Re: Gas Prices?
Apparently, the station where I saw the lower price was asleep at the switch? Today, they are up with everyone else. $3.69

Re: Gas Prices?
It's California... They've never met anything that they didn't want to tax to death. The highest in the nation. At least we're #1 at something.
I'll take what I can get because that's all I have. $5.49 is okay I guess. Better that 7 bucks. Sad but true. But that's the pond I'm swimming in.

Re: Gas Prices?
Yep, they gotcha. We all have to pay whatever the price.
Looks like our prices did jump back up a bit after all. About ten cents, $3.79.9

Re: Gas Prices?
Dropped a dime here locally, as in lowered from $3.49 to $3.39. With no power over the price I'll take what I can get on the lowering scale.
I didn't rat somebody out by "dropping a dime", LOL

Re: Gas Prices?
Trivia: Do you know where the term "Dropping a Dime' originated?
I don't know where the term "Rat' came from I don't know what rats have to do with telling on somebody.

Seems I recall the dropping a dime originated from when phone calls "used" to be dime when there were actually phone booths on every other corner. A phone booth was easy to use to anonymously turn some in to the police or a rival organization. ????? Being a RAT I believe originated from the fact a rat will turn on it's own kind if the circumstances are dire enough to prevent it's own survival? Boy, this thread got off on a tangent with this.

Re: Gas Prices?
Yup California will be a third world state. People will be rebuilding older cars for ever and since they dont rot it's possible to have a car indefinitely. Where we live not so much always makes me laugh when NY adopts California vehicle regulations. Not often do you see a 25 year old car as a daily year round driver .

Re: Gas Prices?
As a life long Californian I have to say that I'm embarrassed by this state.
We aren't all idiot's here folks. But we've got plenty of them.

Re: Gas Prices?
Low price here today is $3.05. Others here dropped to $3.10 this week but jumped back up to $3.29 yesterday.
I swear, I cannot figure out their reasons for hikes and drops or when. Used to we could expect price changes on certain days of the week, but not anymore.

Re: Gas Prices?
It has slowly inched back to the low of $3.35 from a couple of weeks ago. Just a few days after getting to that point, it spiked back up to $3.69, so dropping a few cents here and there since.

I try not to look at the price anymore. My blood pressure is high enough already.

Re: Gas Prices?
I've noticed this week it's about $.20 cheaper than it was my last post. Regular is $3.59.9. Good thing because I'm about due a gas stop. It's tank by tank. What a mind game? I'll feel this time because it's cheaper than last time. Not cheap, just cheaper. If it goes up 10c I'll feel
What I find odd is no matter what the price in this latest gas situation they are more unified than I ever recall. All summer long, with the ups & downs, almost every station has had the same price.

Re: Gas Prices?
Gas prices dropping pretty quick around here seems like 10 cents every other day or so. Down to $3.35 for regular yesterday afternoon. You would almost think an election is coming up soon

Re: Gas Prices?
OPEC Plus Agrees to Cut Production by 100,000 Barrels a Day
OPEC said Monday it would reduce oil production next month, the cartel's first output cut since the depths of the pandemic, as it braces for a global economic slowdown to hit demand. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allied oil producing nations, including Russia, agreed to shave 100,000 barrels per day off their production targets in October. Just a month ago, the OPEC+ group agreed to increase production in September by the same small amount — equivalent to about 0.1% of global demand — after coming under intense pressure from the United States and other big oil consumers to do more to bring down energy prices and inflation. |
