How much did you pay for gas today?

Is that why they call you TwoGloves?

 

Gas was down to the $1.50 range around here, and saw it as low as $1.45 a few days ago, but it's jumped up to the $1.60-1.75 range. Speedway was the culprit this time, raising its unleaded price to $1.69 sometime Monday afternoon.

 

Around here it's always QuikTrip that's the first to raise prices. They give me about 24 hours' notice to tank up elsewhere before everyone else follows suit.

 

Heard on the news that some place, maybe TX, had 39 cents.

 

I haven't seen that here -- $1.41 is still the low that I know if -- but this morning I got close. I stopped to fill up at Kroger, which was $1.48, because I thought I was going to get a 30 cents a gallon discount. Apparently, either Da Woman has bought a ton of groceries lately or we got some sort of bonus, because I ended up with an 80-cent discount and filled up a 68.9 cents per gallon. Entire fillup was less than 10 bucks.

 

Seen as low at $1.56 on the south side of RVA.

 

It's as low as 148.9 in Halifax, Virginia.

 

RBOB gas has gone up 8¢ in the last few days. Why, I have no idea. "Just because" is my default answer. And specalators. So expect a creep-up at the pump soon.

 

Down to $1.459 45 miles NE of Richmond, VA

 

Fascinating story about how Exxon Mobil (shocking, I know) gamed the system in SoCal thanks in part to a wandering ship.

Mysterious ship helped keep California gas prices high, consumer advocate says

 

Filled up at $1.39 (no discounts) last night. Less than 20 bucks total.

 

$1.34 two days ago. $1.14 with my Kroger discount. I felt like moonwalking as I filled up.
