to FortWorthGasPrices (GasBuddy) prices are on a slight increase in the metro area. A gas station about 3 miles south in the next town over from my home has regular unleaded for $1.62. The gas station just outside my subdivision has it for $1.71. |

Do you think your proximity to refineries is what makes your prices so low? The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I'd say yes, gasoline doesn't have to be moved far there by tanker truck. Here the lowest price is now $3.06 on gasbuddy for 87. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Do you think your proximity to refineries is what makes your prices so low? Along the fwy here in Yermo, two stations, a Shell and a Chevron have 87 gas at $4.79, the Shell sells gas and has a Subway and a Dairy Queen too. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Just got back from some grocery shopping and topped of my gas tank for the low price of $1.629 at the station mention in my previous post. Just a few minutes before I was pulling out of the gas station a delivery tanker arrived and I watched the price exploded to $1.959 for regular unleaded! That was the largest in-day increase I have seen a local gas station jack the price in a bit over 10 years. Do you think your proximity to refineries is what makes your prices so low? I think that is part of it. Texas also has less state and local taxes on fuel (compared to other states). The Dallas/Fort Worth metro area is home to several refineries & distribution centers. The two largest are located in Arlington & Mansfield TX - right in the middle of the metroplex. |
