Yay! Finally found diesel for under $5.50/gallon yesterday (Memphis- $5.45). If you’d told me a few years ago I’d be celebrating that price… ---

I took a business trip (via car) from Chicago to Minneapolis this week. I filled up twice in Wisconsin, at around $4.35 both times. Prices here in suburban Cook County are around $5.35 right now. ---

$3.54 central Texas. Seems Sleepy Big Guy Biden is turning the gas price rheostat mounted on the Presidential desk slowly down. there is no Presidential rheostat or actual control over prices by a president in spite of the wild-eyed belief of keyboard warriors. US refineries are running at 94% as of June. Woe if there is major downtime or a gulf hurricane. Total refining capacity decreased in 2021 for the second consecutive year. ---

Paid $4.29 yesterday. Taking inflation into account, that’s practically the same as in 1981. ---

I think the Ontario government reduced taxes temporarily to lessen the price. It’s still high at about fourteen bits a litre Canadian, or US $5.12 per gallon. ---

Going down slowly but surely here in Wisconsin. Around $4.32 regular on average. Diesel is still pretty bad at $5.30 though. ---

My last post was wrong - it peaked at $4.999 here. I missed my typo. Anyway, it’s down to $4.139 at the WaWa, and it’s been dropping steadily. We have to drive to Florida next week, and it won’t be a gawd-awful expensive as it had been. I guess that’s something. I’ll be curious to see the rates along I-95. ---
