3.39 here in WNC
3.40 here, and we are usually the cheapest for gas😫
Closest stations between $2.99 and 3.19 here today in Rhome Texas, filled up at Kroger a few days back using fuel points for 2.79.9 had to drive 18 miles to get there so shot about a gallon and a half to get there, but needed groceries anyway...
$ 3.24 average here
3.27 in Wisc
Our gas is hitting around 5 bucks again 😱

Ours is well over 4 bucks, and diesel is over 5 on the Washington coast.
Nope, gas is traded as a commodity, so it's pricing has more to do with how traders read the news or devine chicken entrails then anything political. The Gov collects taxes, doesn't control prices.
High prices for diesel fuel=High prices for everything.
I'm south of Lady Rae - It cost me two gold krugerrands to fill my truck.
That door you just kicked in was locked for your protection - not mine.
The govt absolutely controls gas/fuel prices. No, they dont have a switch to change the prices on individual gas stations. BUT their crazy policies do DIRECTLY cause fuel prices to increase!
I agree with @mike55 those taxes are not the only thing they control, government policies influence supply/demand which is a big factor in gas & oil commodities... stick to critters @He Dog you're much better at that...imho.
Prices are higher on the "Rich" side of town around here. Been that way for as long as I can remember, and they seem to get plenty of business.
But in fact it is the commodity traders that do the buying so a foggy day can cause a price increase. A bad yearly weather forecast causes the price of pork bellies to rise and so it is with oil. There is little rationality to the stock or commodities markets. I made my retirement betting against the market. And thanks for the compliment amigo, though I am probably not.
I remember as a young man laughing at one of my buddies joking that the day would come when we would pull up to the pump and say "Gimee a hundred dollars worth of regular." In January I bought $101 worth using kroger fuel points!
Our Kroger tops out at 35 gallons per visit, my old 95 f250 has the largest tanks at 2 each 18 gallons or so I've got close to a hundred bucks a few times but usually around 80 dollars using points, I think once I didn't get to top off the second tank before I hit the limit...
In Europe they pay as much for a liter as we pay for a gallon.
Two convenience stores nearest me. Both ExxonMobil. One was $3.29, the other $3.09. WTH?
