WantI stopped to fill up my company truck this morning at the Conoco at 103rd & State Line. Check the price in the pump below.
Yup, 2.40 for 91. I have no idea if it's still that was, but if you're in the that area, worth a shot.
Here in flyover country I just filled up with 93 for $2.749/gal...that was 10% ethanol but here in Iowa that's all you can get....
Highest prices in North America, thinking of taking the skytrain into work a few days a week now. Glad I have the 6 cylinder. Buddy just bought a V8 F150, probably around $200 bucks to fill up.In Vancouver, Canada they just hit $1.70cad/litre...for 87 octane.
That's like $5.77usd/gallon.
Feel your pain. It's a West Coast problem. In Vancouver, 91 hit $1.88/litre last week, converted to USD per gallon, that works out to $5.35 gallon. Greater Vancouver has the highest gas prices in North America!$4.79 for 91.... 10 refineries and 6 are down for maint/issues. On July 1st, the gas tax increases another $.06 a gallon. They predict this will continue through summer. They predict $5 for premium within a few weeks.
Time to ride the bike to work. Luckily I live four miles away. Feel bad for the commuters.
The weather and tech jobs make it worth staying. Couldnt bear living somewhere where it snows/salt on the road or humidity in other states. Still it rough out here. But its "only" $3.82 for 91 and 3.46 for 87 at Costco.
Based on the mid grade at +0.40, I'd say it should probably be 3.40. Better get it while the gettin's good. Or, maybe that's corn.I stopped to fill up my company truck this morning at the Conoco at 103rd & State Line. Check the price in the pump below.

The car is $33k, $110 more a month for gas is my monthly full coverage insurance payment. Car was paid off 3 months ago. I have been following spot prices on oil and gasoline for 4 years. I understand fuel blends ( which is bs in itself). Ethanol is a waste of an additive with less energy per gallon and more harmful to the ozone per gallon than regular unleaded gasoline.If you cant afford $110 more a month for a short period of time (Being prices always rise in spring/summer and decline in the fall/winter) than you should not be driving a $20,000 sports car with crap mileage and large car payment to boot. That is living beyond your means.
However, alot of folks do not see it that way.
Yeah seeing the price spike with oil so low is odd.The car is $33k, $110 more a month for gas is my monthly full coverage insurance payment. Car was paid off 3 months ago.

My problem is with the chart graphs for the past 10 years. The spread is abnormal compared to previous oil/ gas prices considering normal operations under normal conditions. Last time we paid prices anywhere near this was when oil was $128 a barrel not $70 as of today. Supposedly there is an abnormal condition with 2/3of our refineries being offline. No one monitors this for accuracy.
I work in the power generation field ( not living above my means) as turbine engineer. When we have outages which are twice a year, the price of electricity does not spike during that time. We have to buy it on the open market but our customers don't see a surge. Sure rates increase periodically as do ins, gas etc.
There is for sure price gouging going on here in Ca. Has been for some time. My average calculation over a 5 year period in this state has been $.48a gallon.
