Title: Current Fuels Pricing in your Area
Post by: FL SAAC on March 19, 2020, 01:50:57 PM
Costco 40 cents lower than any fueling station in the area.

93 octane at 2.39

87 octane at 1.89

That's lower than all the Shell, Mobil, Exxon, Chevron all other name brands in town.  Oh and by the way guess where Costco picks up their gasoline at Port Everglades terminal?

Shell, Mobil,  Exxon, Chevron and at all the major players terminals !

Bought some Sunoco 100 unleaded yesterday, $8.99/gallon.

Similar for 100 octane leaded. 

I don't think Costco sells it... ;D

we were still around $2.19 for 87 this evening, I got home right about at "curfew" (8 PM)... sounds like our area is not dropping as quickly as some others?

Dang, Costco is doing a number on all the retailers on the island!

We where out about three years ago and several big box stores and local business where closed or barely hanging on.

One dollar is a huge difference

However, lines for Costco pumps are so long with idling engines, I am sure quite  a few are not getting much of a savings.   8)

Spent time working on the carbon footprint of three rides as cruising on low traffic roads is quite nice.  Decided to shelter in a Shelby. 8)

I just got home from a 45-mile ride in the Shelby. The sun is high, bright and it is dry. Fuel was 1.89 for 93, 87 was 1.49.
I never had anything with an automatic transmission until I was about 32 years old. There is just something about rowing through the gears of a four speed Toploader. 
It's just good for the soul.

Filled my Explorer on Sunday, $3.53 a gallon for 89 octane in Carpinteria, CA.  Running anywhere from $3.05 up for regular between Ventura and Santa Barbara.  Fortunately, being a retired Chevron employee, I get a .10 gallon discount. Still, fairly high prices.

Yep. Up until 2016, NJ had a low to middle-of-the-road level fuel tax. However, the State is broke, and has one of the lowest bond ratings (etc)... so the tax was raised about .25 per gallon. then we find that an "Easter egg" was also included with the new tax... if "$x"  revenue was not raised, the tax would go up again (2018), and could go up some more.
NJ thus has been raised up to solidly in the "top 10" in gas tax  :o
If the oil was free, our gas still wouldn't be cheap  :(

I fly up to Ickyca ( Ithica) a few times a year to see my daughter. They live a few miles from the PA border and I would drive to Sayer for fuel.  It used to be worth it.

   $2.55 for regular yesterday in So Cal. Should go lower next week. We have about $1 in taxes so $2 .00 should be rock bottom.

Just two miles? I have driven every day this week. Most of the ID-10 T's are home playing video games so much lighter traffic than usual and a few places to open it up a little bit.

We're about $2.39 a gallon for regular, $3.05 for premium.

I was running an errand (2.5 miles each way) and had too much work in the yard since it hasn't rained (flooded) in 3 days.   ;)

It really hurts to see these numbers. As of today, the prices in Honolulu have dropped about $.35/gal in the last month are hovering around $3.29/gal for 87.  Costco is "down" to $2.39.   :(

Those lower numbers are pretty impressive (ie low) considering state tax plus Federal tax adds about 50c to each gallon. More like 70c if you live in PA.

I paid 185 here for 93 last night.  I've had my car out every day this week with the exception of one.  If you stay away from grocery stores it's otherwise relatively quiet.

I'm near LAX, so stations tend to run somewhat higher than other places in LA, but a nearby Arco dropped below $3, haven't seen that range around here for awhile.  The Costco near us is $2.55 for regular, $2.75 for premium.
