Comming down?
Is the price of fuel dropping in your area? Here in central Kansas at the convenience store where I have been buying my fuel. it has went down 14 cents in the last 2 days, down to $2.29. Unheard of for it to come down that fast but it can sure go up like that.
My 7 week supply that I purchased back at $2.24 is about depleated so am thinking about filling the barrel again.

SPR, Strategic Petroleum Reserve will be full in mid-August, and the driving season ends August 31. Airlines will cut back the schedule a bit September 1. So will you have a triple whammy of the goverment out of the crude buying business, and consumption dropping slightly. I think you will see a fair difference around September 15, maybe earlier.

$2.44 down from $2.49 earlier this week.
We better let this thread fade away before they decide to raise them again

In the past two weeks, it has dropped a whopping 4 cents at a couple of stations, none at most, and gone UP 9 cents at one. So, it seems to have topped out here (I hope, I hope....) but hasn't really started down yet.
Oh, inland SoCal.

It's come down about a dime in the last two weeks here. $2.29/gal. Now I'm going to break your hearts, at one independent station in Lawrenceville,GA I filled up today for $2.10/gal!! All the other stations around there are anywhere form $2.29 to as much as $2.45?? Big span isn't it?

Store...worried?????
Thanks fellas for the input. Look forward to some more reponses. After reading the ones already gathered up, I'm thinking that maybe this convenience store where I had been buying my fuel untill they took a hard nosed attitude and raised there price dramatically and I promply took my fuel barrel on a car trailer to the Flying J and loaded up my 7 week supply has finally come to the realization that "Hey were not selling much Diesel....suppose we ought to lower our price to the computition?" 
Just as a side note, this same store one morning 6 or 8 weeks ago had fuel priced at $2.24. As I stop there every morning on my way to work at 4am to get coffee, I needed fuel but said to myself, "What the heck, I'll fuel up after I get off of work at 9 am" Would you believe that in that 5 hour period, they jacked the price up 8 cents! Now you tell me that a tanker pulled in there in that 5 hour period and filled them up with 8 cent higher fuel? NOT...I seen the tanker there the afternoon before and I'd bet my paycheck that they didn't sell that much fuel in a 15 hour period. Thats when I said, "enoughts, enought" and promply went home and got my supply barrel and headed for the Flying J.
