was for $1.53. It was weird because most stations on the way in to work were in the $1.50 ~ $1.53 range, with a couple of stragglers at $1.57. On the way home most had jumped to $1.70 for regular (with the Speedway at $1.79). My usual Jewel was filled to the gills since they were still at $1.50 so I went across the intersection to the Citgo - didn't want to take a chance on having the price jump up on me. Though even $1.70 beats the $4.30 I paid in the summer. There were only a few stations this morning still at $1.50 (Jewel and a Shell), with a Citgo by work at $1.55. Did something happen? Did an IEA report come out stating gas reserves dropped dramatically? |

Replying to: jae5 (Dec 12, 2008 4:51 am) This morning the Speedway and other stations were back at $1.79, a 30 cent jump for that station, a Mobile. Although there is no collusion and no pricefixing going on, all the stations who have upped their price on Thursday have chosen $1.79 as the new price.

Funny, I was on a business trip the last couple of days, and the prices were still low. Yesterday afternoon, I paid $1.49 to refill the rental car at an Exxon in NW Indiana close to the Illinois state line, and even on the I-294 Tollway in IL, the "oases" (service areas) had Mobil advertised for $1.59. Back home in central VA, no changes today: $1.55 for RUG at Hess and Sheetz, $1.52 at BP.

Replying to: dtownfb (Dec 12, 2008 8:02 am) Everyone had gone to $1.79 (outrageous isn't it, after $4.11 Now this morning the Mobile went to $1.69. The point is that when it's back to $1.59 on Tuesday, we'll be happy here in W. Ohio. They will have thrwarted the push down to $1.39 and $1.29. |
