Gas prices - OUCH!

[bentpshrods]

    Last Saturday I filled up at 4.91 (premium) and went for a drive. Today I had to get out of the house so I went for a drive. When I filled up this morning gas had gone to 5.03

There's a RaceTrack I pass every day to and from work.
Actually saw the price change as a I drove by over several times the last couple of weeks.

I'm in central FL, price changes have been typically $0.20 both up or down.
I came home from work on Monday, it was $4.19, next morning it was $4.49, now today (Friday) it was back down to "only" $4.34.

It's a marketing F*uck, we all panic and gasp, "gas is $4.50" then when it drops we're happy.
"Oh look, gas is only $4.34"

When we should all be remembering it was $2.50 just a year ago ...........

We shouldn't forget that it was Trump who negotiated for Saudi Arabia to slash production because $2 gasoline was killing the US oil producers profits.  Saudi Arabia hasn't returned to normal production volumes.

TDS still has a strong hold on you.  Just admit that your boy Biden is in charge now and wrecking this country.

I stopped at the Irving in my town yesterday morning to fill up my truck and the price was the same as when I filled my cuda up the day before - $5.36 for 93. I noticed a sign on the pump said cash only so I assume there credit system was down so I went to the next town over to another Irving and saw the price was $5.49 for 93. Same company, same gas but I guess stores have different owners so gas prices were 13 cents apart. Funny thing is the cheaper one is a smaller store with less traffic/business than the other one at a major intersection.

Back on March 4th 2022,  stopped for gas, wanted to pay cash and save .10 a gallon.
The cashier said the pumps are slow, please wait 5 minutes to pump, waited 5 minutes .
When pumps turned back on , prices had risen .20,went in to ask, they just shrugged their shoulders.

Just admit your only response to conflicting evidence is name calling.

It is amazing how strong TDS is,  Bad Orange Man has been gone 18 months and yet he's still the cause of our problems.............

  Good thing he is 7' tall or he would still be working as a janitor somewhere.

My $$$ saving method for gas:
When prices are rising, you fill up more often.
This way each top off will be incrementally lower than a full fill at higher price per gallon.
Conversely, when prices are dropping (yea right) I wate until tank is empty. Then a full fill at lowest price.

Doesn`t work if the price goes up - while I am driving with a full tank at $5.00 you are topping off at $5.20, if the price goes down before I have to fill up again I saved money.
