$3.65 for regular...

My low fuel light just came on today and premium is $3.87 a gallon.  I should fill up tomorrow before it goes higher.

Watch for it to go up more this week.

Isaac is heading straight for the oil platforms if this morning's newest course holds true. Heard on the news late last night, that the platforms are all being evac'd.

Filled up the car and bought a carton of cigarettes for a total of $101.00 .  Premium- $3.99/gal. and regular - $3.79/gal.  Pretty sure the prices will go up Thursday or Friday with the 3 day weekend coming up.

As predicted, the price jumped 10cents/gal. for both grades. It will drop a few pennies on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.

Well, quit sniffing the fumes..... :-)

You know, if prices get much higher, they'll probably start charging for the fumes.

My town of 70K+ in central Illinois usually has higher prices than the small towns out in the county.  That's the opposite of the way it used to be.

Rapidly approaching $3.75 in the Seacoast region.

I mentioned earlier I filled my oil tank at $3.199/gal a couple of months ago.  Heating oil price is now 40 cents higher than it was then; IOW, I would have paid an extra $80 to fill up had I done it today.

I'm afraid to look.

The last time I checked some days ago, it was $3.71, and that was for the 85% real gasoline, 15% ethanol.

Which means at the time, real gasoline, which I use, was a dime higher, $3.81.

Like playing the futures and options market at this point.  I have to fill the MH.  Diesel ( fuel oil plus road tax ) was $4.09 when I went by Flight Line today up four cents from yesterday.   :mad:
