What the price of Gas at your Gas station? - Page 5

Buccaneer · 09-20-2006, 06:31 PM

The supply and distribution of gasoline is truly regional. I thought that had been obvious?

illinifan999 · 09-20-2006, 07:17 PM

$2.16

stevew · 09-22-2006, 05:56 AM

Down to 2.299

Ksyrup · 09-22-2006, 07:17 AM

So in the span of 4 days we went from $2.02 to $2.23 to $2.11. What, are they basing prices on chatroom rumors, or something?

I have little clue what might cause such a thing for a certain station, even in these odd times.

I'm not noticing a similar split, fwiw. Our has been, and is the traditional x/ x+.10/x+.20. I did notice that there was a bit of a greater break at the 3 dollar mark, but that was roughly 3 months ago, and only at one place IIRC.

It was reflecting the spike in crude prices earlier in the week, but started to fall again. Experts in Oklahoma are saying gas should drop for a couple more weeks until we get some colder weather. They are thinking $1.65-$1.75 range.

Ksyrup · 09-22-2006, 08:22 AM

Well, at least that makes some sense. I love how they are quick to spike the price, but slow to bring it back down. I mentioned we're back down to $2.11 now, but at most stations here, it's still at $2.18.

Actually, it was 2.279, I wasn't paying that good of attention this morning.

And man, Diesel customers are getting shafted. That stuff is still 2.849 at the stations, it seemed to always be cheaper than regular 87 before.

oliegirl · 09-22-2006, 11:51 AM

I paid $2.17 yesterday, which is the cheapest I've seen in this area so far...a lot of places are $2.19

flere-imsaho · 09-22-2006, 02:21 PM

Things are all over the place in Chicago. Our closest gas station is at $2.85 for regular, while gas on the highway I take to work (and in another county) is at $2.70. On top of that, yesterday the wife filled up in yet another county for $2.45.

TazFTW · 09-22-2006, 06:12 PM

Dropped to $2.96, first time under $3 in at least a year.

JeeberD · 09-23-2006, 10:32 AM

Yesterday morning when I went to work: $2.06
Yesterday afternoon when I got home from work: $2.05
About an hour later when I left to go to a friend's house: $2.03
Late last night when I got home from my friend's house: $2.05

Seriously...Walmart changes their gas prices much more frequently than any other gas station I've ever seen.

I'm with you on that, I live in Fort Worth and the Wal-Mart next to my house changed about 5 times yesterday, getting as low as $2.06, seemed like everytime i drove by it, it was different

I paid $2.70 yesterday and loved every minute of it.

Ksyrup · 09-25-2006, 06:48 AM

We're back down to $2.01 here. No one seems to want to break the $2 mark, for fear of having to raise it back up. But I expect it to happen as soon as tomorrow.

I'm assuming crude oil prices went up again. We were down to $1.96 yesterday morning, but up to $2.15 in the afternoon. I'm trying to chart oil prices to decide when I should next fill up.

stevew · 10-27-2006, 07:42 AM

After weeks and weeks of slow drops, going as low as 2.059 this week, we went back up to 2.199 yesterday. And I spent my whole work shift trying to explain to people that our price was merely a reflection of the current wholesale price, instead of some "gouging scheme." If the papers in the office were correct, we had actually been taking a 5 to 10 cent hit per gallon for a week or so, so I guess it was time for a correction.

Ksyrup · 10-27-2006, 07:45 AM

I'm getting sick of this "drop steadily for 2-3 weeks then shoot up 25-30 cents overnight" thing we get here. I feel like I have to read the business section of the paper to determine when to fill up. At least 5 or 6 times in the past 2 months, we have dropped steadily to around or under $2, only to shoot back up. Wednesday morning we were at $1.99, that afternoon, $2.29. Insane.

I'd rather see a steadier price in exchange for the low-ball approach. If you are correct, stevew, then why not just stick at, say, $2.15, so that the correction need not be so drastic? I don't like having to feel like I missed out on buying a stock when I see a 30 cent swing in gas in one day.

wade moore · 10-27-2006, 07:51 AM

We've floated pretty steady for the past several weeks where depending on station you get from $1.99 to $2.19...

JeeberD · 10-27-2006, 07:52 AM

I guess I should feel lucky that prices only went up 7 cents the other day rather than the 15-30 y'all are reporting...

stevew · 10-27-2006, 08:05 AM

I'll try to get a better idea of the numbers the next time I work. Basically they had 2 columns on a sheet, one being what we were selling it for, and the other being the price we were paying. It seemed like they were making 60ish cents a gallon on Kerosene, maybe like 25 on diesel, and 1-3 cents on 93. Over the past month or so 87 had steadily increased, but the selling price had slowly been going down.

I believe that our store is aggresively pricing right now to try to put another station on the corner out of business, but I can't be 100% positive of that.

Ksyrup · 10-27-2006, 08:06 AM

As I think I mentioned earlier in this thread, having just moved to KY, the overnight price hike is new to me. In Florida, prices were higher overall thanks to local taxes, but unless there was something extreme like Katrina, price drops and increases happened relatively steadily - you could see trends, and nothing hit out of the blue. Here, it's steady decreases followed by one huge increase. A 30 cent hike is pretty normal, in my experience.

So it's like playing the stock market. Now I'm thinking, "I'm at 1/4 tank and could go a few more days, but the price is at $2.04 and might shoot up before Friday, so should I fill up now and risk missing out on sub-$2 prices so I don't get caught paying $2.30?" It's frustrating. Just freaking charge $2.15-20 and wait out the price fluctuations in oil for long-term market corrections.

Yeah you usually can time it for weekends or major hollidays.

Holidays, sure, but I haven't seen increases going into weekends. This week, the increase happened on a Wednesday, and I've seen it on Monday and Tuesday as well. It's definitely tied to news items (i.e., OPEC's announcement that it was cutting a million barrels a day a couple of weeks ago lead to an immediate spike that day); I just wish they'd let the news settle and see what comes of it first instead of constantly yanking prices up and down.

Ksyrup · 11-08-2006, 06:43 AM

Ugh! It happened again yesterday!

$1.95 in the morning; drive home from work...$2.28!!!

I'm sorry, I don't know what news hit yesterday - or whether the idea of a Democrat landslide was enough to scare the oil companies (greeeaaaat!) - but nothing short of another Katrina or North Korea shooting a missile at DC should cause prices to go up 33 cents in one afternoon. That is fucking ridiculous.

stevew · 11-08-2006, 06:52 AM

I think we were still at 2.15 yesterday, making 7-8 cents over wholesale.

For QS, the 87/89/93 cent splits at the wholesale level seem to be something in the neighborhood of 8 cents per gallon consistantly.

And Kerosene is selling for something like 75 cents over wholesale. I would assume this is so that the masses with the Diesel trucks don't buy it and use it for auto fuel.

Lorena · 11-08-2006, 07:45 AM

No shit Ksyrup? Wow, that sucks. It was $2.09 when I left the gym yesterday, we'll have to see what it's like today. Of course now that elections are over, I'm expecting the prices to go up.

That's ridiculous...33 cent increase a day? WTF?!

Ksyrup · 11-08-2006, 07:52 AM

That seems to be the way they do things here in Kentucky. I've never seen anything like it. In Tallahassee, I don't think gas went up that much in one day following Katrina, although it eventually spiked pretty high.

Prices seem to come down further than in a lot of places, but when they jump back up, they really jump. It's frustrating.

JonInMiddleGA · 11-08-2006, 08:02 AM

$2.05/$2.15/$2.25 when I filled up late last night/early this morning.

stevew · 01-09-2007, 11:15 AM

So, as crude oil continues to drop below 54/barrell, we still sit at 2.349/gallon. Even worse is diesel fuel, which the last time I checked at work, was priced about 45 cents per gallon over delivery cost(2.30->2.75ish).

Mizzou B-ball fan · 01-09-2007, 11:28 AM

$1.96 and falling here in North Kansas City.

Ksyrup · 01-09-2007, 11:32 AM

Our prices have spent the past couple of months jumping to the $2.25-$2.35 range, falling to the $2.05-$2.10 range over a couple of weeks, and then - like clockwork - jumping right back up $.25-30 cents, with no tie to anything as far as I can see. It's frustrating.

Mizzou B-ball fan · 01-09-2007, 11:59 AM

One thing I will say is that living in the Midwest has its perks. Kansas and Oklahoma may be flat as a skillet, but there's oil under that skillet. Also, Texas isn't that far away either. I lived in Baltimore for a year ending in June 2006. Y'all are getting raped at the gas pump on the east coast. Time to stop using heating oil and start building dams to make more electricity.

"This is the dam tour and I'm your dam tour guide."

sterlingice · 01-10-2007, 08:37 PM

True, it's nice in the midwest. However, we still aren't immune to these irrational 15c price hikes that were hitting a week or two ago.

SI

stevew · 01-10-2007, 08:45 PM

Right now we're charging almost 35 cents over cost on 87 octane. A month ago, we were about 4 cents over cost. The Gas stations in my area are all roughly the same price, so there is a good chance all of the local stations are pricejacking at the moment.

Ksyrup This guy has posted so much, his fingers are about to fall off. Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: In Absentia	That seems to be the way they do things here in Kentucky. I've never seen anything like it. In Tallahassee, I don't think gas went up that much in one day following Katrina, although it eventually spiked pretty high. Prices seem to come down further than in a lot of places, but when they jump back up, they really jump. It's frustrating. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything. I've talked pitching with Sandy Koufax, had Kenny G play for me.

Ksyrup This guy has posted so much, his fingers are about to fall off. Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: In Absentia	Our prices have spent the past couple of months jumping to the $2.25-$2.35 range, falling to the $2.05-$2.10 range over a couple of weeks, and then - like clockwork - jumping right back up $.25-30 cents, with no tie to anything as far as I can see. It's frustrating. __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything. I've talked pitching with Sandy Koufax, had Kenny G play for me.

Kansas and Oklahoma may be flat as a skillet, but there's oil under that skillet. Also, Texas isn't that far away either. I lived in Baltimore for a year ending in June 2006. Y'all are getting raped at the gas pump on the east coast. Time to stop using heating oil and start building dams to make more electricity. "This is the dam tour and I'm your dam tour guide."

However, we still aren't immune to these irrational 15c price hikes that were hitting a week or two ago.

stevew Hall Of Famer Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: the yo'	Right now we're charging almost 35 cents over cost on 87 octane. A month ago, we were about 4 cents over cost. The Gas stations in my area are all roughly the same price, so there is a good chance all of the local stations are pricejacking at the moment. Last edited by stevew : 01-10-2007 at 08:45 PM.
