It can vary a bit between 100-105.

We're running $2.79 for E10 regular 87 octane.  So the prices have gone up from $2.00 at it's lowest during the pandemic.

Here in ND, the higher gas prices are a double edged sword.  ND is the second largest producer of oil, only second to Texas.  So the state of ND receives a lot of money in oil revenue taxes.  So having the oil prices hover around $60 is good for us.  Gas prices aren't too high, but the tax revenue comes in.

Tax revenues from gas? Move to Michigan. We have the highest gas taxes after California, Washington, Alaska and Texas (I think those the ones). We're #5 overall and still have crappy roads.

Move to Michigan.
Respectfully, no thanks.

Just saw where it's $4.15 for measly 87 in Cali now. That probably puts 91 around $4.40. This'll surely help boost the economy!!

Well, guess you've all seen the E coast problem and the rather sudden price rise. The thing I still can't fathom is people filling plastic bags with gasoline and putting it in their trunks, this is insanity illustrated. This is a serious problem and a lot of people in high places are wringing their hands, but I don't see them doing much to help the guy on the street trying to make a living.

It has not affected us here yet. Sure it will somehow.

But why would anyone thing gas in a plastic bag is smart. I have seen it on video too. Oh brother.

There was/is definitely hoarding going on but I think the plastic bag photos are older, re-recycled ones.  Those people were idiots then...and truth be known there's more idiots walking the streets today than there were then.

Well, it's that time again, cough up the cash and hit the road. $2.59 this morning in Marble Falls. The national ave is $3.04, in 2020 it was under $2.00.

Biggest reason is last year everything was mostly shutdown and there wasn't much traveling. Now with everything opening back up the oil companies are back to their greedy ways.
That's my reasoning. Who knows. :roll:

The last time I was in our small two-traffic-light town the price was $2.85...a week ago, the Friday before Memorial Day.  I was headed to a town roughly 20 miles east and needed gas but held out to see what it was over there.  I ended up buying gas for $2.67 at Liberty(?)...Walmart.  Other stations there were about the same price.  So, an 18-cent difference twenty miles away.

An interesting point is that we have four gas stations here...three Marathons and a Citgo (Tom Thumb store).  Seems kind of crazy to have that many stations in a small town like ours but we are on a tourist route to the Florida panhandle beaches, albeit a mix of mostly 2-lane roads with some 4-lane stretches mingled in.  But...three of the same brand???  :roll:  The town 20 miles east of us has a solid 4-lane highway running from Montgomery (interchange city for I-65 and I-85) all the way to Panama City Beach, Florida...but yet there gas was 18-cent cheaper than ours.  They are a much larger town/city than us and have more gas brands so there is a little more competition there.  Something does seem rather greasy about the pricing the stations in our little town.

Did ya'll see where North Face just refused to make a oil/gas company jackets because they didn't want to be associated with an oil company????  Hypocrisy so bad it's laughable...being as most of NF's merchandise, especially their fleece, is made from petroleum.  :-s

Well, just about time to shove off on my reunion trip to NE. I filled up today at $2.64, so not bad for the first tank, we'll see what OK, KS and NE have to offer along the way.

Good travelling...


Our prices are up a lot from the low of about a year ago, at about $C1.26 per litre.  But still saving a lot as we are putting hardly any miles on the cars.  And the new hybrid the gas tank is still nearly full.


Enjoying,
Paul

Great year for my reunion and traveling through TX, OK, KS and NE. Prices were generally $2.65 to $2.85 except Ardmore, OK where I wasn't paying attention and paid $3.39 (my bad). They have separate E-15 pumps which are cheaper but I stuck with normal Regular. It was great to see America back to where things were normal again.

$2.729 in Troy, Alabama, @Wallyworld/Murphy.

25 miles away in my hometown it's $2.899 at the Marathons (plural...we have four gas stations...three of them are Marathons...two of them sit across the road from each other...go figure).

Price gouging at it's best. If a local store were to try and sell ice at $20 a bag they would be prosecuted, and rightly so. Big oil companies do it and nothing happens.  :evil:

You want to talk about gouging, take a look at the shooting marketplace. Everything is in short supply and what is available is at least double the prices 2 years ago and up. I wanted another magazine for my rifle and they're around $28, I had to search through nearly 50 google hits to find one that was even in stock and it was slightly elevated, but I saw a couple at $40 and on eBay one was $134? Twenty two ammo that was $2.20 a box is now $10 and more if you can even get it. Most of us are old enough to be appalled at our "new economic reality".

Ouch, that's painful. We're hanging in the mid $2.60's at least for now. But with things iffy as they are in our new reality, who can guess?

Convert it out we pay about 4 bucks for 87. It's a good chunk of our budget.

How much of that is tax's?
Here in Florida the state adds on 26.5 cents a gallon. The federal government adds on 18.4 cents a gallon. Plus what ever the county adds on.  :roll:
Freakin government. Just a license to steal.
