After dealing with insane prices back in 2008/09 I swore I'd never complain as long as prices for 87 stayed below $3/gal. My go-to fuel is Shell 93 and latest price was about $2.40/gal and no complaints here...

Another in long line of "I think the price is too high, they must be greedy crooks who are robbing me blind and making obscene, if not illegal profits on the backs of the little guy" posts.
Oil is a commodity subject to the law of supply and demand, and refined gasoline is not far off from being a commodity. Prices charged by the thousands of retail gasoline stations, many of which are independently owned are super competitive without a lot of profit built in. Those stations do get a good chunk of their profit from beer, milk, cigarettes, lotto tickets, etc.

Northeast Ohio suburbs of Cleveland, saw a few stations today at $2.09!
I look forward to paying normal daily life gas prices.
I think the lowest I paid was $2.23/gal, now it's up to $2.47 in about two weeks. No reason for it. Still a fleet of oil tankers sitting off the coast of Los Angeles with nowhere to dock and unload. But, of course, there is no reason for the stock market to be doing what it's doing either, in light of the turdshow going on with the economy.
Currently $2.15-$2.30 for regular unleaded.
$2.34 / USG in Epping N.H. Irving Oil.
Why does my new Ford get the fuel mileage of a Suburban V8?
currently 21.1 MPG

I am in Arlington, TX this week. Filled up my niece's Odyssey. $2.03 for rag at Costco.
This is over a buck cheaper than Sn Ho Costcos. Rag at cheapie stations is like $3.30 or more at home.
I refuse to stop sniveling. Sheesh.

I expect the cost of fuel to get rather pricey. Thats what we asked good ol Joe for after all. High energy prices in the U.S. will save the planet.
What you ordered from the menu is not necessarily what is coming on the plate.

It’s went up in my area to $2.37 for regular $2.67 for mid grade and i think $2.97 for premium and only getting worse.
Hopefully we don't get a case of food poisoning.
April 21 2020 a barrel crude oil was at $0 now its$58.40 world oil had tankers full not one left to fill with oil.
World oil cut back production use has increased.

$2.49 today for 87 Mobil.
C' Mon.
Supply and Demand.
GM is going Full electric in 14 short years.
But, I wouldn't bet on them hitting that target.
But they are getting close TODAY with them installing engines barely larger than starter motors,
EXAMPLE:
Chevy Trailblazer engine = 1.2 Litre 3 Cylinder.
What is rag?
The price of crude oil is up over 10% this month.
Regular grade fuel. I call it that because my iron headded, high compression classics will ping like crazy on regular.
