Farmington ,New Mexico ---- Discount stations such as grocery stores are the cheapest here. Today they are posting regular at $2.97, diesel at $3.09. Brand named stores are $.06 to $.10 more. Nearly all fuel here comes from a local refiner that's 15 miles away. The same refiner supplys fuel to stations in Albuquerque , and after hauling it 180 miles, sell it for less. Go figure !!! ???

ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel): $3.29/gal
Regular Unleaded: $3.05/gal.
Shell station in San Diego, CA on 09-01-06.

Former diesel fuel: LSD (Low Sulfur Diesel) was $3.39/gal
And Regular Unleaded was $3.27/gal.
At this same Shell station on 08-18-06.

2air’ mentioned a good idea:
Moderators please combine this three-year-old thread with:
Off Topic Forum thread: "Fuel Price Watch", started 09-23-05
http://www.airforums.com/forums/f161/fuel-price-watch-18423.html

And it would be great if the combined "Fuel Price Watch" thread
Could be moved to the appropriate Forum:Towing (Hitches, Braking, and Vehicles)

(Thanks 2air’ for all of your good ideas and observations!
The ladies should invite you to be guest speaker at their rallies!)

Interesting to note that this thread started a year and a half ago at $1.50 and now today here in Sumter it hit $2.50 and they're dancing in the streets.

Mid-MO: Regular gas = $2.39 That's down .20 in 3 days in two different drops. What's happening here? No move yet in diesel-why?

Today in Milton, ON unleaded was around 88 cents per litre which is about US$3.00 per US gallon. Earlier in the week it was down to 79 cents per litre which is about $2.66 per US gallon.

My guess diesel will not come down like the gasoline prices have. Probably because diesel is used so much for winter heat in some parts of the country.

Here in the Omaha area I see 89 octane (10% alcohol) going for $2.46. Has dropped about 40 cents in a relatively short time. Nice.

Kiplinger Letter

For all of you Kiplinger Letter readers out there.... and other interested parties.. this blurb just came out today......thought this was interesting.. if forecast plays correct, it shows how we sit on a teeter-totter....called the oil can... so hurry-up..fire up your tow vehicle while can.. get that Airstream on the road.. it's time to take a road trip...
The oil price outlook has taken a surprising downward shift
in the past couple of weeks. Why? More-sanguine forecasts
on this year’s hurricane season. No sign so far that tensions with
Iran
are escalating. Oil inventories that are more plentiful than expected. And the psychological boost from the big discovery in the
Gulf of Mexico, even though it probably won’t produce a drop of crude until 2009 or so.
IF there’s smooth sailing, expect oil at $60 a barrel by year end
and the average U.S. pump price for gasoline around $2.25 a gallon.

Yreka, Calif.

Chevron gas prices today: Regular $3.09 naturally all the others were higher. A couple of days ago the regular was $3.05 at same station. But it is Friday... we are on I-5.... Our prices are always really high.

Back in 09/06/2006 gas was around $2.69 per gallon as per this thread. This morning regular pump your own was $2.39 per gallon. So after over 1,500 posts we are almost back to where we started! This is some cool history.
