I use premium, and the station I go to has hovered around $3.99 for a while now (I too use upside which sometimes only gives a few cents back, but sometimes a few dollars a tank). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent factor months ago was OPEC+ reducing production and now the situation with Gaza, Hamas, Iran, etc. The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) was created for emergency situations but used recently for political reasons in order to keep gas prices lower. The SPR volume is now the lowest in 40 years and it will take years to replenish the supply at substantially higher costs. We now have a legitimate situation in the Middle East which could lead to a major escalation in oil prices and substantially higher gas prices in the U.S. soon. Yeah, it's incredibly short-sighted to 1) not fill it when prices were low, and 2) use it for political reasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blksn8k2 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Not sure why, but the independent station in my home town dropped their price for 87 from 3.54 to 3.39/gal in the just the past couple of days. Most other stations in the area range from 3.55 to 3.69. The only thing I can assume is that the owner is doing the community a favor over the holiday weekend. He's one of those rare good guys. His major business has been providing water via tanker trucks to the companies drilling Marcellus Shale natural gas wells. That business has obviously taken a hit under the current whatever you call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 FWIW, my fill up today was 3.89 for premium before upside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It adds up when you have a big tank the Aviator I think has a 23 or 24 gallon tank. I think it took 22 gallons when I filled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick73 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Filled at an Exxon at $2.499 first tank this morning. Second partial tank was at $2.599 (pump card reader could not read my card so I prepaid partial inside). Third fill-up was at $2.999, trying to avoid higher prices in Florida, but turns out Florida Loves would have been cheaper at $2.699. So far averaging well under $3.00/gallon feels like a good deal overall. Now if only I could get 50% higher MPG I’d be even happier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 36 gallon F150 laughs at your puny tanks…… But my wallet cries when I fill it up. i wouldn’t have ordered it that way but that’s what was in stock. It is nice to see a 750 mile range.

silvrsvt Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Cheapest I've seen gas is $3.01 at BJs for 87. Other stations are around $3.25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzymoomoo Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 A lot of $2.85-2.99 near me. There’s still a few $3+ holdouts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tico Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Regular gas around MIlwaukee is low of $2.68 at Costco up to $2.99 next to the freeway off ramps. Averaging around $2.85 according to gas buddy app. Not sure why it is so much higher some other parts of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in PA it's because of all the extra road taxes, etc. that get added on that most other states don't have. And yet our highways still suck. ?

ice-capades Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 This morning's gas prices in Hamden, CT (New Haven) $3.29 Regular (Cash) @ Gulf $3.55 Regular (Cash) @ Citgo Gulf prices dropped this morning but not at the Citgo station. I'd expect the Citgo stations to drop by tomorrow as they usually drop within a day of the Gulf station. Even so, CT gas prices are traditionally above the national average due to the zone pricing and other factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisgb Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Our 87 E-10 Reg is $2.969/gal, down from $3.099 over the last 10 days. Most of the TC metro is $2.99-$3.09/gal. still. 91 E-0 Premium is running $3.569/gal. to $3.969/gal. at our 5 stations; all within a ~1 mile radius. Oddly, the Top Tier station (Marathon) is the lowest. We don't have 93 octane available in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackinaw Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Last week was up and down. Monday it was $2.86/gallon, went up to $3.29/gallon on Wednesday, now it's $3.07/gallon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerLS Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I paid $2.30/gal for E10 87 yesterday in Norman. Sucks that I was getting terrible gas mileage because I was dragging my brother's sea anchor, err, 2-horse trailer so we could move more junk and stuff and things from my folks' place before closing in a couple of weeks. I swear, it was like towing a drag chute; I've towed far heavier loads, but nothing made my truck suck down gasoline like hauling that little trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick73 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Prices in Houston area are the lowest I’ve seen in long time. My neighborhood isn’t this low but still good. I question under $2.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thTimer Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Glad to be back in the San Antonio area. I don't need to fill the aux tank until we go out again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHoncho01 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 It is $2.72 per gallon for regular in central Ohio. It is predicted to go below $2.00 by Christmas. I use the Gas Buddy app which lops off 3 cents per gallon. I also have the Gas Buddy fuel card that is linked to my bank account. By using it I can get up to 25 cents per gallon off the posted price. I can also use a stations customer loyalty card to use accumulated discounts from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
