My truck is equipped for E85 and last year i found a place that sold it. I got it for 2.75 a gallon with my Kroger plus card...thought i got a great deal, until the next day it was all gone. I think i got like 4 mpg, and it had no power also. Never again!!

Re: Gas prices
 

Dave, ain't that E85 wonderful, you might as well put the pure stuff in, methenol, it wouldn't foul your system much worse, I just ck'd Gas Buddy, and it's at $3.95 already today, just a few days ago, they were telling us, it'd be back to just over $3.00, in a week or so, so much for that BS! Bob!:7:

Re: Gas prices
 

Dave,
you are full of gas as always

Re: Gas prices
 

I heard a refinery was having some issues and once these were resolved the gas prices would drop down again.:10:

Re: Gas prices
 

I've never understood how a refinery problem or the price of oil changing can effect the price of gas that the stations already have.

Re: Gas prices
 

Charge more for what they have now since it could take longer to get more? No idea.

The refinery in Tulsa had some kind of explosion overnight and crews battled a fire for a few hours that took the refinery offline. Says it handles over 125k barrels of crude/day. Not sure whey go from there, but...

Re: Gas prices
 

Well, I can tell you that most stations get fuel and or gas deliveries multiple times in a week. Thus if the price changes daily we change ours. IT IS NOT the stations that are making money. Gas, lottery and tobacco aren't called lost leaders for nothing. These 3 things are federally regulated (go figure the no profit). I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night, I just own a station. And if anyone would like to run just the gas come on down.

Re: Gas prices
 

There was indeed an explosion at the HollyFrontier refinery early today in Tulsa. It was in a section that produces diesel fuel. Why should that impact gasoline prices?:10::10:

SWEET!!!

Re: Gas prices
 

Oil prices down 1.78 today --- now what is the excuse ???

Re: Gas prices
 

Two words, Wall Street, Speculators. I know how to fix it and I have a feeling it will be here before we know it. Take a look at natural gas prices, a month ago they had no place to put it because they had so much, abracadabra now there is a shortage and prices are going up.

It's my fault. Word leaked out that the wife and I have a big road trip planned. Sorry guys.

Re: Gas prices
 

The practice of speculating. Its nothing but pure theft. The oil companys run the world. Being a contractor I figure it would be nice if I could wake up in the morning see it's gonna rain for a couple of days and hit my customers with a rate increase to cover my down time. They got us and the whole world by the balls.

Re: Gas prices
 

After traveling all over Central Indiana today:31:, the one thing that was constant was $3.95 gas. I get back to the Redbud City and we have one station that is still selling for $3.05. I stopped to fill the car and then came back home and got the truck to fill up. Good part I was able to fill up for .90 cheaper than I thought I would be able. Bad part was, it took me an hour and a half just to get through the mass of humanity trying to do the same.:10::15:

The only thing I can tell you Dave is be careful what thingy you put your plastic thingy in.:18: It can get you into some real trouble if you are not careful.:14:It may seem free but the day of the free lunch is over my friend.:)

And to you Shortbus, you might want to consider getting that bike out and start peddling. Might also call Lloyd and put him on a retainer as your personal chauffeur.

Re: Gas prices
 

The oil companies do what they want as far as setting their prices.They always have record profits every quarter and always will.It doesn't matter whether a donkey or elephant is in office,ALL of them are on the oil companies payroll,maybe not up front,but they are. So in the end we reach into our billfolds and pay for all of it.

Re: Gas prices
 

$3.99 here in Springfield. I think they charge us more tax in Illinois to incarcerate our last two governors.

Re: Gas prices
 

Gas is relatively cheap at our house. All it costs is $1.75. That buys us a can of Bush's Baked Beans to eat and we have plenty of gas.:5:

Passed buy a gas station close to home. The price of regular is $3.89 but the price of Diesel is $3.69. So not only does the equivalent deisel engine get better fuel mileage they are getting a better break at the fuel pump as well.:43::

Re: Gas prices
 

What do not understand is the difference in gas prices. Here in Indy there are a BP and Speedway accross the street form each other and gas was 3.95, a mile up the road an Admiral was 3.69 and a little over a mile away was a Kroger at 3.57. If Kroger can sell gas at 3.57, why can not the other stations do the same?

Re: Gas prices
 

As of this morning, $3.49 in Bridgeport, IL.

Re: Gas prices
 

Well, the only way to get the oil companies attention is to hit them where it hurts by taking money out of their pockets so to speak. My idea would be to have like a two or three day boycott on buying gas, but the possibility of that happening is slim and none. I know everyone has to work and we all love racing but I think it would at least get their attention. The oil companies are gonna charge whatever they want for gas cause they know we are gonna fork over the money to pay for it, no matter how expensive. So, this is just a thought that I know is very unlikely to happen but I think it would get some attention. So everyone have a blessed day and an awesome weekend of racing :31:

Re: Gas prices
 

I filled up on Tues in Oswego, N. Y. at $3.63 with 60 cents off for spending money at the grocery store I paid $3.03. When I have grocery store money built up like that I try to get as close to empty as possible to take advantage of the 20 gallons you can get at the discounted price. Since I filled up prices had gone up 4 cents as of Thursday. Guess gas prices aren't so bad in Central N. Y. for once, I have always found them higher than Indiana, have to wonder why the difference this time?

Re: Gas prices
 

That would only be effective if EVERYONE would do it. Even if that was possible, everyone would eventually get the fuel that they would have needed on the days of the boycott. So sales would be down for a day or two, then shoot right back up after the boycott. Obviously our only option is to just give up on oil and race electric cars :14:

Re: Gas prices
 

Sounds good to me, although I would miss the smell of the methanol being burnt by the sprint cars :D

Re: Gas prices
 

I just filed my receipts from ISW. Here are the prices for 5 fills at the same station in Speedway.

7/14 3.259
7/16 3.259
7/18 3.479
7/20 3.399
7/22 3.329

Most station owners I have known simply tacked a few cents on to the price they paid. Assuming that's the case here, the market price is twanging up and down way too fast for it to be caused by Iranian ******** or forecasts for the winter, or anything like that.

Re: Gas prices
 

From the desk of an old "salt". We happen to be held hostage, by the "mega" companies that can control BOTH supply and demand, and no one seems to have the gonads to step them up to the plate, and answer any questions about their inner workings. Here in Indiana, we have 2 oil refineries, one located at the SW tip of the state, that refines their OWN oil, pumped outa the ground right close to all of us, that is CountryMark, as it is known today, and the other, located in the NW tip of the state, refines BP, or a foreign oil, and they seem to be, the one that has the most breakdowns, so we are now controlled by not only gas/oil, bit the other power companies, being electric and natural gas, and water companies are getting their share also. When someone can control both supply, and indirectly demand, we don't have much of a chance of "standing them in the corner"! Bob

Re: Gas prices
 

Here is the real answer.. CHANGE THE NEWS MEDIA,,CHANGE THE WORLD!!:11; Nothing effects every person in this great nation more then the price of gas.. How much talk have you heard about it in the mainstream news lately?

Re: Gas prices
 

Good article on gas prices and why they are what they are in the Wall St. Journal today on page A13.

Re: Gas prices
 

Supposedly three refineries located in Indiana and Illinois are having problems and that has led to the price increase.
