Last Saturday Today
Safeway: $3.49 $3.69
Costco: $3.16 $3.34

And all prices are at least 25% more than the previous week.

And, we in the West are going to be bracing for that much more expensive summer blend (Ozone-directed limiting additives that are costly)

I was in St Louis all last week, and Kansas Monday-Tuesday. It's higher everywhere.

As is coffee, food and pretty much everything.

Historically, the sign price is NEVER reflected at the pump so nobody goes to there

$5.17 to $5.19 for the rest of town.

My go-to joint is $5.18 with a carwash, $5.28 without the carwash. I always scratch my head about that. A week ago, it was at $4.49 with the carwash.
