Hope you filled up every empty gas can you have. Get ready for the big gas price gouging. $0.32/gal in the last two days

I heard on the radio today that there are some stations in the Houston area that are charging $20 per gallon.
It shot up to $2.44 reg / $2.54 Diesel here..
I have a feeling that prices are going to continue to rise and stay high for a good year or more....

Good morning everyone.

Prices going up on old stuff in the tanks. Not even waiting for a delivery to make it even seem believable. Pigs

You always pay for replacement price, not current price. At least when it goes down, it goes the other way. I got diesel yesterday, and for the first time in ages, it is cheaper than gas again!

Here in MN, I believe the Gasoline Dealers Association publishes the daily fuel price list (fuel at the depots) and the dealers all go from that price. So basically, you're not paying for what's coming out of their tanks at the filling stations, but instead you're paying the price to replace that fuel... Well, I am pretty sure that's the concept as was explained by a friend that once owned a Mobil Gas Station.

Good morning guys!

Filled up with diesel yesterday on the way to the cities. Couldn't even tell you what I paid. Haha. Never even looked.

Good evening fellas
Was a pretty nice day once the sun broke through around noon.
I spent almost the entire day working on the car trailer. There were wiring gremlins that were stopping the brakes from working. I found the glitch and you know it was in the last place I looked... Funny how that works...

Anyway - I re-did every splice in the trailer. Soldered, shrink tubing, etc... Done..

Hmmmm, strange it never seems to decrease as fast or by as much. . And seems that should still be two to three weeks out as they have reserves made before they need to get into the new stuff
