4955. All of it.

Did you notice that the sun set a few seconds earlier than the day before, too?

You either were or weren't attempting to link a daily increase with gasoline with a daily decrease in crude prices. Which is it?

1) Are you worried about the sun?

2) I was or was not attempting that? Im stillmnot sure why would you think that?

Meh. If you were just trolling, that's fine. If you were trying to link a daily drop in crude with a local increase in gasoline prices, I'd be happy to explain why that would be wrong.

Either way works for me.

About how long does it take for crude prices to affect domestics gasoline prices?

Trolling?

No, no no. Donger-ing.

Just taking into account the delivery, refining and distribution processes? About two to three weeks. If crude takes a large jump, the retailers will increase prices quickly, as they are looking at their anticipated replacement cost of what is in the tanks.

Oh, oh, William is Dongering Donger. That's interesting......

I'm flattered. Thanks.

You should be. T

Translated: When oil prices go up, that's when retailers make their cash grab.

I suppose their other option would be to lose money on every gallon they sell. And that sometimes happens, as I understand it. As has been mentioned, the retailers only make a few cents per gallon in profit normally.

So, no, it isn't a cash grab.

Retail Gas is a bitch.

Donger I have a question for you since you seem to be the answer man when it comes to gas prices. Currently, the price of unleaded in Springfield is $2.48, in Branson it's $2.49. Every other community around is drastically cheaper. Ozark is $2.36, Nixa $2.31, Republic and Aurora are $2.28. I would venture to say that the Conoco stations, for example, in Springfield are getting their gas from the same refinery, same distributor, heck probably even the same truck as the Conoco stations in Republic. It sure looks to me like someone is gouging an extra 20¢ per gallon from consumers. How do you explain it? And before you ask, no, this is not an anomaly. This is consistently how gas prices run in this area. I live south of Ozark and Nixa and drive to Springfield for work, so I see it everyday and always buy my gas in Ozark or Nixa.

Pretty much for the same reason that housing prices are different between cities. Are houses more expensive in Springfield compared to Nixa?

GOUGING!!!

Donger's big oil support isn't free.

No. Generally, homes are cheaper in Springfield.

So, you get gouged if you buy a home in Nixa?

Nixa has the better school system.

Unfortunately. People pay more to live outside of Springfield but with close driving distance to Springfield. So the landowners charge more for lots, driving up the cost of a home. But that doesn't explain why a tanker of gas is worth nearly 20¢ more per gallon at a gas station 5 miles away. It's the same product. There is no factor involved to add that extra cost. If a gas station makes 10¢ per gallon then is Nixa selling at a loss?? That doesn't make sense.

They're charging more so they can pay the Donger-bot bill. It's not free to run a big oil supporting AI bot.

Which may be paid for with slightly higher local gas taxes. :shrug:

I was kind of being a smart ass. A $0.20 difference even within a single town isn't unusual. For instance, check our prices near airports. They are ALWAYS higher.

I have a station that is always $0.25 more per gallon than a station a mile down the road. They can charge more because the busy mom's would rather pay more than drive a mile down toward the highway. It's not gouging.

Sounds like capitalism

Damn those evil assholes!

I went to pump gas this morning....$4.49 a Gallon.....

2.35 for Diesel. Down from 2.39 the last time I filled up, which got me to KC and back along with about a weeks worth of ambling around.

Welcome to California

Was $3.45 here yesterday at 6pm. $3.59 at 7am today.

Trying to line their pockets before all that Iranian oil hits the market?

Companies that spend billions of dollars should only be able to make "reasonable profits" - you know, whatever I deem to be reasonable............

There are laws in place to prevent price gouging, no?

Not that that's what's happening. I was just speculating and I'm really not even educated enough on the subject anyway.

I wouldn't count on that. At all.

Yes, there are. And the above isn't an example of it.

I am surprised at some of the prices you guys are paying. It is running between $2.40 and $2.59 around here.

Oil was at $51 a barrel tonight, but prices spiked over .10 to 2.69 in KC.

This has been a strange year for gas prices in KC. Normally it's way cheaper in the city than the outlining areas, but this year the opposite is true. And I can't remember the last time Diesel was .20 cheaper than unleaded.

It's $4.79 a gallon today in LA.

Stupid.

You really should get out of there before Lex Luthors land deal goes through.

That is odd. Diesel is the usual higher fuel here in Ohio. I haven't bought Diesel since last July, and don't plan on ever buying any again.

I paid $3.99 yesterday in LA. :p

Illuminati discount card?

No, I just doubt that Dane buys gas in the shithole I was in...

LMAO

It was $3.89 at Costco yesterday but $4.79 at every other station I saw in Studio City, Burbank and Hollywood.

I was a little farther east...

I was in Yosemite last week. Coming back on Saturday and Sunday, it was about $3.69 or so in Oakhurst, then add a dollar in Kettleman, on the 5, and then, about 15 miles or so South on the 5, back down to $3.69. In LA, up over $4.00.

It's always a lot less in Texas than in California.

Bob Dole is in Texarkana and was reporting prices a buck more that I am paying here in Austin. That was my main surprise. Cali is always much higher. They are also the reason for the whole summer/winter blend nonsense.

The most I've ever paid for a gallon of gas in my life was at some weird little shithole north of Yosemite called Chinese Camp. ****ing awesome area outside of that though.

$2.93 here today.

Does anyone else use Gas Buddy? It's really helpful, especially if you're on the road.

Nope, but I will start if it's awesome. Will rep you later.

It's pretty cool. My wife found $3.99 gas yesterday when all of the other stations in our area were $4.79. I think there are some kind of rewards program for people that report prices, too.

When returning from Scottsdale over Spring Break, we found a station just off the 10 freeway was that was significantly less than those a few exits away.

I've been using it for 2 yrs or more.

Loaded. Looking at what was offered in the area, all were within a few cents, so that's cool to know too. Stick with your favorite/most convenient station. I'm all about loyalty until it costs more than the loyalty is worth.

This may sound silly but I plan my errands (Target, groceries and Costco) around Costco because the gasoline is ridiculously lower than nearly by stations. As I mentioned earlier, gas was $3.89 at Costco yet a few intersections away, it was $4.79.

But GasBuddy is cool when you're in a jam or an unfamiliar area and need gas, especially if you're on a roadie.

Good luck!

I can imagine that it would be really beneficial to an OTA driver.

gasbuddy.com is the spawn of Satan. And it will be destroyed.

LMAO

Gas buddy rools.

Gas plunged under $50 a barrel today as the US dollar keeps marching higher. Let's hope we see $40 or less soon

Yet gas raised here in NW Missouri to 2.79 a gallon.

I think you mean oil but yes WTI went below 50 for a bit.

Someone better do a welfare check on Donger
