Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 That's a buck and a nickel more than I paid seven hours ago and that's at a station that is quite high for here (I forgot to gas up and wasn't sure I had enough to make it back.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I paid $6.59 for 91 octane "premium" at Union 76 the other day. Down the street at Chevron it was $6.79. 46 days... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Here in Montana $4.79 for Premium at a small town station, a bit cheaper at Costco. Filled one tank on the truck and got 10 gallons of Ag dyed diesel for $124. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 It has always baffled me as to why there hasn't been a fiery protest here in the US over diesel prices. It is so much easier to create diesel from crude oil than it is gasoline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 It is a greeniac thing, diesel is BAD so it has to cost more (even though the machines that help grow the food require it). Maybe we'll get lucky, butter was bad for years, now it is good again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the difference between premium and regular, but when I got my first car, Fall 1963, I remember Gas Price Wars and gas under 25¢ a gallon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 It's at 2.109 per litre up here. I'm reminiscing about the days when I paid .35 per Imperial gallon. (160 fl oz) for Regular. I'm getting old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started driving, in 1971, gasoline was running 24 or 25 cents a gallon. And they would have gas wars (you want to have some fun? Trying to explain gas wars to a millennial) they would bring it down to 16 or 17 cents. In 74, when I bought my first car, the energy crisis had happened, and regular was up to 35 cents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 If you are buying Diesel you need one of these cards. My Open Roads I have the app on my phone and am waiting on the card.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I bought regular gasoline last night for $5.65/ gallon at the local "bait and beer" stop - possibly the cheapest retailer in the county. And this is probably one of the lowest priced counties in the state. Here's a snap a cousin in Upland sent me last Friday... undoubtedly, it's gone up since then: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
