Current Spike in Gas Prices

[MarkBC]

Yes, $4.09 yesterday, $4.19 today. Can hardly wait until tomorrow..................

And so, in a few days I'm headed where the tea is sweet, the reptiles are sassy and gas is about $2/gal cheaper.

 

[CougarCouple]

We’re about $3.13 for regular here in Vegas.

We hit $4.09 in Grass Valley.

~$2 per gallon price difference between SC and CA is astonishing. Especially since CA's last reported tax is 61.20 cents per gallon and SC is 20.75 cents.

Fed excise tax is currently 18.4 cents.

Kind of makes you wonder where the balance of proceeds for the price charged is going out there in CA.

Just before the Pacific Graft and Extortion Co blackout (no offense to anyone working there) I topped off my Tundra and filled 3 jerry cans for my generator at $4.19 gal. Let's see 27 gals for the truck and 15 gallons for the generator = 42gals x $4.19 arrrrrghh!!!

Ahhh.............. there's always a bright side. You didn't pay $5.29 in Lee Vining and Bridgeport.

 

[MarkBC]

Here in central Virginia, gas is about $2.29/gal.

Costco Oxnard $3.959. Under $4 yahoo!‍

Boggles the mind (and wallet) that the same 42 gals of gas would cost a person $46 more in Bridgeport and in Virginia $80 less.

So Mr. BC, if you paid for a 15 gallon fill up in Lee Vining it would have cost you an additional $45. No commentary, just showing off my basic math skills that I did in my head.

Ski - You may have mixed up BCs post with my post about my recent 42 gallon purchase. Maybe I mixed things up!?

 

[ski3pin]

I believe we agree.................

For Mr. BC in Virginia 15 gallons @ $2.29 = $34.35

If Mr. BC had filled up in Lee Vining 15 gallons @ $5.29 = $79.35

$79.35 - $34.35 = $45.00

or quickly, the $3.00 difference x 15 = 45

Your math matches mine, I believe, but I'd have to fetch a calculator to confirm.

3.39 up in Washington. Does anybody else notice that the first gas station at the end of the off ramp is 15 cents more per gallon than the others?

$3.25 Beatty, NV where the well advertised wind hit last night. Past 2 days it was about $3.70 Battle Mountain and Tonopah. Heading to DVNP tomorrow with full gas cans and maybe wont need to get gas there where it is much higher.

 

[craig333]

Oh yeah, never hit the closest station to he exit unless its like truck stop.

$4.19 today

$4.09 now.........................
prices are dropping like a feather in an updraft.

 

[PaulT]

$3.00 at Hillsboro Oregon Costco Friday..
Our gas costs the same or more than California because it is refined in Cali. or Wash. However, selling price differences are determined by state and local taxes.
