A couple stations are still at 2.99. Everywhere else 3.09 or more
Has been 2.98, heading to Ft. Worth today it was 2.83 to 2.88!

Gee, and I thought I got a good deal. Many stations have gas for around $3.50.
$3.99, just over the mountain, that's the lowest within 30 miles south of us
Gas is always cheaper down here! The good deal was this time last year!
$3.65 for diesel.
Looks like it's going up about a penny per day. $3.20-3.25 yesterday noon. Maybe the trolleys are coming back; that won't get me to the supermarket though.
Back in the day, there were trolley/RR rails between Springfield VT village square and Charlestown NH, using the toll bridge across the Connecticut River. They connected to the Boston & Maine railroad in Charlestown. Their main purpose was for shipping heavy machinery from the Springfield machine tool plants to the RR, but the trolley did enough business to survive. So - no gasoline required.

The Shell stock I own bumped up the dividend that they pay me, a bunch.
So, at least some of all that money people are paying is going to a good cause.

$2.98 unleaded today.
Got the card to get the farm diesel, it's red, and 70 cents a gallon cheaper.
Our pumps are unmanned and you have to slide a card thru the reader. Bill comes in the mail.

Paid $3.09 this morning on I-35 at Ellsworth, Iowa. 350 miles later, I paid $3.19 this evening on US-20 at Jesup, Iowa...
Got gas at Sam’s in Louisville for $2.99 Sunday.

Ours went up a 5 cents in just three days. Now $3.03
Just went up to 3.19
LETS GO BRANDON!!!! $3.289
Was down to $3.30 then up to $3.36 for the past couple weeks then this morning back to $3.30. Weird.
I was out this morning with my son, and gas was $3.09. That is the first time I can remember it being over $3.00 a gallon here. I know our situation is better than most, but you wonder how far this will go? IMHO it will get a lot worse before it gets any better.
Yep, 3.09 here too, was 2.89 yesterday!! Thanks Joe
$3.09 here, also. Sigh

If you think of the green new deal and want everything to go electric you need to get gasoline up to $4.71/gallon (at $0.14/kw-hr, 1 Gasoline Equivalent (GGE) = 33.694Kw-hr), but if you think AOC type green new deal where everything is using renewables like solar, the true price would need to be about $11.10 per gallon..... Now, don't get all peeved at me, I'm just answering a question none of us really wanted to know the answer to.....
$3.27
It jumped 10 cents overnight last week

The only question I want the answer to is 'What's for supper?'

I filled up last week for $4.09 a gallon at Arco. Today I filled up at the same Arco for $4.15 a gallon. This is not the norm here in Cali. I will see what the price is when we go to my folks' this weekend. I am sure it is close to if not over $5 a gallon.
$3.19 to $3.21 in Mankato, Minnesota today...
Around here it runs $3.10 to $3.20. It seems to be holding steady in that range since the hurricane shut down refineries in LA.
