Yea,it is about 57 cents a gallon wholesale.it has really dropped. Oil is 21.50 a barrel!!!!
Man,can you imagine the amount of work and travel and commerce that would going on if it weren't for this blasted virus thing?
I have bought gas and got most everything filled up around here lawnmowers and all. I figure,once we get America back, there will be a run on the gas stations as everyone will be wanting to go somewhere,anywhere but home and there will be a temporay shortage,with a substantial increase in price when the tanks fill back up.

I filled the wife’s car yesterday for $1.63.
In Akron I saw online $1.42, but not worth the drive/risk.

Had to do the grocery thing yesterday, and saw what the price was, it convinced me to fuel up.... Posted price of $1.35 & 9/10! And then still able to use my 4 cents per gallon discount coupon!

I find the hilarity in the fact that it is a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, hoping to force a 'glut' on America. Since our shale oil independence costs us around $35 per barrel to produce. and they're selling for around $21, they're really taking advantage of us! Our "dumb President" just says "Send it over! We'll take it all!!" (Meanwhile, our 'Strategic Petroleum Reserve' is being refilled and topped off....) :lol: Awwww! More resistance for electric vehicles?
"Let's Figgur it owt!" Just fix it (right), and make it work.....
Aah-OO-Gah! (and), "Happy T-ing!"

Indeed Marv! Why not, fill 'em up. Ours will be here when we need to start pumping again.
Maw says $1.86 here. A station 4 hours away had gas for 99 cents a few days ago.
Have you fellas looked at non-oxy gas pricing lately? I should go get some.
Need a little Kero too. Bet it's still 4 bucks a gallon tho and it's 20 miles away.

Gasoline here varies from one station to the next and prices range from $1.88 to $1.95.

Kerosene is STILL at $4.25 per gallon. Boo, hiss.

Today, $1.25 and couple that with $1.00 off per gallon from the Kroger Fuel Points and I paid $0.25 a gallon (35 gallons). That is lower than what I was paying during high school in 1950.

Gas here in Portland is still well over $2 a gal. I only had .10 off when I got gas yesterday at Fred Meyers (Kroger Fuel Points). Haven't done much shopping to get the $1 off! LOL (nor do I anyway)
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

It's $1.69 in Minneapolis proper and $1.49 in the second and third ring suburbs. The lowest prices in the state are in Red Wing where it is below a dollar.

However, non-oxy premium which I use in the snowblower and lawnmower is $3.38/gallon. There are two stations within six blocks of me that sell it.

I have a Home depot rewards card based on monthly purchases. Last month I purchased a new Gernerac gernerator, and all the finish materials for my new shop addition. So this month I get my reward email. I happen to need gas in my car so I heads down to the local Shell station and start by sliding my rewards card, then the pump tells me cost per gallon is 3 cents.

I fill my car to the very brim and the total amount it cost me was .46.5 cents. Sadly you are only allowed 20 gallons per monthly cycle. I did take my wifes car down the next day and used the last 4+ gallons at 3 cents.

The American way spend more to save more.
