$3.49 on the low end at non-Arco stations here in Orange County, CA. A jump of a dollar from a month or so ago. I think some of it is due to the refinery explosion from a few weeks ago in LA county.

GAs is coming down! It was $2.25 ten days ago, then $2.19, and this am $2.17.
This is in South Jersey. Everybody get your friends to buy a Yaris (OK....a Fit) and it will come down even more. Is there anything better than colapsing gasoline prices? Sex? Drugs? Well CGP is right up there! Tell your wife! Tell your friends buy SMALL and Thrifty!

It's increasing in the U.K. for some reason.
It dropped to £1.03/litre ($1.56) a few weeks ago. Approx. $7.08/Imperial Gallon, but has steadily increased to £1.14/litre ($1.71). Approx. $7.76/Imperial Gallon. Remember, we are not called "rip off Britain" for nothing! |

Been staying around $2.249 here. I'll have to fill up again in the next few days, I hope this tank is better than the 38.3 indicated on my UltraGauge.

Montgomery county is sort of an exurb of Houston, no? I'm sure you get more progressive city dwellers around there. The religious stuff drives me nuts here! Bible Belt is alive and well, strange after spending the first 20 years of my life where religion was a non-issue and believing the Bible Belt was an old wives' tale which made a convenient scapegoat for whatever was bothering someone.

I would say the people of the southern portion of Montgomery County (where most of the population resides) are generally conservative, but reasonably sophisticated conservatives...generally well traveled, well educated folks who have experienced a fair bit of what life has to offer. Not people who most would likely consider rednecks. The website 'The Daily Caller' ranked the 20 most conservative counties in the United States. Montgomery County ranked third on that list. Number one was Williamson County, TN (suburban Nashville...includes Franklin, TN...one of the most beautiful non coastal towns/cities in the country, IMO). Number two on that list was Gwinnett County, GA (suburban Atlanta, adjacent to Fulton County where some of my relatives from California live). Montgomery County is considered sort of a 'tea party hotspot', and Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain had their debates here during the 2012 cycle. The last Democrat to carry Montgomery County in a presidential election was President Johnson in 1964. There are over 3,000 counties or county equivalents in the United States. The growth percentage in population from 2000 to 2010 made Montgomery County the 24th fastest growing county in the United States over that period of time. In 2012 I was part of a fascinating three way conversation with two very different other people. One was a single guy who moved here from the Bay Area to build his dream house, on acreage, and had a horrendous experience. He's originally from Southern California, and had been taken to party political events (he's a Democrat) starting at age four by his furniture store owner dad. The other person, sharp as a tack, was a woman in her 90s, a lifetime area resident, who had owned restaurants and invested the profits in residential real estate and the financial markets. They only seemed to agree on one thing.....that most Texans are friendly, but that it is a fake, 'Minnesota Nice' kind of friendly. I wholeheartedly disagreed with them then, and I still wholeheartedly disagree with them. I imagine that size, location, and the nature of the economy combine to make the Tyler area a place where the 'bible vibe' would be more intense (than my area), and harder to escape or ignore. |

Still going up here. I got gas about 19 hours ago. $1.98 9/10 per gallon, tied for 4th cheapest in our metro. Two stations at $1.89 9/10 per gallon were the cheapest, and another station was at $1.95 9/10 per gallon.

Got gas about an hour ago. Same price.....$1.98 9/10.... and same station (Kroger at SH 249 & FM 2920 in Tomball, TX). However this is now THE cheapest station in our metro, rather than 3 others being cheaper, as was the case last week.

Holding pattern - 2.249 here. At 5 cents/mi, I'm not complaining. Esp. since 84 miles of my last tank were paid by the company @ $0.35/mi. Pays for the whole tank with $ left over.
Engine oil? At least one of two things: 1. We have been acclimatized to higher engine oil prices 2. Volume is low enough on engine oil that cheaper base stocks haven't worked their way through to the shelf Retailers set the final price though, so it may be that they are still hedging and anticipating higher prices. Or, the heavier elements which come out of refining might be going to other uses at the moment. Who knows.

Regular gas $1.149 CAD a litre in Chilliwack this AM. I sort of smile as we were paying around 1.35 to 1.40 CAD when oil was double the price it is now. The Canadian dollar has gone down about 25% since then but even taken that into account somebody is making good money off us. Hate to see what the price will be when oil goes back up to $100 per barrel.
