And it ain't gonna stop.
I have second hand information (for what that's worth) that today's $.30 increase will be followed by $.30 tomorrow and $.40 on Saturday.
I was told this yesterday and didn't believe it until I just drove past a station that yesterday was $3.14 and today is $3.49.

$3.89 here. I have no doubt, by the weekend, $4.15 -$4.25
Surprised CO is lower this time, since CO tries so hard to outdo CA, figured you'd be seeing the same $4.50+ ^^
Just lower your costs.

Today at wholesale in CO regular was $3.40 and diesel was $3.90 per gallon. Most stations try to get $.50/gallon markup.

They profit between 2 and 3 cents per gallon.

Per this the gross margin rate seems to stay around 10%.
So if wholesale diesel is $3.90 today, retail is going to be around $4.33. Ouch.
I fueled up truck and car 2-24.
Used $0.40 off King Soopers and paid $3.199 after discount for 20 gal of diesel to top off my 50 gal tank.
$0.40 off 12 gals of premium in my car, didn't put that one in the app but I think it was $3.499/gal after discount ?
July 2020 I paid after discount, $1.069 for diesel.
I am willing to pay more for gasoline if it meant choking off Russia from selling on the world market.

If only someone would have foreseen the danger of relying on foreign oil and put more effort in domestic oil production a few years ago......
Went to the Maverik station at 287 & 66 to stock up on non ethanol fuel but those pumps were off, so drove on to gas the truck in Lyons where the station was out of fuel. Aargh. I think we'll see more of this as the govt gradually chokes off supply to force consumers into ev's and dependence on an increasingly vulnerable electric grid.

Sure do.
Remember when oil was negative for just a few hours in 2020 and then 2020 was the 1st year the US was a net exporter since 1949?
EIA expects US to be a net importer in 2022. Bad time to go back to that.
I can only really remember back to the Carter administration but it seems gas prices are always higher when a democrat is in office and usually come down during a republican presidency.
Coincidence? Probably not.
$4.55/gal for premium on 136th at the Circle K west of I25 about half way to Zuni....
It was still $4.14/gal for premium at I25, but figure it is changing right about now.

Nope. Fuel prices hit their low point in late 1999 - 2000 when Clinton was still in office.
There were several times between 1996 - 2001 when I filled up for less than $1.00/gallon. I think the lowest I ever saw would have been ~ mid 1997 for around $0.79 in Charlotte, NC.

I have to second this recollection. As much as I don't like anything named "Clinton", I do recall paying a crisp $10 bill to fill up my entire truck's gas tank at the time... it was like $.70/gal in Cartersville, GA near I75 around that same time.

Truth. Gas was under $1/gal right before the 1996 election. It hadn't been that low since the Nixon administration. IIRC, Clinton had also released oil from the strategic reserve to keep prices down during the summer of 1996 when they were already at a price where he should have been buying oil to fill the reserve but of course very few people bothered to question his moves, they were just happy to drive cheap.
While I suspect a lot of Clinton's motivations had more to do with his re-election than anything else, keeping prices down deprived the Iranians of cash for their terrorist activities. It also hurt Russia's economy, which was part of the reason Yeltsin's popularity diminished his last couple of years in office. IIRC, Yeltsin left office due to his poor health but Putin used the economic situation to fuel his rise to power (somewhat similar to a certain former corporal quite a ways west of Moscow 70 years earlier). Obama's push for higher gas prices benefited Putin and the Iranians quite a bit (pallets of cash didn't hurt the Iranians much either).
I've been expecting a return to Obama-style gas prices for some time. We weathered them before, we'll weather them again. Higher oil and gas prices will spur R&D in our domestic energy industry. I just hope the Iranians don't profit from it as they did in the past (it doesn't seem like Putin will be profiting from it if he's cut off from SWIFT).
Putin will still be selling to China and there are likely others willing to do the same.
Putin will still sell to China, and the US will still buy from China…
I remember public "wars" between stations here, probably - 2001ish. It was under a dollar at one, but supposedly at cost at that point. That's a long time ago for fine details and the lowest I personally remember it locally.

I was getting paid $5.15/hr and had zero problems buying as much gas as I could use. I was bigtime into snowboarding at the time and was driving from WP to Breckenridge regularly.

I'm OLD. I can remember gas wars in the 70's. I actually filled Dad's Mustang up with premium as it was .22 / gallon and regular was only a few cents cheaper. I then went to Mickey D's and had a burger, fries, and a soda for less than a dollar. Dang...

So, oil is nearing the point it peaked right before 2008/09. We all know what happened then.
But this time the supply chain is already in complete tatters. And the world very well may be on the bring of war.
I'm not sure the world economy can absorb this.

It may be a blessing, but I was in the middle of an investment move (non taxable custodial event) and although I lost a ton of money in January before the move, 80% of my retirement account is still sitting in cash and hasn't been rolled back into the market yet. The 15% that is, is doing just OK. We may miss some of the uptick when it happens but I'm less likely to ride this thing to the bottom. I've been moderately aggressive since the mid 90's, weathered 2008, and did well enough through 2021, but it's time to pull back some for me.

Some traders are now saying oil will be $200+ per barrel by the end of March. I'm sure a lot of the reasoning behind that is due to a potential cut-off of Russian oil...which we should've already done.
Put gasoline in perspective.
When I was a teenager gas was about a buck gallon plus or minus.
I had a good job paying almost $7/hr but most of my friend working fast food were $3.50 - $4.00 an hour.
So it was about 3 gallons of gas per fast food hour.
Now the fast food places are paying $15/hr. So gas is still about 3 gallons per fast food pay hour.
It?s not absolute cost that matters. It is buying power.
I can't help to think that crime has been on the rise and is only going to get worse as the economy tightens all around us. New record high gas prices are only going to make it, crime, get even worse then it already is.

Anyone remember 2008? $5/gal low grade gas?
Now before you get ahead of yourself, cumulative inflation between 2008 and 2022 is ~30% (ouch!), so that $5 a gallon in 2008 would be ~$6.53 now. So we arent quite in as bad a place yet, but the rate of increase is much higher than back in '08.
I remember Ethanol was not affected by the high cost of gasoline in 08. I was pumping a half tank of gas and topping off with ethanol in my jeep to save money. Got alot of wide eyed looks at the time from people at the time. Not many people understand engine timing anymore.
When I notice the higher gas prices the most is when it cost over $25 to fill up the motorcycle. There was a time I could fill up my wife?s small SUV for less than that.

gas related--the oil I use for cars was $24.97 for 5 quarts on Amazon. I checked tonight and it's $42.80 with delivery "in 1 to 2 months."
I did a quick fill up today - mostly due to snow falling....the high test was over 4.00 - a few other spots near CostCo was about 50 cents more for the same type of gas.
From what I understand there are a few spots in California hitting above $7.00 - but they do tax a few things a bit higher than most.

You are not considering inflation. Official numbers suggest we had a cumulative inflation of ~30% since 2008. $4/gal in 2008 is $5.22/gal in today's dollar. We still have a bit to go to reach equivalent pain.

What I remember at that time was the jump was primarily in gasoline costs. Many businesses assessed a fuel charge on lots of services and products. I clearly remember having to explain the surcharge to clients. This time around, it seems that everything is skyrocketing, so less surcharge, more price increase.

I have this analogy on the subject:
You've got 3 guys smoking in a car with the windows all rolled up. One of the guys says "I'd better stop smoking to protect the environment in the car." Meanwhile, the other two keep smoking and charge the 3rd guy more than the price of cigarettes for their second-hand smoke. The cost to the car's environment is essentially the same yet the guy who quit smoking is paying the price of the others who still remain smoking.

Corporations making up for losses over COVID19. You got sick, we couldn't sell our oil, please pay more now! Sorry for the gouge, but our Wall Street bankers didn't get their bonus and windfall profit tax isn't on the menu. Poor and middle class get a big FU. I just wonder where all the money is going to? Maybe I'm just delusional...

Fuuuuuck.
Went back to E-85 in the meantime for now.
$2.89 ain?t t so bad for these times.
Yeah yeah, I know the cons.
Gonna start doing 1/2 tanks of the stuff. Not sure my fuel system can keep up with the demand on full e85
If you're not setup for 'Flex Fuel', I wouldn't go there. The repairs may not be worth it.

It'll run just fine, and I have a tuner to keep an eye on the fuel/air ratio to make sure I don't overrun the injectors.
On Thursday, I topped my tank and filled several portable gas containers with ethanol free gas @ $4.29.9. I have a couple 300 gal. fuel tanks, one full of diesel. Thinking of refilling the 300 gal. gas tank too. Now that we're in a hot war with Russia it's past time to prepare with the basics of food, water, shelter, fuel and ammo. In past wars tires were also in short supply. I bought tires and ammo yesterday, too.
Going to top off my wife?s vehicle in a bit. A few years ago this was roughly $25. I?ll let you know what it costs this morning when I?m done filling it up.
Relax. Google US fuel exports. We export lots of refined fuel now. There is plenty of it and it goes to the highest bidder. The government is cutting a deal to import crude from Venezuela. Expect a deal with Iran next.
Your inflation adjusted costs won't be bad.

$56 and some change. In the grand scheme of things I suppose its way cheaper than filling up my truck since she has half the tank capacity.

Filled up the wife's truck from empty @ $3.79, was over $90. Haven't paid that much since about 2008(and that was diesel fuel)

Hahaha. I love it when people say "inflation adjusted costs" aren't bad when inflation is sky high.
Raise of hands. Who's income is also inflating at the same rate?????
Bueller?
Didn't think so. So comparing "inflation adjusted costs" is meaningless when income doesn't keep up.. Our money buys less and that's a problem.
Not only does our money buy less, but most of us are losing tons of it from the financial markets tanking the last few months too… and I have a steep tax liability to pay this year. FML
$3.89 at King Soopers for regular after my .10 cents a gallon discount lol. And my Titan is a gas hog, good thing I only drive it on weekends or when not working.
Saw diesel at $5.19 yesterday. Ouch.
The bright spot I saw filling up.
91 was only 30 cents a gallon more than 85.
Typically it’s about 70 to 80 cents more.
My last fill up with 91 is was about the same as it has been for 6 months.
About ran out of gas as I was leaving Boulder headed south. Afraid the gas station was out of gas cause the sign was turned off. Nope just too embarrassed to advertise their price. 5.25 a gallon. Bought 2 gallons and left.

If you are referring to the Eldorado Springs / Marshall Road / Hwy 93 intersection gas station, they are always at least $1 higher than everyplace else in Boulder. I only use them when absolutely necessary to make it to Golden (1 or 2 gallons).

$4.49 here. Jumped $0.10 since tues. Up side is the government / bidens about to drop $300 per household checks to cover our pain. Too bad the one thing he's not writing is........... a resignation letter.
News article the other day about exporting diesel from the USA to Europe.
The USA is also exporting gasoline.
A depreciated dollar makes our fuel inexpensive on the world market.

Diesel is on a MAJOR shortage throughout the world. I hope we don't export too much of it...or we're going to have trouble at home.

I was in the D.C. area of Virginia for the last 2 weeks and got back Monday. Diesel was selling for $3.99/gallon the day I left and over the course of last week I watched all fuel prices drop a bit. After returning to the Springs, on Wednesday I had to fuel my F250 - @ $4.79/gallon. I'm flabbergasted. In what obscene world is diesel $0.80/gallon cheaper in D.C. than in CO?

Are we having fuel shortages along with the rising prices?
I?ve gotten gas four times this week and every station I went to had bags on most of the pump handles.

You'd think voters would be a bit more wise after suffering 10% index inflation just in the last year. At the average household income, that means every US household, on average, is paying around $6,700 more per year for the same goods and services. EVERY YEAR.
You'd think some of these idiots would be able to add up some ones and twos and realize stimulus already has cost them exponentially more than the deposited check, and that expense lasts forever now.
But, most voters are true hedonistic idiots and will flash a few devalued hunnard dollar bills if the first salesman that offers to buy their vote.
We all know these things, I'm just ranting like I'm on a rocking chair bitching about teenagers on the grass.

Get off my lawn! Yes, we could all write letters to the editor and good luck if the editorial board deigned to publish any contrary thoughts, but no matter because nobody even reads newspapers anymore. Most Americans get their news from 12 minutes of primetime TV propaganda. All that free stimulus money was so fun to spend. Inflation, what's that? Don't Bogart that joint, hand me the doobie. Yeah Joe! Yeah kamala!

Government spending doesn't increase the debt or increase inflation. Government spending reduces the national debt. Pelosi has said it, Biden has said it and circle-back has said it.
They think Americans are dumb. And they're partially right.

Been 4.79 for a while in COS. Think I may switch to driving the gas truck for a while. Which is about 90 cents higher than regular at most stations.
