do you have any idea why the price of fuel at the pump has not much to do with the price of a barrel of oil ?Quote:

so then you do know that it can all be splained by lookin it up with google
but when you ask it like that you sound like bob in the lunch room doing his daily rant
If you were paying attention to any of my 290000+ posts you would know I have never worked on a copier in my life, copiers sucked to work on/ be responsible for
this could apply to so very many summertime posts on here. And i don't even mean that in a negative way.Quote:

It's greed, plain and simple.
Oil Co's and refineries can see the writing on the wall...make bank now...
Very fortunate to live along the Oregon border.
Washington has the highest prices in the nation but I can drive 3 miles and buy it in Oregon for $2 less/gal. That adds up when I'm filling the trucks.
they still fill it for you in Oregon?Quote:

Are there ppl that just buy fuel tankers and get there gas for 1/2 the price of say lee vining?
Slap some milk stickers on that some bitch and call it (highly illegal) good..

We were paying $2.14 a litre for marine (marked, premium) gas during our fishing trip this year. No road tax on that.
Been around $1.75/L the past few months in town. Biggest suck is that normal premium now contains up to 10% ethanol. Have to drive 45min to Bridge Lk (the nearest marked/marine gas outlet that isn’t an account/cardlock) so I can keep my gennies and 2-stokes purring smooth.
You must be able to get marked gas for farming KQ? Saved Dad thousands per year on diesel for his farm truck and tractor before he gave up farm status. Or does that work differently down there for non-hwy taxed fuel?
Our cars need premium, so usually around $5 a gallon in San Diego. I don't really bat an eyelash anymore. They broke me in to higher prices on everything. Life is likely at least $10k more a year than it was 5 years ago.Quote:

I've had friends get stopped and checked but my trucks aren't diesel.Quote:

$3.39 in the SW suburbs. :confused:Quote:

Covid killed off 4 or 5 US oil refineries, so there is a little less of that crack spreading going on.
I've got a selection of costcos on the way to some of my frequent destinations which are usually the cheapest gas around. $4.59 and $4.39 right now depending on location. Paid $4.19 at one in LA a few days ago. Lots of other stations are $5 or much more.
Navy exchange stations are a tease at 20c below Costco.
Then there seem to be a selection of stations that put false cheap prices in the Gasbuddy app. I've tried a few....basically if it's cheaper than costco it's probably a fake price.
I paid between 3.37 and 3.59 for regular (87) around NYS this week. I've seen it as high as 3.79 at a Thruway rest stop. Premium is as high as 4.90.
Oil and gas refining and marketing companies are making an average profit margin of 7.9% right now. The energy sector as a whole is closer to 15%. If you think they are skinning a fat hog, most are public so you can be an owner by purchasing shares and...share in the windfall. If you have any extra money after filling your tank that is. I don't know if it makes for good investing or if I get any of my money back but whenever I feel like I'm getting ripped off, I usually feel better if I invest in the companies that are doing the ripping.Quote:

$4.59 at the Costco by SFO yesterday before returning the rental car. Was fully expecting the usual $5-$6 a gallon. Pleasantly surprised.
