We should pass a law to reduce inflation.

We cannot afford to do that.

---

Call it the inflation reduction act and make it do the exact opposite?

Asking for a friend... :-"

Only retarded and crooked congress critters would pass a law to reduce inflation.
And a retarded and crooked President to sign it.

under $4/gal for regular in a lot of places here, to the point where it seems really strange to see the guy still charging $4.35.

It's floating around $4.15 ish for regular grade here in north central MA.

Walking $0.00 but some wear and tear on shoes.

Electric bike $0.00 to recharge (costs some but don't really see it in the electric bill, probably costs less than firing up the oven to make some tater tots).

Most of my travel is local in this small town so no need to really fire up the car much. Day to day needs and any daily travels are within a 1 mile radius.

I get my gas for a discount price cause know people. Biden gave me a discount card while all yous fool got the shaft. Better be glad it wouldn't my shaft cause thats all you be talking about know if it was.

In NH it ranges from 3.97 to 4.55 in the White Mountain area.

Gas is now over $8 in California

North Texas - now up to 14 cents per kWh.....

Paid $4.04 at WaWa today.. but I filled up with the ethanol free gas. Regular was $3.39 with the 10% ethanol.

Been getting around 17 mpg and wanted to see if there's any improvement with the ethanol free stuff... just outa curiosity.

MAC get a Wawa credit card and you will get $.05 a gallon credit.

Wawa here $4.12 before credit.

Now that Macs is free from tax hell, he's got a surplus of cash. He cares not for your paltry savings tips.

but gas costs less in "taxachusettes"?

I think Gerald Ford did that at grocery stores during the '70s, when unemployment and interest rates where astronomical.

looking for my old Whip Inflation Now pin.
Must be worth double what I paid.

That "surplus" of cash is gonna take a massive hit next Wednesday at closing... when I have to fork(lift) it over. 🤦

But yeah, I'm a 1 credit card kinda guy. Easy to keep track of spending that way and I have NFCU's rewards card, so I do ayite.

May your new home be one filled with Joy and Prosperity.

We already know its chock full of Freedom.

I'm really happy for you.

Is it the end of the line for gas-price declines?

Gas prices declined for a 10th straight week in Florida and the nation, but analysts say the party might be coming to an end. Last week’s 11-cent drop pushed Florida’s average price to $3.53 on Monday. Average prices in South Florida, with the region’s higher overall cost of doing business, were $3.61 in Broward County, $3.73 in Palm Beach County, and $3.64 in Miami-Dade County. “Gas prices are still falling, but not quite as fast as they did in recent weeks,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for travel club AAA.

Refineries are (have been) transferring over to make winter blends over the past month and gas stations can start selling winter blends on Sept 15 meanwhile they are purging their supply of summer blend. Winter blend gas typically costs a few cents less/gal than summer blends.

One impact that affects gas prices are the mandates on refineries to make seasonal changes in the blends that they sell. Summer grades of gas costs a bit more than winter grades.

"As gasoline demand decreases and temperatures cool, retailers can switch to selling winter-blend fuel beginning September 15. While these winter-blend fuels are cheaper to produce, the complications of the switchover can result in a temporary bump in price. Weather conditions, such as hurricanes, can also affect gas prices in the late summer to fall months.

By the end of September, gas prices generally decrease as the switchover processes and demand continues to fall. And despite conspiracy theories, lower gas prices do not correlate to pre-election politics."

With that said, the demand for heating oil (diesel fuel) will increase as the winter sets in.

There is no one simple explanation for the up and down of fuel prices. Energy policies, mother nature (hurricanes), seasonal blend changes, world politics, the economics of supply and demand all play a role and are all intertwined. Some have bigger impacts than others.
