A refinery outage in Indiana (flooding) will be causing prices to jump significantly both there and in surrounding states. Ohio has already done so, however, but if you are in one of the others you likely will need to top off today because you could wake up on Monday to prices 20-50 cents higher. ---

I noticed regular gasoline was $3.799 per gallon at the Lummi Nation’s 76 station and at the Arco at my freeway exit. Arco’s gas was $3.899 if you used a credit card (as I do). ---

$3.59 at Costco here on Oahu. It still fuels my legacy vehicle (2006 Acura TSX) but we added an Ionic 6 to the garage so no gas there. ---

The cheapest I saw in Winchester, Virginia was 2.83/gallon. In western Pennsylvania it is running around 3.39/3.46 depending on location. ---

I paid 171 yen per liter today, which is about $4.40 / gallon. ---

Unleaded in New Hampshire has gone from $2.71 to $2.87 in the last three weeks or so. ---

That would be delightful to me. I’m in Sacramento, CA. As of today (25 Aug), GasBuddy reports the lowest price it knows about as $3.85 at a cheapo station near me (I’ve used them and their gas didn’t seem to give the car indigestion, but it’s not Top Tier there). I could get $3.78 at Walmart, but that’s because I have the Walmart+ membership (it’s worth it to me). ---

  Of course, the Dart (which is now back to being mainly @Seanette’s car, now that I have my Jeep\* back), can run on E85.  It gets about 80% of the miles per gallon on E85 that it does on straight gasoline, but most times, E85 is enough cheaper than gasoline that it comes out costing less to run the Dart on E85. \* The Jeep broke down almost three months ago†.  Initial attempts to get it fixed went very badly, but eventually, a different dealership made all the difference, and now it is back, with a new Power Transfer Unit.

Still $3.899 (with the credit card surcharge) at the Arco station near my house. ---

We have one station, at $2.49/gal, undercutting everyone else in the area by 10 to 30 cents per gallon. They’ve been almost continuously at $2.49 for over two months, going up to $2.50-something for one weekend in July before dropping back down. ---

Looks like for the month of September that gas prices may go into a free fall, absent any economic or hurricane disasters, as [wholesale had the bottom drop out of itself yesterday](https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/gasoline). However such a sudden 30 cent drop looks suspicious to me and may be the result of some meta-shenanigans, as I’ve seen such weirdness before (last year prices would jump 20 cents for five minutes in the middle of the night, until one morning a jump “stuck” at the higher price, and never came back down). ---

After converting litres to gallons, it works out at $6.80 (AUD) per gallon of fuel. Thank goodness I have a car that runs on the smell of an oily-rag! ---

Oddly, despite that big drop in wholesale, the northeast saw a rather big jump collectively last week, c. 5-15 cents, even as the national will be flat. Note unlike the Great Lakes region the NE generally does NOT witness any price cycling. ---
