Tizeye Posted April 7, 2020 Share #9 Posted April 7, 2020 While it is 7:30 AM as I write this, find it interesting the time since last report is 16 or more hours. Costco was the least expensive in the area at $1.69, most others a dime or so higher. However, demand so low that as I scrolled down, about 1/4 were “report price” as the prior report was too dated. Haven’t seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted April 7, 2020 Share #11 Posted April 7, 2020 I wish I was paying that little. I suspect though that the price is low because I'm (and most) not buying any because we aren't going anywhere beyond getting groceries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted April 7, 2020 Share #15 Posted April 7, 2020 This is where Costco (and Sams) really stand out. Both of my cars 'recommend' 91 octane minimum. With Costco, the choice is 87 and 93 octane. Checking premium, virtually every other station was 2.34 to 2.49 compared to 2.09 and that 25 to 40 cent spread in normal. Searching midgrade, 91 octane, the stations were still higher, typically 2.15 to 2.25 on a grade Costco doesn't even carry. Plus, getting 5% back doesn't hurt either. While I don't use it much today, GasBuddy is a sweet app. Really great with diesel when had the VW as that price spread was absurd, and when traveling, could tell how much at the next exit or two and which station to head to and which stations to drive past.

BR46 Posted April 7, 2020 Share #17 Posted April 7, 2020 With gas prices so cheap I thought about driving to Georgia to visit my son.

And if the cops stop you and ask why you are driving you can tell them you are going to get beer. Beer was determined to be essential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t seen that before. I found that you guys always paid more for gas than we did, I attributed it to your lack of state income tax. For some reason, Alabama was always lower than us, dunno the reasoning there. (unless they make a lot of $$ running the ABC stores) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted April 7, 2020 Share #33 Posted April 7, 2020 A friend of mine had a 1,500 gallon tank buried at his house for fuel oil. When the price of fuel kept going up and up he got scared that the price wouldn’t stop increasing. He filled his tank at over $4.00 a gallon. He actually hit the peak, the price started going down a week later. He said that was one of the stupidest moves he has ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team scooter Posted April 7, 2020 Share #36 Posted April 7, 2020 Back in the 30s and 40s, and before they started regulating this stuff, some of the nearby lakefront mansions had huge underground fuel tanks installed to fuel their motor yachts. Back about 7-8 years ago, during a super wet summer and after a 6 inch rain, the lake and ground water raised so high, that it pushed these old fuel tanks that weren't rusted though up out of the ground. Stuff they used to do back in the day? There's a story about a yacht that got destroyed by fire. With no regulations for stuff like this, they just towed it out in the middle of the lake and sank it. But somehow it kept resurfacing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
