Gas Prices, am I right?!

I can't find the other thread. Last Tee problems. Anyway I saw a few places today in north Texas at 295.9. Yay.

$4.99 at Costco in SoCal yesterday. Still waiting for demand to plunge since CA outlawed gas cars. Another week or two and we should be below $2.

Sparky At least you will be saving money on electricity. There isn't any.

Sparky I know the weather is nice, but I can not fathom living in that mess. Best of luck on your inevitable relocation.

Dammit, Sleepy Joe did it again! LMAO

Sparky from September 2022. Funny, my son was just home visiting from San Fran and he's still driving a gas powered car.
What happened?

PapaD @sdandrea1 Since you are out in the great west, what is gas there?

$4.47 here in nowhere, Alaska. About the same down in Anchorage.

Ynotgolf thank you, that was a great laugh.

sdandrea1 Thank you, expected higher. Only been to Alaska once and remember everything was more expensive. Those mountains always had my attention back in the days of low-level flying.

$3.99 is the best I can find

johnnydoom

$3.29 when I filled up last Sunday.

Diesel is currently $6.03.... I'm putting $200.00 in for the rest of the week.

Got a buddy that’s over in Wales right now and diesel is down to $8.50 a gallon

$2.96 with Circle K Easy Pay here in south GA. That said, it's still WAY too high.

There are always ways to save $$ on gas. I only use Shell. They have a card where I get at least .05/gal. off. This can go higher, if purchasing items in the convenient store part. Also, it is linked to my local grocery chain and I have had as much as $1.86/gal off( limit 20 gal.), when the store has specials, as they do every week. ex. .60/gal off for every $60 spent.
I'm sure many stations have something similar. A nickel isn't much, but it is something, esp. if it can be compounded.

Par4QC I have a rewards card that gets me 3% back on gas all the time, I’ve never had such an insane rewards balance in the 6 years I have had the card. I guess this is how we build back better, just use your rewards to buy groceries 😂

It is a mess, but it is a beautiful mess. Having lived in two low cost states (Texas and Kansas), California was a shock no doubt. But where I live, we have 350 days per year where the weather is 60-80F and dry. 5 minutes to the beach. 90 minutes to the mountains. CA has warts, big ones, but it also has advantages you don't get anyplace else.

No plans to relocate, ever. However, I am looking forward to retirement and living off cash reserves for 5-6 years so that I can get every handout imaginable. 😁

Par4QC

DC300 Yeah, I forgot about the cc rewards, on top of the discounts. I've got 1 right now that is at 5%, for a couple months. But, as I said, I last bought gas in mid July, and still have over 1/4 tank. Gas prices really don't bother me much. But I do cross over to Iowa, and use the discounts. Huge savings, even if it is once every couple months.

$3.39 in my town but the station I usually fill up at gives you another .05 off for cash, so $3.34 there. Most towns around
here are still around $3.70 or at least in the $3.60's.

mulegolf

HyVee grocery stores have a great recurring promotion at least every other week it seems. If you purchase at least a set amount of groceries (usually around $60 to $100) you then get 30 cents per gallon off the price at their gas station. Sometimes the set amount is specific to particular products and sometimes the amount you get off the regular price changes but I've gotten up to 85 cents per gallon off the stated price when I filled up. I can remember one time I still had a half tank of gas but filled up the rest of the tank for $3.51 total.

Par4QC

mulegolf Hyvee is where I go. If you have a Shell rewards card (it's not a cc) it can be linked to your Hyvee rewards card.

mulegolf

Par4QC If you have a Shell rewards card

There are no Shell stations in my area. The closest one is about 65 miles from me, but both of the HyVee stores (both about 30 miles away) have gas stations with them.

Par4QC

mulegolf Dang, you must live in the boonies.
This Shell station is right across from HyVee, and always cheaper.
