Reg gas finally dipped below $3 here.
$2.98 today for reg.
$4.04 for prem.

20 cent drop in diesel the past two days...

.

I was passing through Fredericksburg VA today and all three grades of gas at the Sheetz station were the same price. Pretty strange. I looked it up in GasBuddy (below):

It was the same (but cheaper) about 30 minutes east in Dahlgren VA (near the Navy Base) just before you cross into southern Maryland:

Methinks Sheetz might have a "reporting" problem to GB. Their station prices are updated automatically on GB every hour, and always by "owner", though individuals can also update them in between. This morning, my goto has 87 at 2.72, and mid &'premium both at 2.71 ... and I don't think that station even has mid-grade either.

Yeah, when I last used GB on my FL trip last month, I didn't find it too reliable as far as price actuality . Was a bit of difference between posted and actual.

.

I actually stopped at these two stations and checked them myself (as noted in my post, both were on my route). I only posted the GasBuddy screenshots so that I would not have to put up with the inevitable "BS, prove it" nonsense.

Just to be clear fint, I was not questioning what you saw, but thought maybe it was the prices reflected on signs (also updated automagically). Before this morning, I had never checked GB for anything other than 87.... it's always been accurate for the Sheetz station I use .... if they too are selling premium for .01 less, then that's just as odd as many of the other prices seen this year imo. Just doesn't compute....

below 3 here finally.

Speedway near me is $2.99 for reg. and $4.04 for prem.

$1.05 diff :mad:

There's about a $1.40 difference between reg and prem around here. That's ridiculous. Used to always be maybe a 35- 50 cent difference.

Cheapest here is $2.35 reg to $2.75 premium.

Yeah it's crazy because a lot of stations don't even show prem price on the road sign.
Don't know if prem will .35 over or $1.40 over. An easy way for them to make more money.

I've had my Prelude since 1998 and it requires prem. I always have checked the diff, and since 98 it's always been 60 cents. Why twice that this year?

Ok...I have the answer. I called the State of MI Attorney General Office and spoke to one of the assistants. His answer made sense.

He said that the price diff will be much more noticeable when gas is dropping. Reg is used at a much faster rate than Prem and the gas stations tanks are getting filled daily with reg at a lower price while the high priced prem sits and doesn't get filled for a week or more.
Both types reflect the price when delivered.

I feel better now. :D

87 was $2.64 at Sams today.:D

Sheetz south of Raleigh was $3.08 for all 3 grades tonite. Put $61 worth of 93 in my Tahoe.

^^^^ Just totally strange? This isn't something that any of us have ever experienced in our lifetimes.... EVER. Wonder what Sheetz's strategy is .... it's just as disconected from historical patterns and trends as some of the recent prices, deltas, and abrupt changes that are contrary to the price of oil imo. I sure don't "get it" either.....

Because they can?

At my goto Sheetz this morning via GB....

2.69 for 87 .... both mid and premium show 2.68.

How do ya see all fuel types on GB? I am only seeing the single grade I select....

Slower than Sliders here :D
