| 2.42 at Costco for the 87. The official blame in price increases was the weather and winter blends. Truth is you’ll pay whatever because they’ve got what you need. The real good premium no ethanol was 3.49 Phillips 66. |

Did you notice any increase before the TX cold snap?

A gentleman from Southern California had made a remark, but maybe had a change of heart, deleted it.

His post included politics, and it got deleted. I think.
Up to $2.55 here today,with no signs of stopping the upward rise. Last summer, I had a friendly wager on here that we would hit $2.50 by July 4th. This year, I am gonna do the same and say $3.50 by July 4th. Same metrics apply. I use one local station, and I will watch their price for this wager.
Hey Zeen, are you still out there and ready for round two?

Gas has been $4.00+ intermittently for 40 some years manipulated by the refineries so I don't see anything new.
It's only $70 a barrel now but it has been $115 in the past I believe.

Was 2.75 last week after the Texas deep freeze, and this week it's 2.95 for the "cheap stuff". Before the Texas deep freeze it was 2.55 a gallon. It's been hoping up in 20 cent steps. Add 60 cents to that for premium.
Reminds me of the old days of 25 cent jumps for every hurricane that came near the USA. Doesn't help that we're at the end of the pipe line.
A buddy and I have a bet going on, will it be 4 bucks or 4.50 by Memorial day weekend? Either way we lose.
