Always that one guy speaking in litres 

 

Huge difference KY/OH to Indiana over the past few days.  Was $4.19 at home and around 3.39 where we traveled.  Ended up paying $3.79 on our way home.  Indiana gas taxes are terrible (5th highest in nation)

I filled my Odyssey and Ridgeline before the increase. Thinking I’ll make the turn around. The Ridgeline is approaching 1/4 but the Odyssey is over 3/4. I’m thinking I’ll make it. The wife’s Genesis didn’t it cost 5$ more to fill up. Isn’t amazing how a drop per barrel takes longer to reach the pump than vice versa. Well no not really.

$3.98 to $4.45 for 87 E-10 today. $4.19 seems about the most common.

3.34 Kroger’s Montgomery TX

Diesel at $7.09/gallon near Seattle.

 

Know what's affected by the price of diesel? Everything. The more times we win this conflict with Iran the more the price of fuel seems to go up.

$3.47 RU. Diesel $4.74

[Grumpy Bear]

Premium now up almost $2 a gallon here. Pre conflict I bought local at $3.47 for Shell and today $5.37 at XOM. Cost per mile has doubled from lows and up 50% from the median.  

 

Laugh at my 55 mpg Mirage now Truck is parked.

Somehow still at $3.30 a gallon in town, other places are 20-30 cents higher.

 

Diesel back to around $4.89-4.99 everywhere but Flying J/Loves trucks stops that way over $5.00 a gallon.

 

Premium ranges a lot, anywhere from $4.10-4.70 a gallon.

It's the silliness in range that I find confusing. Huge spreads. Not just station to station but grade to grade like no one has any idea how much graft to grab.

It makes zero sense.

 

The BP in town is always the cheapest gas or I could say they are last station to move on price. They are independently owned and run as a BP station. Their spread on fuel is different from everyone else too. If 87 octane is $3.30 the 93 octane is roughly $4.30.

But if you go literally across the street to Holiday, it's a different price for their 91 or 92 octane.

 

Then the Amoco Fuel station is $4.10 for 93 octane, and is has been 80 cents higher than 87 octane the last few times I've gone there.

 

And lastly we have Kwik Trip, the 87 octane tends the match the other stations but then the 91 octane fuel is always $1.20 more per gallon than 87 octane. But then some stations offer a 92 octane that is less because it's E10.

 

And every single fuel station gets the same fuel from the same refinery that is 45-50 miles southeast in Rosemount, MN. It's the same stupid fuel, same Top Tier BS fuel that every single station says they run but the spread in fuel can be so different.

 

And don't get me started on the fact that all of those fuel stations like Holiday, BP, Speedway, Kwik Trip etc etc will run different fuel prices just based on the city you live in. I'm in the north metro where fuel in cheaper but I'm further away from the source compared to the South Metro cities that are currently 30 cents higher in fuel costs. These huge companies own all of these stations but never charge the same amount for the fuel they are selling.

 

I drive all over the place for work and have people tell me they will drive 3-4 miles into the city next door to them to save 30 cents a gallon because the Holiday stations owned by the same company don't charge the same amount for the same fuel. I recall that a news station did a story on it one time a while ago, before this price jump even happened and they couldn't even tell us why these companies do it.

Same situation here. There is a chain of Mobil stations all owned by Kelly Oil and everyone is priced differently. They claim they are told how to price. Make sense of that. 

 

Every station in norther Illinois gets it's E85 from the same blender. Price runs $2.19 at BP to $3.75 at Meijer's.  

 

Last night we went for a drive and I ducked into a few stations (no one billboards premium anymore). $4.98 to $5.47. 

 

I can literally drive 30 miles to Rochelle and buy E85 ($2.19) in the truck instead of buying 87 E-10 local ($4.19), give up 25% of my fuel economy and still save enough for a Dave's single meal at Wendy's.

In high school I worked in a gas station pumping gas, the owner had quite a few gas stations. I would go to a different station location when needed. His prices were always higher in nicer areas'.

I used to play poker with a guy that owned a local gas station. One day at the table he was complaining that selling gas was not worth it. He made more money on in store purchases. If I remember correctly I think he said he made 12 cents a gallon.
