So it begins. On the way home this evening

[kacekwl]

I noticed unleaded gas has gone up 40 yes 40 cents per gallon.

1. I dunno who they are, but I know trump's cronies are gonna make a fortune

The problem with having T.T.Z.S* is one cannot even trust the news coming from his pals in S.Arabia.

2. so the refinery was bombed on saturday i think... right?

so it takes two days for gas from the refinery to make it to your station?

not sure how that works.....................

either that or they are gouging you on gas they ALL READY PURCHASED wholesale.

i would report the station.

5. this

new price applies to next delivery...

gas in my town has gone up $.0

✌🏼

6. I read once that gas stations

charge for what replacement product will cost them, not for what the gasoline they are currently selling cost. That would explain it.

For the first time in my life, I filled the tank one day before prices went up. I'm usually refilling after they raise prices.

8. They really have to do that.

They use almost all of the the money from selling this truckload to pay for the next truckload. If they're short (because their supplier jacked the price up), there won't be any delivery.

12. I did an asst manager stint at a speedway

while I don't know how they determine gas prices, I do know it's not based off the truckload they currently have.

I was supposed to drive past a few stations within a given distance of my store and record the prices. Then I popped them into a store computer system that emailed it. I would get an email back to tell me what price to raise/lower our gas. That was done 2-3 times a day

3. I filled up yesterday in anticipation.

Of course, that won’t help for the next time sigh...

[YOHABLO]

4. Raising our gas prices is unjustifiable. The U.S.major export is petroleum

[former9thward]

13. The U.S. imports about a million barrels of Saudi oil a day.

U.S. oil refineries are built to require a steady dose of medium and heavy grades of crude. Saudi Arabia's crude is the perfect match. U.S. shale oil is a light blend which does not fit well with refineries that are decades old.

7. Any excuse to raise prices.

Glad I bought my PHEV last year. Can drive all over town without using a drop of gas.

[Ahpook]

10. I am envious!

I long for a day when we can exchange dead batteries instead of fueling up at a highway station.

It's such a cool idea, too. Your battery gauge is reading low? Pull off the highway and exchange it for one that is recharged.

Ding ding... Back on the highway

The technology is there I would think?

[Demonaut]

9. Costco yesterday, $2.75 a gallon of premium

glad I filled up but I feel this rise is going to last

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My car is a Camry Hybrid. Half gas engine, half electric.

I fill up once a month or so. I love it!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

14. Good grief !!

WHERE do you live ?

[rufus dog]

15. Her name will give you a hint

Guess the city for $1.

16. Go Chiefs! nt
