What are you guys paying for gas?

This might go on awhile, and limit savings from the release of strategic oil reserves.

I think we all know that Trump plays mulligans while golfing. He could use one over his decision to open this can of worms.

He just put out a post that says that when oil prices are high, the US makes a lot of money. It would be more accurate to say US oil companies make a lot of money. This mess has rewarded me personally quite a bit. A long career working for a major oil company gave me the time to purchase a good amount of company stock.

While Iran can never directly win a war with the US, all they really need to do is to keep monkey wrenching the oil supplies coming out of the middle east. That will keep oil prices front and center and center politically.

In Laurel, one station has diesel at $3.999/gallon and the one across the street has been at $4.099/gallon for the last few days. I've been curious which one is going to move to match the price of their closest competitor.

$4.69 diesel seems to be the stabilized price in Boise. $3.39 before the price rise.

Bout the same here.

Another piece of info suggesting this might last for awhile. I wonder if it was too early to release stategic oil reserves? Time will tell.

The station in Laurel, that was at $3.999 is now $4.3999/gallon for diesel this afternoon. The competing station is now $4.459/gallon.

A more pressing problem, to me, is the wind storm tore the escape hatch cover off of my slide in camper. I jerry rigged a cover, since we are supposed to get several inches of snow.

You have been told not to worry about gasoline prices. Let this be the last post on this thread.

High fuel prices are a small price to pay for the world to be a safer place to live, even if you can't afford to live there.

If that were only true, we are not actually any safer. We just keep recreating generational hate for America in the Middle East. It’s like watching Groundhog Day but every time the ticket is exponentially more expensive.

$3.69 a gallon this morning. It’s jumping 10 cents a day here. It was under 3 a month or so ago

Just enjoy that warm and fuzzy feeling you get during the refill...and say 'Thank You'. I hear they like that.

$4.50-$5.00/gal Portland
$3.99/gal @ Costco
jumped $1/gal in 3 weeks

I can remember a few years ago you bitching about this thread and asking what was the point of it. In the first few pages of this thread in got political and I requested it juts be a place where we could post prices. Its been going for quite some time I'd like to keep it before it goes to shit and gets locked. While I dont disagree with a lot of what you're saying I think some of you are lost without a trump thread and didnt know what to do with yourselves.

Sorry. Bored. Yeah, I think is a top 5 dumbest threads on HT. Might have a subconscious goal of killing it, but I will step away to respect your wishes.

$6.47 for cheapest gas this morning.

Friday is leg day at the gym. Both stations had changed their prices once more, downwards.

One went from $4.399/gallon for diesel to $4.199/gallon. The other went from from $4.459 to $4.259/gallon.

There's no shortage of uncertainty in the marketplace.
