yep, man, you're right. I've noticed on my little Euro-to-USD exchange box converter on my desktop. The USD is really getting scrunched of late in comparo's. Oh, and we're at $2.42 at the Mustang Giant station in little 'ole Willcox, AZ. Down about 3 cents from a week ago. Been feelin' it's time for a price change but it's not happenin' very fast here in the desert SW. Not much does happen very fast here, though.

Gasoline prices jumped 12 cents at my local Sunoco station from $2.29 for RUG up to $2.41! There was an article in last week's Philadelphia Inquirer about a man being laid-off from Sunoco because they were shutting down the refinery where he was working. Gee, do you think THAT might be the reason for this sudden spike in fuel prices? We're all being played for chumps!

Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 18, 2009 6:59 am) Or even to PR releases from some arm of the oil industries suggesting there is an excuse for raising prices such as a routine shutdown of a refinery portion to do what is actually routine maintenance or such as needing to produce more fuel oil for the NorthEast (is that going to work this year?) or to explain why all the oil currently being stored isn't really a factor in pricing. |

Published: 10/19/09, 5:05 PM EDT By DIRK LAMMERS (AP) - Despite persistently low demand, prices for gasoline have spiked over the past week along with crude oil, threatening one of the very few points of relief for the recession-stricken U.S. consumer: Cheap gas. That may be frustrating for consumers with few signs people are driving more now than during what was a dismal summer for the travel industry. People aren't buying much gasoline. "I wish it could go down under $2," said Cheryl Couture, 50, who was filling up at a Speedway station in Columbus, Ohio, where a gallon had risen to $2.55. Couture has watched as gas prices have ticked higher. Prices have risen for three straight weeks, reaching a national average of $2.574 per gallon of unleaded regular, the Energy Information Administration said Monday.

Replying to: lemko (Oct 19, 2009 1:41 pm) Regular fell .04 a gallon here to an average of $2.65 at most stations. And we've had a house guest all week who has been driving my Subaru around town, and he filled the tank up for me, so I'm a bit ahead for the month.

Replying to: 210delray (Oct 19, 2009 4:08 pm) You tell me. I was basing it on the 6 days I spent in Evansville running on Shell RUG at $2.29 per gallon. I put 275 miles on that tank of gas and got 16.84 MPG. It was much more stop and go than at home. With short 2 mile trips to my daughters from the hotel and out to dinner. longest trip on that tank was to the Audubon Museum 30 miles away in Henderson KY during rush hour traffic. I think the formula for gas in CA is designed for lower mileage. Maybe closer to 10% of that worthless ethanol. I used mostly Shell on the trip to get my 5% discount. The prices were much more consistent in a given area of the country. Here you can have 50 cents difference across the street. Maybe the high priced Chevron would render a higher MPG. |
