Yesterday morning 4/29 (5:15am) $4.19.  Left work around 3pm it was $4.79.  This morning 4/30 at 5:15am $4.99.  This is at a speedway gas station on the corner close to work.  

 

There is something fishy going on.  

 

Fishy! Yeah, that's it

You have a small farm where you grow everything you eat and save seed for next years crops so you cost is your effort. Your neighbor buys at a world market and the cost of his goods due to 'whatever' doubles. Does yours double too? If so, not much of a point if self sufficiency is there.

Fishy as in, we're focusing on $4.79 versus $4.99, instead of why it's not $1.99.

 

Price fluctuations happen anytime all day with electronic price reader boards, seen it all the time with two stations fighting it out on opposite sides of the street. $0.20 is less than 5% on a price of $4.79.

The turnpike station was $4.55 today, they are always higher than most others due to the captive audience and the high rent they pay the state. Local up to $4.09

[Grumpy Bear]

$5.00 today. Local news says Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin are rising faster than the rest of the country due to some issues at the Whiting Indiana BP refinery.

It jumped to $4.09 from $3.89 on Tuesday, been holding steady there.

 

Diesel went from $4.99 all the way to $5.75 in the same time frame.

Mobil is up to $4.24 cash, .04 more for plastic, surrounding stations $4.19, Caddys running on empty, will bite the bullet and fill it in the am. I noticed midgrade (89) was around $5,  big jump for a couple octane points

On April 26, 2026 I paid $4.95 (Premium). Today, 5/1/2026 same brand $5.65! Both stations Shell. Mobil was $6.00 a few blocks away. So 6 days and 70 cents a gallon? 

 

If it take a $25 rise in crude to effect a dime in gas, when did crude jump to $200? 

 

My Linear Logic fuel monitor has been a rock of consistency for almost 2 year all the sudden can't hit a bull in the butt with a 2X4, and fuel economy over 5 vehicles is down about 5% across the board.  Are we playing with alcohol content (relaxed regulations)

Regular is $4.78 to $5.00. 37 to 59 cent over the national average.  This ain't Cali. 

[diyer2]

$4.50 

[OnTheReel]

87 holding strong at $4.50 here too. E85 at $3.90 is a ripoff of epic proportions. $5.70 for premium.

The expected "short squeeze" could happen soon and then people about to be really mad at gas prices. Play stupid games win stupid prizes..

[richard wysong]

Found the last station in town still at $4.09, everyone else $4.19 or higher
