Oh by the way ......
Wholesale gasoline price in PADD 5 (So Cal) has jumped about 67 cents in the past 48 hours to about $2.70.
That is HUGE! U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Can't comment on why just yet. |

It's down to $2.04 for reg unleaded here in Charleston. I was hoping it would keep going down for awhile.

Yea, on Monday i noted that the price of reg 87 octane gas was $2.19, and was dumbfounded when I got gas yesterday in the company car at $2.59..........well, suffice it to say, I was just pissed off this morning on my way to work to see the gas price had gone up ANOTHER 30 cents to $2.89, while the diesel price remained at $2.38.
What gives ? was there a refinery explosion overnight ? |

I know you are not refering to the oil companies because we all know THEY don't set the price. If THEY could set the price it would be around $20 a gallon. Just like if the distributors and retailers set the wholesale price it would cost a nickel. The MARKET sets the price, just like on e-bay. Last edited by sammyg2; 08-13-2015 at 06:59 AM.. |

Interesting, just noticed gas here was down overnight about 5c/l to $1.06. Multiply by 3.8, x 1.3 for exchange = about 5.23/ gallon.
And you were complaining about what exactly?

Our local news is reporting that the increase is due to maintenance at an Indiana refinery.

In My Prius - YouTube "Ya won't see me ever hit E with my MPGs..." Another mass rush to get rid of the new loaded DD oversize pickup truck. Flight of the Lemmings. I suspect these will become plentiful and inexpensive in the near future. There will be turnover.
