took a hunting trip down to GA. Paid $2.89 for gas. Saw $2.87. Diesel was all across the board. Sometimes at the same off ramp, prices ranging from $4.69 to $6.19. I would say the median price was about $5.29.

Looking forward to the post election jump in prices once dementia Joe's handlers decide to punish America for the Red Wave. /sarc

And Costco and the cheap local station are both up to $3.69/gallon for Regular...

New prediction: it's definitely gonna hit $4 a gallon by Jan 1st, when the state gas tax holiday expires...

strangeness
gas dropped at the cheap station to $2.69 and diesel to $4.39. Drove 20 miles to do a big fill up. spent $10 to save $60 as that is $0.50 cheaper than diesel in our town.

Out for a haircut yesterday and saw prices at $2.99 and $2.95.

Of course I still have a full tank from when I thought I was getting a deal at $3.33

And now the local Costco is down to $3.31, and the cheap local station is now at $3.37/gallon.

But, the gas tax suspension is set to expire soon, expect the price of gas to go up shortly by .25¢ a gallon just after the holidays.
