DerrickRigg Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 The closest gas station to my home in Houston is $2.73 but there are many, many stations with higher prices. I got to go to San Francisco in November and I see that they are around the $5.00 per gallon mark right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ augustus Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 This is getting terrible. Not yet $4 in my state but will soon be. Will grocery prices out of control, we are heading for double digit inflation. And they shut down the pipeline and put tens of thousands out of work! Wait until winter. What incompetent leaders we presently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t complain. Able to get filled up while others still in line. Or, they’re afraid to go around the car pumping gas when the car at the front has left.

Yes we know. There are almost always signs indication so and my Wearhouse Shopping Club has them and the signs. But like most people, I don't like to do that. I find using them that way uncomfortable and annoying. I'll wait. Some would drive in the opposite direction till the club put up signs indicating "Wrong Way". I'll wait. It's never all that long in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Axiom2001 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 On 8/7/2021 at 1:21 PM, Axiom2001 said: The price of petro in California is way out of sync. In Monterey, CA and the surrounding towns, the price for premium is in the higher $4.00 range. At one Chevron station that I spotted, it was $4.99 per gallon. Last week I went to my usual gas station and only filled my auto half way; the bill was $49.00. About four weeks ago, I rented a car that came to me full. The representative told me that I could return 3/4th full. The company did not have the model of auto that I'd reserved. Upon my returning the auto to the company, I went to Costco; the bill came to $40.00, and it was not full. How long will these prices keep escalating? When will the prices for almost everything cease being increased? Are our wages going up? Are our cheques from our retirement systems going up any time soon? I noticed at Chevron a few days back, premium petro was going for $5.00 per gallon. On 10.24.21, I purchased gas at my go-to station. Premium was 4.79 per gallon. I had some petro already in my tank. When I filled it, the total price came to a hefty $80.00. This definitely cannot continue. Danny-Darko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ pdxleo Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Sure, but with the shortage of delivery drivers, getting fuel that last step, from the local tank farm to the station, is the weak link in the supply chain. My preferred Holiday/ Kroger station can be closed at completely random times- I'm learning to keep a 1/4 tank in case the station is closed when I go by to refill. Of course, that is exacerbated by Oregon having no refineries, so all our gas is pipelined down from Ferndale or Pasco, WA, and gets disrupted by all kinds of issues.
