87 was $2.94 and 93 was $4.64 at Sams today. Of course my car and truck both need premium.

Serious question here... Do they really need 93 octane if you drive conservatively and have no extreme accelerations?

My truck needs 91. I tried 87 one time and it pinged real bad. I tried 1/2 93 and 1/2 87 and it was ok but Sams does not sell 91. My C6 requires 92 stock and it will compensate but I put a 93 octane tune in it. I have a 91 octane tune I can load into it and may do so now that racing season is over. I may create an 87 octane tune for it. It is aggravating that 93 is so much more than 87.

Gee, our price for gas went up sixteen cents over night to $6.20/gal. Everybody in this area will be so glad when it quits going down.

It's not just you, on our staff meeting this morning people were saying it's going up pretty much everywhere.

Gas here is $5.95 for regular at "cheapo creepo" gas station. Most others are over $6. It's amazing to read the low prices posted around the country while we drive around here in SoCal, see the oil wells pumping, fuel trucks coming from the refineries in Bakersfield, and we're still getting screwed at the pump.

Can't wait to see what's going to happen to lumber prices after Hurricane Ian is done.

They have just offered up 10 million barrels of sweet crude for Nov delivery. That will make a total of 165 million of the 180 million that was initially planned.

That will still leave about 400 million barrels in the reserve.

Yep. Shrinking fast. Lowest level in decades.

Don't be surprised if OPEC+ Announces another quota cut next week.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/OPEC-Output-Cut-Looks-Increasingly-Likely-As-Producers-Narrow-Down-Options.html

The producers of the OPEC+ alliance that are already discussing a possible cut next week have reportedly agreed to a range of 500,000 bpd to 1 million bpd.
A source within OPEC claims it is “likely” that the group will agree upon a cut of some source, with Russia reportedly pushing for a 1 million bpd cut.
While the cut itself would have a limited impact on the fundamentals of oil markets due to OPEC+ underproduction, it would signal the group's intent to push prices higher.

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/opec-falls-short-oil-output-target-by-3583-mln-bpd-august-document-2022-09-19/
LONDON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - OPEC+ fell short of its oil production target by 3.583 million barrels per day (bpd) in August, an internal document showed, having missed target by 2.892 million bpd in July.

Still at 3.07 at my goto station.... some are a bit lower. NONE are doing their typical "storm spike" tho... shocking! They're too busy counting the profits since March to care .

You guys still getting raped at the pump.... follow the $$$.
