Fuel prices tipped to rise in USA.

This reeks of price manipulation from OPEC countries.

Look for a "manufactured" incident in the Gulf States that will cause fuel prices to rise even further.

 

[Tank-Girl]

And you might ask What has caused OPEC nations to throw this price rise temper tantrum?

OPEC are filling their boots while they can.

Our gas right now isn't bad. It's $2.12 a gallon. Cheaper than milk.

 

[timmie]

ours is $2.35. it never comes down as fast as it goes up.

 

[VThillman]

$2.60-263 today, up a nickel or so from last week.

Generally speaking the stations sells gas for what they pay for it, plus profit margin, plus taxes. Some station prices fluctuate based on tank size and refinery pricing. Branded gas and gas with additives cause fluctuations too. Of course many stations will see the other stations raise prices and so they do too, regardless of what they paid.

You can drive to any town down the road, in any direction from where I live, and pay $0.10-$0.30 less per gallon.

 

[NannyPatty]

$ 2.14 here give or take a nickel.

 

[timmie]

except some of the stations i refuse to put their fuel in my truck. a lot of stations don't deal with the water condensation issues and other things. i drive a diesel, so believe it or not there are only 2 stations in the town that sell diesel. murphy [wal mart] and a marathon, i like the marathon

[TMT Tactical]

Just filled up, $2.19 per gallon, unleaded reg.

 

[SheepDog]

I don't pay much attention to gas prices. I just don't use enough to make it important to me. I only fill my car once every couple of months or longer and it only has a 16 gallon tank. I haven't put more than 12 gallons in it at one time in years. Gas prices always go up in the summer months and rarely go back down in the winter - just the way it is. People generally use more gas and diesel in the summer so with the rise in demand comes a rise in price. When demand drops people are used to the higher price so the market stays its course.

Gas Buddy App on my smart phone text me yesterday and said gas prices are going up. Today the closest gas station is $2.49. I can drive 8 miles north and get gas for $2.41 or go 9 miles south and pay $2.62

 

[tiffanysgallery]

$2.17 gal. here.

I drive 1.5 hr ea way per week for work. If gas prices rise, it does affect my budget.

 

[Amish Heart]

I fill up about once every three weeks.

For us anyway we stock extra fuel in jerry cans in the garage when we find it at a cheap price to last for 6 months which insulates us against high prices. As we live in a small country town our prices are extortionate most of the times here in Australia. As we travel for functions to larger cities we take our empty jerry cans down with us and fill them up at up to 30c per litre cheaper than we do here at a wholesale service station and we add fuel preserver to it as well before going.

Good way to insulate yourself from massive prices rises no matter what country you are in.

 

[The Innkeeper]

Y,all are depressing me. Ours is so heavily taxed that we are looking at $1.10 - $1.25 a litre. That more than $4 a gallon and we produce and refine the darn stuff.

 

[Sewingcreations15]

It can get worse @The Innkeeper you could live in Australia , where our fuel prices are at the moment $135.5 per litre in our small country town.

OOps $1.355 per litre.

 

[Amish Heart]

I shop some at our Kroger store here, and they put points on my Kroger card. I use them when we go to the farm. We also take the pickup, and it's 10 hrs, so lots of gas. So far, I've earned 80 cents off a gallon to use on that trip. I don't know how many gallons they calculate, but I can usually fill up once at 80 cents off, and the next at about half that.

 

[masterspark]

It can get worse @The Innkeeper you could live in Australia , where our fuel prices are at the moment $135.5 per litre in our small country town.

Is this a typo?? That is $512.00 Australian dollars per gallon or $394.00US per gallon

 

[timmie]

went up to $2.47 for regular today.

 

[Peanut]

I buy non-ethanol gas so pay about .40 a gallon over regular ethanol. My truck has a carbureted engine and just hates ethanol.

 

[Sewingcreations15]

@masterspark yep a typo see what happens when you shovel, spread and plough 6 cubic metres of horse poo into the gardens your brain goes haywire.

That should read, and what is a few decimal points between friends , $1.355 per litre. Yep I agree that makes far more sense!.

OOps $1.355 per litre.

we are doing our best to catch up $1.32 this morning with forecast of $1.60 by summer

 

[CrackbottomLouis]

Goes up every spring for summer time.

 

[Meerkat]

I fill up about once every three weeks.

We fill up once a month and usually have 1/2 tank then. We use premeum high test only.
35 gallon tank. $2.49.

 

[mulescj8]

Diesel went up here a dime in the last few days.

 

[OBG 57]

2.69 gal for diesel last fill here.

 

[The Lazy L]

$2.79 a gallon
