What's the oil price doing today?


Well, they waited a day. Up $.16 across the board on Saturday.

Diesel was $4.31 d and Regular was $3.81 in Morris yesterday when we filled up. Was $4.59 to $44.79 around here for diesel and still $3.99+ for regular.

Funny thing is $0.10 used to be a 10% swing, now it takes $0.40 to be a 10% swing.

3.71 in PA then my 25% off for my introductory rate credit card.

One sations is 3.89 and 2 doors down but not in eye site is a staton at 3.69. I would hate to be an out of towner and fill up at the first place to find it .20 cheaper 2 doors down.

Most of the stations I saw this weekend, were 3.529 and above. I filled up in Joplin at 3.439. One thing that is nice about my new car is that I can go about 500 miles between fills. In my shoes, that is a big advantage over smaller cars that may get a better average fuel mileage.

I love it how people are ecstatic to pay $3.71 a gallon for gas these days.

Oil price fell back down to $121 today. Wonder how long it'll take the gas price to drop that $.16 it went up on Friday?

I nailed some diesel at $4.42 yesterday on the way back from Big Bear Lake. The station by my house is at $4.80 and it was %5.60 two weeks ago. So what gives? I want to believe in markets but it sure seems like we're being F'd with. There's no fundementals behind this, just like housing and tech before it, it is only speculation and the bubble's bursting there now too.

Still waiting. The lowest gas got was $3.69. Now oil is lower than it's been in months, and it's still $3.79. So where's that carpet analogy now Mutt? Like I said, they sure do jump the price to cover their "replacement" cost when that future cost goes up a little, but they don't lower it at the same rate and the past 2 days in Peoria proves my point. The gas station owners are doing just fine in all this.
