Paid $3.33 at costco last week.
Its the futures traders thats screwing up the pricing.
I usually don't track gas since I use Diesel. But we are down to $2.85 at Costco. Thats primarily because we are on a pipeline direct from Texas and nothing has to get trucked in. Then the pipe goes on up to Phoenix. The farther up the pipeline you go the more expensive it gets. Whoops, they just went up to $3.11 in the last ten minutes. lol

"The take-away point from all this is that the cost of oil production has likely found a new floor. Peak Oil doesn’t mean we run out of oil – only that the cost of production, which now often runs about $40 per conventional barrel and up to $80 per unconventional barrel, all-in, is never going back down to where it was. Prices can never go back to where they were either, because if they drop – or are forced by law – below the cost of production, there won’t be any production."

Just saw on the news Michigan is highest in the country. Highest I saw was $4.29
We are highest second to Hawaii. In todays paper it said it is due to problem with refineries in and around our states borders. If you believe that I will sell you the Mackinaw bridge for $1.00.

Gas prices started falling here last week. One station is now at $3.20 while the rest are just a couple cents higher. But in Flint, 10 miles away it is around $3.48 as of yesterday.

Back down to $3.35 here. It's been dropping one or two cents a day.

Have a friend who works for CXS . Says they get 240 tanker trains of oil a day from ND.
Local TV said gas companies are now going to raise rates on gas "just because" they are concerned about future gas delivery problems.
If you read through the lines of BS, what they are actually saying is:
"Gas prices are going to shoot upward because a holiday is right around the corner and we and going to screw you one more time, you stupid Americans!"

Gas in Joplin, Mo. was $3.01 today.
A cousin in Garden Grove, Calif, says it's $3.89 there.
The $3.90 stations from last week are now $4.06 for me. It would be nicer to have a car which ran on regular, but I have to buy a stupid car which demands premium at $4.19 a gallon. Yeah, I can run regular in a pinch but I lose almost 2 MPG's.
$4.13 in Baldwin Park yesterday.
OUCH!
Worst part is I NEVER give myself a chance to shop for gas. I gas up when the low fuel light comes on...........or when I'm drifting on fumes. So I take what I can get.
I also try to get all my fuel at Costco, but around here, the lines are 5-6 cars deep, so it may take as much as a 15 minutes to get to the pump.
Cheapest price at my location on the Oregon coast is only 20 cents less. I'll check today to see if it's changed any.
