ok, weren't we told some years back that increasing gas prices was driving the increase in food/merchandise???? why is it that gas prices have been going down and prices are still going up???
but why didn't prices go down when gas was low?Gas prices is going up! I paid 3.75 for regular gas yesterday. Eggs go up when gas goes up.
damn...it is $2.65 here in indiana????Gas prices is going up! I paid 3.75 for regular gas yesterday. Eggs go up when gas goes up.
Wth? I paid $46 for my little car yesterday! Ugh!!! Well, I only get chevron gas and yesterday I got it from an independent chevron, so using a debit or credit card is an extra 10 cents per gallon. The other gas stations are around 3.25. I remembered when $17 filled up my little Honda Accord.damn...it is $2.65 here in indiana????
I paid $75 to fill up my car. It's not even a van or a pickup truck. Jst a sedan.Wth? I paid $46 for my little car yesterday! Ugh!!!

can't believe you are paying more than a dollar a gallon more than i am, geez!!!Dang, you got the good stuff!
Lol, a few years ago I was in the Midwest and saw that corn gas or whatever, and I was going to get it because it was cheap. My car would have probably died or exploded on the road.ok, i got gas today for $2.63 gal....that is a buck cheaper than it was last year!!! but the remarkable thing is that diesel is only $2.67 a gal, diesel was running .75c to a dollar a gal more than unleaded was not that long ago....the significant thing about diesel being so low is the reduced cost to wholesalers/retailers---my question is, why aren't these savings being passed on to us consumers?????
Because you (and we) were lied to lol. I noticed a huge drop in gas price moving from Chicago to Dallas. Like a dollar drop, mostly because of less taxes.ok, weren't we told some years back that increasing gas prices was driving the increase in food/merchandise???? why is it that gas prices have been going down and prices are still going up???
The demand and supply is lower for a diesel compared to unleaded. Here in the US of course. I knw in Asia diesel cost is cheaper than unleaded.ok, i got gas today for $2.63 gal....that is a buck cheaper than it was last year!!! but the remarkable thing is that diesel is only $2.67 a gal, diesel was running .75c to a dollar a gal more than unleaded was not that long ago....the significant thing about diesel being so low is the reduced cost to wholesalers/retailers---my question is, why aren't these savings being passed on to us consumers?????
No way I'd pay for high octane with prices the way they are now. I remember when gas was something like $1.27 per gallon or a little less. Don't think I'll ever see that again.Cali is at $4/gal for a 91 grade. That's the cheap station too. If you're not picky you can pay up to $4.50/gal
i drive a 2010 impala...the reason i commented on how cheap diesel is now is because it was supposedly the reason prices went up so high, they blamed it on high cost of diesel the fuel semi's use to transport goods across the nation. a year or so ago diesel was up to a dollar more per gal than unleaded, now it is only 3 cents higher!!The demand and supply is lower for a diesel compared to unleaded. Here in the US of course. I knw in Asia diesel cost is cheaper than unleaded.
Do you have a diesel car?
lowest i remember was .29cents!!!! used to have something called gas wars-there was no set minimum and independent stations used to compete against each other, i liked competition and i miss it!!!!No way I'd pay for high octane with prices the way they are now.

My sister is a manager for chevron and every morning before she starts, she has to drive around and see how much other stations around her are charging. ️lowest i remember was .29cents!!!! used to have something called gas wars-there was no set minimum and independent stations used to compete against each other, i liked competition and i miss it!!!!
speedway is the big chain here in indiana, their prices don't vary much from station to station. the other stations are usually a few cents to a nickel higher.My sister is a manager for chevron and every morning before she starts, she has to drive around and see how much other stations around her are charging. ️
Now there's an app for that. Gasbuddy! Let her knw, unless she likes driving around on the clock of courseMy sister is a manager for chevron and every morning before she starts, she has to drive around and see how much other stations around her are charging. ️

New Zealand. We so far away that prices will always be crazy.What?! Where are you from?
I never trust the "official" explanation for anything. With gas prices and so many factors involved, they likely just said that to keep people calmyeah...but tomatoes are $2.99 here and i live in a farm state!!!
they used high gas prices as reason for raising food prices back when gas was over $4 gallon, now gas was $2.56 today and food prices are higher than ever!!!

i am happy with anything below $3!!!It's our right as Americans to complain. Besides, its what I do best. I got gas for 2.63 a gallon today.
Damn! $9 per gallon? That's crazy.$2 per litre here or $9 per gallon. Stop complaining lol
eat the rich!!!!The prices around my area very a lot depending on where your at. In my city (Sarasota fl) it's about 2.60$ average. But if you go on the islands where the mega rich live it's up to 4.50$.
Then if you go the opposite way about 15 minutes it's 2.40$.
eat the rich!!!!
lol....aerosmith are all millionares!!!
Value of money keeps dropping every day, labor costs rise and obamacare was a disaster.ok, weren't we told some years back that increasing gas prices was driving the increase in food/merchandise???? why is it that gas prices have been going down and prices are still going up???
You guys needed govt funded healthcareValue of money keeps dropping every day, labor costs rise and obamacare was a disaster.
What we need is to get goverment totally out of health care to reduce bureaucracy, regulation, corruption and costs.You guys needed govt funded healthcare
i would support an increase in the gas tax, it would be a good thing for the economy, create jobs, and repair and rebuild the infrastructure which is in dire need.....BUT ONLY ON THE CONDITION THAT THE MONEY ACTUALLY WENT TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE, AND NOT SOME OBAMA PET PROJECT!!!When the price of gas finally dropped, I kept thinking this is a chance to add to the national gas tax,
Its only a matter of time now that everybody is desensitized to certain prices that they will add in the gas tax.
For example, this bill was introduced not long ago that would double the gas tax,
http://thehill.com/policy/transportation/231740-house-dem-moves-to-double-gas-tax
There is a point in doing so, the entire countries infrastructure is falling apart, and money needs to pay for the work...but at the same time this could be easily financed by halting foreign aid for example, or the billions spent on war on drugs.
