... I drive pretty much just back and forth from work to home, so this will typically last me 3-4 months. Big Grin

I filled up both my cars, they were both below 1/4 tank. Would have done it tomorrow morning, but I figure there is no chance it is going down and a good chance it is going up.

Wait - where are you getting gas for $1.23 a gallon?

Did I miss something?


Re: Speaking of filling up... - ztirffritz - 09-16-2019

That’s more gas than I used last year.

My record is still 2700+ miles on a single tank, over 6 months.

$20 might go half a week. And its all kid to school commuting.

I work at home, and wife works less than a mile away.

Nope, you were apparently the only one paying attention. Very cheap gas in my state + Winn-Dixie Fuelperks ($0.85 discount/gallon in my case) = really cheap gas!

Not the very best I've done ... once previously, I paid $12.99 for 20 gallons. Still, I was pretty happy with this, especially since I'm pretty sure we're going to go up another 15-20 cents a gallon in the next two weeks.

When Sheetz came to our town they said they would be the low price leader, Liars!
They were the one of the first to go up last night according to GasBuddy. They're
currently $0.12 higher than most stations around. Some have yet to go up. Most
are still sitting at $2.21-2.24. Love's also went up quickly last night.

Which I dont get. Think I read we get less than 10% of our oil from SA, which I think is more of a gesture than an actual "need".

Its still $3.15 here, about the same its been for few months +/- 10¢

$2.56/gal for regular at Costco, $2.66 and up nearby (Allentown PA)

We're picking up a modified 1983 Benz 300D this week, it can run straight WVO which is basically free fuel from local restaurants, and 30 MPG.

We might run straight diesel in the winter, or a blend, to reduce viscosity a bit.

$2.259 for Top Tier brands south of Wilmington, DE
(Christian, Newark, New Castle; as long as it's not near the Interstates).
So basically no change in two weeks!
