Also winter is coming, and home heating oil these days is basically diesel these days...

Meanwhile, with summer over, gas prices continue to fall - Costco just dropped to $3.63/gallon. I fully expect the cheap local station to close the gap in the next week or so.
There's still demand for diesel.

I just checked, and it dropped to $3.50 at the local Costco and $3.55 at the local cheap station...
Now they're both 3.49.

Filled up Tuesday away from the main routes at $3.10. Other places seem to be floating around $3.30 in upstate SC.

In some driving earlier in the week, I saw two stations at $2.96 (of course my tank was full). Several were at $3.05-3.10. Immediate area around us is now $3.25 to $3.30, with one gas station that lowers prices mon-thurs and bumps them up Fri-Sun a bit lower at $3.15, yesterday (wed).

A friend lives south of Nash in a wealthy town. They are $3.55-3.89

Down to $3.43/gallon at Costco and the local cheap station..

My guess is it will be down to 3 bucks a gallon by Christmas.... And the the tax holiday will end....

At the cheapest place for gas in the area, it was $2.84/gal here in CenTex before I left to visit my parents in NC last Thursday. Got home Sunday morning and that station had jumped to $3.06/gal. Don’t know if it’s a demand side or supply side pressure, but the slow slide back down has definitely hit a speed bump.
