We’re ranging from $3.92 to $4.19 for regular in my area.
Thankfully I don’t fuel up very often.
I filled on Sunday at 3.95. Monday, it was 4.19 at the same store, and 4.39 at several other places. I heard on the radio that adjusted for inflation, it’s still cheaper than the peak in 2008.
I can’t help wondering how much of the cost is price-gouging by producers…
I filled up yesterday (Southwestern Oregon). $4.51 for regular. On Feb 27, the last time I filled up, same station, it was $4.49 for premium. There’s usually a $0.40 difference between the two, so it’s safe to say its gone up that much in 8 days.
Prices vary greatly around here depending on the distance from I-5. That’s one of the more expensive stations but its also the one I have a fuel credit card for.
I saw a headline yesterday (but didn’t read the article) that Napa is the highest in the SF bay area. Just checked- Chevron went up again to $5.70/ gal.
I saw $3,899 yesterday.
I hope that is a typo of a comma for a period?!?
I drove past the “cheapie” gas place on my way to work. Yesterday: $5.79 a gallon. Today: $5.99 a gallon. At those prices, it costs me $12 per day to do a round-trip commute to work.
Luckily, Costco’s a buck cheaper per gallon.
I went to Sam’s Club yesterday to do some shopping and to also fill up the car. On my trip, I passed a Fleet Farm. Their gas was $3.99 and so was Kwik Trip and Holiday. When I arrived at Sam’s most of the pumps were in use. I was able to slip into the last free spot. I notice Sam’s price was only $3.39. By the time I was done pumping there were cars lined up around the parking lot to get gas. Someone must have Tweeted out the price!
Typo. It’s $3.899 US dollars per gallon.
Up over four dollars, about to where they maxed in the summer of 2008. I’m not as annoyed by it as I was then. 13 years makes a difference in terms of overall inflation and the reasoning for the spike in oil prices makes a lot more sense to me than it did then. If $5 a gallon gas is the final cost to smack down Putin, I’d consider that cheap.
Between $3.69 and $4.09 here between Cleveland & Akron (Ohio).
One of our local Sheetz stations remodeled and re-opened mid-February. Gas at that station, and the two stations around it, was hella “cheap” for a few weeks. The last two times I filled up was $2.28 and then $2.79. Fun time is over.
We haven’t had those prices around here since… I honestly can’t remember. Probably during the Obama years.
Around here – SE Louisiana which has some of the cheapest gasoline in the US – most stations are between $3.85 - $3.99 for the basic 87 octane. No one wants to be the first to go over $4.00, but it has to be coming very soon. Unless the current prices are artificially** inflated and have some wiggle room built into them.
** IOW, the station could right now make a thin profit at, say, $3.75/gal, but went up to $3.95/gal to build up a buffer. Make some money up front for days or weeks, and then stand firm at $3.95/gal and take small losses for a few more days/weeks until prices per barrel drop and stabilize. Something like that.
You know, bordelond, your reasoning makes more sense than almost any other I’ve heard while thinking about this situation.
I posted too soon. Shortly after posting this, I went on an errand and passed by two stations that were $3.99/gal at 8:00 a.m. today.
At ~12:15 p.m., both stations were at $4.19/gal. A twenty cent jump all at once.
Despite still having half a tank, I pulled into a station still advertising $3.89/gal on their big sign … the pump displayed instead $3.99/gal. Back in the days of manually changing the sign, I’d have understood. But with all digital signage? I guess the pumps and the signs don’t communicate.
I posted that 2 days ago. Cheapest now is $5.34.
$4.19 Maryland, just outside DC.
Back when prices were this high back in the late 00s I was still driving the Crown Vic with its 19 gallon tank. $75 fill-ups were not fun.
Yesterday, Regular fuel at the Lummi gas station was $4.259, and that’s what it was about 05:30 this morning when I drove by. I saw the sign as I passed on the way home, and it’s up to $4.359. And this is one of the cheaper places.
Wow. I was in Southern Ontario until Feb 26 and it was at $1.54/L then.
I’m in Nassau County NY just outside NYC and loaded gas 2 days ago, $3.99/gallon, at the cheapest place near me according to google maps. That same place is $4.24 today. The cheapest I see right now is $4.19; most places are $4.29 or 4.39 and a few are 4.69.
