Re: Gas prices today!!!
Fuel today in Elkhorn, NE. is $2.15 a gallon for 87 octane.
My wife always saves her fuel points at the grocery store and gets it for less. Greg

Re: Gas prices today!!!
...and adding up the numbers still doesn't fully make up the difference in the national average, so there's even more price inflation than what's described in the article. My wife and I LOVE going out there to visit. My favorite 4th of july ever was spending the week in Huntington Beach in 2019, we did the parade, fireworks, whole day, it was a dream. My wife was born in LA and grew up in Whittier, CA. We found her childhood home. The same people that bought it from her parents in 1989 still own it. We love to visit, the weather is fantastic, the car scene is amazing, but I couldn't do it... We're upper middle class in SC and we're only 4 years away from owning our house. We'd be poor as hell in CA. My house and lot in some areas of CA would be worth over a million. It's "only" worth about 300K here

Re: Gas prices today!!!
Big fire going at the largest refinery in Baton Rouge. Exxon i think. Just when prices are falling pretty good a fire happens. Imagine that.

Yes I saw it but what I read is the on duty firemen have it out. I don't know but it seems there is always a reason for the prices to jump right back up but never for them to drop.

Re: Gas prices today!!!
interesting I can't find any pictures on the interwebs but I saw this happen!
Los Angeles, CA Refinery Fire And Explosion, Oct 1992 Los Angeles (AP) - Flames fueled by escaping gas still burned Friday at a smoldering Texaco refinery, where an explosion felt 15 miles away rocked the harbor area, shattered windows and chased hundreds of people from homes. this tank complex was just on the other side of the long beach terminal island bridge and I was on a berthing barge while our boat was in drydock 1 of the naval shipyard.. we were approximately a mile at the very most away! I was standing on the quarter deck of the barge bs'ing with the watch when it exploded, saw the whole thing! unbelievable feeling!

Re: Gas prices today!!!
Don't sell your house just yet, the fun is over here now... back to $1.99/gal. Maybe that refinery fire Boog mentioned has something to do with it....

Re: Gas prices today!!!
If it goes below $2 here in MD I will be surprised. Should that happen the Dems in the statehouse will probably file legislation immediately to add more gas tax for their pet projects. Lowest I have seen so far and it seems to be stuck there is $2.19

Re: Gas prices today!!!
We only buy gas when we go to town and buy gas every time we go to town so we just have to pay whatever it is that day.

Re: Gas prices today!!!
Yesterday hot spot in Pickens SC was $1.99 today $2.15!
Gas prices increase is BS, there was no reason for it. The fire didn't stop production except to fight the fire. It was only one fire and it didn't spread according to the news! So why the jump in price?
