Saturday afternoon (10/04/14), the price of gas is now $3.39/gal at
the
local cash & carry.

The chain jerking continues.

Alternate energy anybody?

Nope. Oil works great. Filled up both cars today in Auburn AL (way
back from a week at the beach) at $2.969.

Lew, I think you'll like the video on this one! : )

Like the last one. ;-)

Yep - the TLA names for the prices....

I find it as a stock market scam. The barrel of oil is one level,
the gas is out of bounds from the oil basis. Gas gouging is easy for
the big guys - in town we have three gas suppliers. Two of them service
one station each and all of the various gas stations get it from one
supplier- in theory, different additives... I wonder some times.

Dunno, $100/bbl is $2.50 per gallon. Add $.50 for tax and you only
have a few cents left to refine it and ship to my town. For the
benefit, I find that a pretty good deal.

It is 10 cents or more per gallon in this county than in neighbors.
Other towns are 20 and 30 miles away. I fill up there when out of town
but normally don't drive 20 miles fill up and drive back 20 miles.
When the prices were further apart, some friends with 100 gallon tanks
in their trucks would drive around the country side - search on an app
and buy a tank at a good price - sometimes 50 miles away.

I just looked at the gas here. It was $3.489 here, so $.52 more for
the 70 miles difference. ;-) Of course they're different states, so
the tax man got more here.
