Phoenix down to $1.35
 
And the new 1.4 BILLION DOLLAR light rail system just opened. At only 43 million dollars a mile, it was a BARGAIN !
 
Bad timing I guess...............

Wide variance in prices during my holiday travels by 210delray

Paid only $1.35 today for WaWa RUG in fezo's neck of the woods (Toms River, NJ). The Shell that I missed was a cent lower. I saw an off-brand in the same area for $1.31. Lukoil (Putin-oil) on the Garden State Parkway was $1.55 -- passed on that. Pittsburgh had $1.79 for BP -- passed also. Did buy in Somerset, PA for $1.67.
 
Also had topped up in Front Royal VA on Christmas for $1.45 at a Texaco (would have been 5 cents lower per gallon with cash). Saw gas in NYC for "only" $1.83 -- such a deal (passed). Also, as soon as we got off the ferry from Cape May NJ into Lewes, DE today, gas was back up to $1.83.
 
I now have enough though to get me home to central VA, where it was $1.50 when I left on Christmas Day, so no gas will be bought in DE or MD.
 
The message I got was to top off where cheap to avoid the high-priced areas.

You were indeed close by. Should have said hello....
 
Filled with $1.33 BP just north of Toms River today.
 
Here in town the best I could do would be $1.39.

Not sure when the raised their prices. I filled my PU on the 18th and the price was $1.57. Today I was going to top off the Sequoia and the lines were around the building. Price was $1.69. Think I will wait a couple weeks till I fill up.

$1.69 Greater Dayton area by imidazol97

Most stations jumped the price 20 cents to $1.69 on Monday. The PR reason explained by a talking head on TV said it was because of the battle in Gaza and the oil price having gone up on Monday during the day ($2). I suspect it was a chance to raise the price for New Years celebrants and people traveling.
 
Several stations are still at $1.38 and $1.43 in spotty areas. I refilled my car at Murphy (Walmart) for $1.49 because tank was low after drive from Nashville home.

Yes, we had a nice 2-day drive from NYC to central VA using the Garden State Parkway and side tracking along some of the barrier islands. We watched the sunset at Cape May and then took the ferry to Delaware, where we stayed overnight. Much better than the frenzy called I-95.
 
BTW, that gas station where I reported $1.83 in Delaware was a ringer. Because it's the first station you find after you leave the ferry, I suppose it takes advantage of people who jumped on the ferry with little gas left. Other stations a little farther on had RUG at $1.49 or so. Maryland's prices (at least near Delaware) were about the same.
 
I just paid $1.47 here at home -- we don't get those funny spikes like Dayton.

$1.38 last night in lovely downtown Manahawkin.
 
That ferry is a great trip. We do it at least once a year even if it's just going over for the day. If you get lucky you can get dolphins following the boat.
 
You'll never go too far wrong on gas by following the simple rule of if your trip involves New Jersey be sure to fill up before you leave. When I go up to New England I always stop at the last gas in NJ before proceeding. That tank is good to get me to New Hampshire which also has cheap gas.
 
If you come back up this way at night you can now see Barnegat Lighthouse lit up again. We went to the lighting as did half the county. It's not that big a light but it's still pretty cool that they did it. Replacing the glass surrounding the new light cost more than the light did.
