Chantry Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Last time I checked here in CT it was $3.45/$3.50 gallon for cash/credit. Makes me glad I work from home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 And lest some wag declare "Well, that's mostly due to inflation!" you can call foul on the [likely lefty] airhead: that $0.279 in 1971 would equate to $1.91 in 2021 dollars. I'd GLADLY pay a buck ninety-one instead of the cut-rate of four eighteen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slapshot Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 High gas prices, well we know exactly who to blame on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Bought gas a few minutes ago, on the way home from band practice. $2.79:9 I filled up!! That is $.50 a gallon less than the stations nearest my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I've noticed around here gas prices go up every Wednesday or Thursday. People get paid on Friday and fill up when they have the money. The prices come down over the weekend and hit their low on Monday or Tuesday. I always try to fill up on Monday.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Here's a weird one, there's a gas station chain around here called SHEETZ, I'm sure some of you are familiar with it. It advertises on their big outdoor sign $3.27 for 87 octane and $3.99 for diesel but also has 88 octane for $3.02. I figured I'd try some, well....wouldn't ya know I went to three different pumps and they didn't have any 88 octane for $3.02 they were out! Either they sell out fast or there's none to begin with! I left and didn't get any gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left and didn't get any gas. We have a few stations around here that sell a 15% ethanol/gasoline blend for a few cents less. It has a warning on the pump that says you should check with the car’s manufacturer before using. It’s strictly for later model cars and flex/fuel setups. Your average gasoline blend is 10% ethanol, so performance and mileage may suffer when using the 15% stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go West Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I paid $77 to fill my Nissan yesterday in Phoenix. I think DC has more than enough gas(bags) for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Here in CA, it is mostly tax that causes the high prices. Perhaps Pat would chime in for SoCal prices... we are $4.50 here in Sacramento, and SoCal is usually $0.50 higher than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I have taken to buying gasoline at low prices when I spot them, even if I have plenty! I ran low the end of this week because it was a day or two before payday and I was short on cash. I bought ten bucks worth yesterday before heading to the other side of town for practice. By waiting until I reached the other side of town and filling up on my way back, I saved $8.50 on the fillup! If I could do that on every gas purchase, figuring a minimum of fifty times a year, I could potentially accumulate an extra $425.00 or more a year!! If it had been the dually instead and I had run it that low before filling up, it would have been a savings of around $17.00!! Sort of makes the drive worth it!!!
