Gas prices - OUCH!

[Mopsquad]

Seems that prices are on the decline for now but us Californians are still getting punched at the pump.  Paid 5.83 for premium.  Off from a 7.19 high for me.

We are still at 4.80 in the mountains.  Doesn't change much for us.  A whole 20 cents!!

Raleigh area...lowist i saw is $3.71 for regular.   Need it to drop another $1 to get back to the prices before Russia/Ukranine war

[70vert]

filled up at $3.62 for regular in Houston today, getting closer to normal. but honestly I'm not sure we'll ever see it below $3 again, too much turmoil and unknown supply worldwide.

Still paying over $5 for premium here in the New England, 89 for the truck is high $4`s, at least it`s coming down and didn`t go up to $6 or over.

Election is over. SPR is down to minimums.  Hope you enjoyed the cheap fuel through summer.

Compare the chart for fuel inventories now, vs last April/May when thread started.

So true, depleted all our reserves for short term affect, elections are over and prices will go back up.

But, it's got electrolytes!....................

It looks to me like the declining pattern this year looks like the same pattern as last year when there was no election. Just saying.

I just got regular for $4.17 today in the Chicago burbs.
The lowest it got this summer was maybe mid $3's.
What some of you guys need to remember is that the governments is some states suspended their gas taxes when the prices were skyrocketing in spring.
The taxes weren't permanently canceled, just suspended for the year.  So you'll be in for a rude awakening in the near future when the taxes return and gas jumps 40 or 50c.
Here in Illinois our governor suspended a gas tax increase for the year.  So we saved a whopping 2.8c a gallon! 
We'll get that tax returning in January and another scheduled 2023 increase too.  Wonderful....
Watching supply data and world events I'm not optimistic about fuel prices, whether your talking gasoline, diesel or natural gas, they will likely be pretty oppressive next year.
Don't forget the president draining the strategic oil reserve for months trying to manipulate gas prices.  Now that the elections are over, that will be ending.
I've been lamenting egg prices lately, not that buying a dozen eggs every other week affects my financial situation much.
For years now I always paid .99 to 1.79 for eggs.  Now they are $4-5 every time I look.
How did that common food item more than double in only a year?
Of course most items are way up.  In another thread we were discussing car part and fluid prices skyrocketing.
The economic stability we enjoyed for several decades seems to be history.

In Houston : Just filled up yesterday at Exxon - $2.81, they don't charge extra for credit card purchases and get cash/points with their rewards card.
I used to go to Costco for the lowest prices around but everyone else did as well and I can't stand waiting in line! GasBuddy app shows they are $2.76.

Bargain bin pricing in CA relatively speaking  .  I just paid $5.59 per gallon premium for the Hellcat.  TG it's only 10mins to work.

[71-440]

Right around $3.15 a gallon in Kennesaw/Marietta area.

I put 89 octane in my Ram - $3.89 at the cheapest Irving station, 93 octane was $4.23. Fortunately I`m retired so not driving the 80 mile round trip I used to do for work.
