What is the cost of fuel in your area?

[Larry in MO]

Sorry, Kani, but we had a little bounce yesterday. $1.52 for unleaded.

If the folks in the middle east stop shooting at each other it will calm down.

We were flirting between $1.20-1.25 on Friday. Yesterday QT bumps up to $1.49 and everybody follows.

Diesel - Walmart in Waveland, MS $2.02 - cheapest yet.

We had to go to Denver today and are still seeing slight declines. I filled up for $1.26 off Sheridan blvd. Here in the mountains we've moved to a low of $1.77 and a high of $1.93. Once the ski season ends the gap between our town and Denver will be within 10 cents. Our local fuel stations take advantage while they can.

Up about 10 cents around Cooterville.

1.39 per gallon regular, Harrisonburg, Virginia first day of the new year!
Get ready for a move up in price, probably 2.25 a gallon is something to get
used to for the next ten years. If you want to protect yourself from higher average
prices you could make an investment in oil shares that would offset your costs. Hedge now or Headache later!
That's my two cents for the new year!

At Sam's in Grand Junction, $1.37. When we drove through Hotchkiss, 28¢ more. Apparently they bring it there by 5 gallon cans in a Lexus.

Yesterday evening I paid 1.96 for diesel at Wal Mart in Port Lavaca Tx. That was up from 1.93 a couple of days ago. Looks like it's inching back up.

Wholesale gas is up around 30¢/gallon in the last few weeks ($1.19 yesterday). The Gaza situation and successive production cuts by OPEC have affected the market. Actually it seems retail prices have not increased as fast as wholesale. If there's a cease fire in Gaza, maybe prices will stabilize or drop a little.

Back when I was a kid, prices in a seemingly perpetual gas war in NJ were 14.9¢. I think it was 1947 when we used to go see my grandparents in Rutherford. Adjusted for inflation, now that would be $1.37, exactly what we paid a few days ago. Gas cost more outside of NJ—so if it were 19.9¢ in 1947, it should be $1.83 today.

This is approximately the range of prices now, same as 1947. The prices we paid in the late '90's often were less than in the late '40's.

This is true, but adjusted for inflation, a lot of things are cheaper now than in the 1940's.
