Yesterday's Fill-up... by jae5

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?

I think in this area the $1.29 price at two brand name stations scared the oil marketers. Lots of stations are at $1.39 or so.
 
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.

Oil prices slip to below $45 on failed US rescue for automakers (Yahoo).
 
So, that can only mean that the gas stations that jumped up thirty cents overnight are trying to raise some quick cash to pay their bankruptcy lawyer.

I think it's called "everyone buys their gas from the same supplier....." Same thing happens in my area. Gas magically is within $.05 across the region.

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.

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.

What? You were up here and you didn't stop by to say hi?!?! Shame on you
 
You should have taken Governor Blago and his wife back with you - that would have been a profanity-filled trip (and I'm talking about her)!!

Yeah, it was a quick reminder of how the price jumps 20 ~ 30 cents a pop around here. Haven't been out so wonder what the prices will be on the way home or the weekend. I thought the increase may have been to the Bears playing last night, but with the weather and their record, it couldn't be.
