Premium @ Sam's Club here in Wilmington $3.10 gallon. $51.00 to fill Ultra!

DADoES · Jun 7, 2018

$2.669 --> $2.649.

vacerator · Jun 8, 2018

$3.20 last I checked Wednesday.

Fed Up!
Not that we need to drive a lot, but many still do.
I've curtailed my morning fishing, even locally, to slow demand.

G7 summit in Quebec City soon. Protests expected. Canada imports lots of Iowa pork. They're not happy about tariff's.

Just took a road trip to Michigan to visit family and I was surprised at the range in prices. My 18 Chevy Equinox got great gas mileage, 30.5 mpg average. Did the 550 mile one way trip on 1 1/4 tanks of gas. But I paid anywhere from 2.79 here in NJ, (and they pump your gas) , 2.99 in Ohio, and 3.15 in PA on the way back. I also noticed the range in prices at exits along 80 in PA, some as much as .20 cents a gallon.

Thats great fuel economy Jim!

Our son in law has anew Equinox and likes it a lot. The lease is also reasonable.
My step son is a Ford employee, so that's why we got the Edge. It's V6 is more thirsty, and AWD eats up one more mpg.
Hubby really wanted it. He makes the payment, and pays for most of the gas.
It's a really nice car though, roomy, and comfortable seats. He's got to have those, for his back. Any more than an hour or so in a car and he's had enough. We didn't get leather, the Sync 3, or all the extra techy options. Both seats are power though, and the drivers has power side bolsters. The rear seats even recline.
I re did his office last month. He got one of those vari desks so he can alternately sit and stand to work.

I'm wondering why the US access to Canadian and Mexican oil is never brought up in all this news about NAFTA and Trump etc. If NAFTA goes down the toilet, as I understand it, the US will no longer have the unfettered access to it that they have now

vacerator · Jun 11, 2018

Exactly Petek!

Nor is Trump telling anyone about the Canadian oil the US imports, then exports after mark up. Ontario is Michigan's main trade partner.
Nafta provided for trade parity with Canada. Remember the Auto Pact? One came here, one went there. After the UAW and Canadian auto workers split, they abolished the auto pact.
My neighbor went to Niagra Falls last weekend. She said nothing but rude Canadians. What did she expect in light of tariffs? I've been to restaurants with her and she can be outright rude anyhow. She also adores Trump, so we don't usually talk politics, except we agree some politicians are pretty out of touch. Like Betty DeVoss, and my neighbor works for charter schools.
Now I've never met a rude Canadian, but I can be objective, and rational.
You get more to like you with sugar than with salt.
Our potus is not an expert on trade, or maybe it's another deflection tactic. The Us and Canadian economies have more or less adjusted to global trade. I fear tariffs or policy changes will pout us in reverse, and we had enough of that between 2004 and 2009.
Fact is that the Hawley Smoot 1930 tariff act worsened the depression greatly as well.

Gas Prices Are Dropping Here

I noticed that the WAWA was down to 2.85 for Regular this AM.

vacerator · Jun 14, 2018

I paid $286

yesterday. I drove the 80 mile round trip to the Great lakes veterans memorial cemetery to inter my folks ashes. I set the cruise on 65, A/c on, and the instant fuel economy read out said about 26 m.p.g. At 50 m.ph., went up to 40 m.p.g.
Average is up to 18, mostly city driving. New vehicle only has 500 miles on it.

Remains $2.649.

153.0 miles trip today. 75 and 70 MPH (per posted limits), although slowed to 50/40 briefly during a heavy rain (yay!). 41.1 MPG reported.

Ultramatic · Jun 14, 2018

Went down from $2.97 to $2.93 at my local Gulf.

wayupnorth · Jun 14, 2018

Depends on where you are in the state. Right around 2.75 here. Higher in northern and southern parts of the state. Ironically, lowest prices are going towards Bar Harbor and Acadia now, according to Gas Buddy.

tomturbomatic · Jun 15, 2018

$2.73 this AM at WAWA

tomturbomatic · Jun 27, 2018

$2.63 at the 7-11 and the WAWA when I filled up yesterday in Belchville.

DADoES · Jun 27, 2018

$2.449 for a week+.

vacerator · Jun 27, 2018

Thats great news!

I paid $2.80 as well Monday. Had a funeral to go to in Ann Arbor. I think we burned more fuel sitting in traffic than moving. Normally an hour or less trip took nearly two hours. Used a quarter of the 18 gallon tank, and that's the large part on the gauge from full.
I guess it could be worse like L.A. or Atlanta. Of course this is also construction season.

vacerator · Jun 27, 2018

Let's hope prices

stabilize now, and don't spike before, or following the July fourth holiday.

tomturbomatic · Jun 27, 2018

I think they are on the way back up. There was an article on the front page today that our government is going to heavily penalize any government that buys oil from Iran and it was the extra oil that was anticipated from Iran that was supposed to help lower prices.
