With all the conflict in the Middle East, the lower gas prices are mind boggling.
$2.98 at Sam's for regular, here in Central FL.

It's all supply & demand, gas "almost" always goes down in fall/winter as fewer people are taking driving vacations. The price drop has been predicted for over a month!

FYI - just paid $2.65 per gallon for regular at Exxon, in Houston.

Apparently New Yorkers don't take driving vacations because the price hasn't come down here. Lol.

I'm doing my best to get it out of the ground but it's definitely been a battle over the last 8 years....

It's apparent the administrations from both countries failed to realize a great economy is dependent on fuel at a good price. When oil/gas spikes the economy tanks. Similar situations in the early 70's. Some leaders never learn.

Unfortunately not about learning.
It remains about controlling the narrative.
Yes, current prices are down. Because of looming winter along with a solid economic slowdown.
High fuel prices remain the current administration's plan. The higher they are, the more will convert to ev as is the long term plan/push.

Anyone else see swings of $0.10 to $0.20 Daily?
I reported $3 less than a week ago, it's now $3.25.

I sometimes see a price 10cents lower in morning on the way to work,  then higher on the drive home?

Yep. All fuel sold is based on current market price. Regardless of what the actual purchase price was when station refilled. This "balances" the high and lows for the stations.

At home you can get Reg for 2.99 some places even a little less. When I just was in Nevada $4.50 range, Cheapest I saw in Phoenix 3.77, most places over $4 in Arizona

Turbo Blue has topped out at $9.99 a gallon and some stations have quit selling because their pumps only go to $9.99 a gallon.  Hope it comes down soon or will not be available anywhere . .

I topped off Tuesday out in a Chicago collar county for $3.29 minus a 5c a gallon discount using my Shell rewards card, and now am glad I did.  Gas went up about 50c overnight I noticed yesterday.  WTH, I was getting spoiled by these low gas prices!
Oh well, driving season is basically over, I put the convertible away for winter the other day, topping off with some gas from the station near my house for $3.49 a gallon after putting a couple gallons of $6 a gallon AVgas mixed with with some Stabil 360 in the tank for my winter storage brew.

Still around $3.25 for regular or slightly below in New Hampshire, of course I put 89 in my Ram and 93 in the Barracuda so I pay around $3.50 for 89 or just over $4/gallon for 93.
