I’m keeping an eye on two particular gas stations within a mile of each other near the Jersey Shore. These tend to be on the low end of prices. March 3rd: Costco $2.85 Wawa $3.15 Today: Costco $3.15 Wawa $3.60 ---

I’m up in Green Bay, WI visiting my parents. When I was here two weeks ago, gas was around $2.40. It’s now $3.20. ---

Seattle was $4.39 Saturday. Probably more today. Gas is very expensive here, but we don’t have a state income tax. ---

Yesterday, the Arco nearest me was $4.199/gallon, and the tribal-owned 76 station was $4.159/gallon. I haven’t been out today. KING5 posted on Facebook that Regular was $5.999 (six bucks!)/gallon at a Chevron station in Snoqualmie Pass. The image showed $7.499 for Diesel. ---

Just topped up the car at $3.40/gal. Gas prices really don’t affect me, as I only go through about a half tank every couple of months. We rarely leave the city limits and most of the time it’s just grocery runs once a week or so. ---

Just walked past a gas station, and Andoil, during my walk. Car wash price was $4.99, unleaded was $5.19. I filled my tank a week ago at a different but comparable station, and it was $4.19 credit. ---

I was in town on the Friday when all this kicked off, but it happened after I got home. That day, I talked myself out of gassing up (half a tank was all I needed), and gas was $3.59/gallon. I paid $3.63/gallon the following Tuesday when I got back into town and considered myself fortunate. Today my regular discount station is up to $4.05/gallon. The Chevron station just down the street is charging $4.49/gallon. All prices are for regular. I don’t drive much, so I’m not likely to be too much affected unless/until prices double. It pisses me off all the same. So unnecessary and stupid. ---

Today gas at the local HEB was $3.19. (South Central Texas) I’m sure the last time I filled up it was under $3.00, probably $2.79 or something. It would help if y’all would mention whereabouts (in general) you live. * * * When I lived in the country and worked in town, I was filling up every third day. Ouch! I don’t pay much attention any more because now that I live at The Home, I can nurse a tank of gas for about a month. ---

Wichita area, still holding at $2.99. It’s been this price for over a week now, after it jumped 50 cents in the first few days of the excursion into Iran. ---
