I am delivering a load of gas to the station around the corner from my house as I type this. The price is 3.69 right now but will be 3.75 when I leave. Sucks.

The market is dropping today. I will run out of gasoline before 6pm tonight, but I will save myself .09 cents per gallon if I buy it after 6pm.
When the cost of gasoline and diesel increase, the operator of the store must also increase their margins to cover their expenses. Several years ago 75% of the business was cash. With cash you have no transaction fees so you can operate on a smaller margin. Currently the 90% of the gasoline is on a debit/credit card, those fees are 2.75%-4% of the total of the transaction. Do the math currently, I am posting $3.799 per gallon the average transaction fee is .11 cents for every gallon I sell. The fuel in the ground costs me $3.678823 per gallon including freight. There is not much room to cover expenses. Yes I have inside sales, but they get squeezed too.

I hate it when y'all do that. I understand it, but the drivers end up backed up at the terminals. Sometimes for hours.
I cut my season short due to high fuel prices this year. I spent way more on the trips that I did take so it made me cut a trip out. Plus on the trips that I did take, I didn't spend near as much as I would have in the past. I tent camped not get a motel room, I ate almost exclusively out of my cooler instead of getting meals at the local diner and such. I sure hope they can get this back under control soon.
4.07 here in NW Wisconsin. It is really starting to hurt.
The Department of Energy releases the national average for diesel and gasoline every Monday. This past Monday the national average for gasoline was $3.963, up $1.065 from the same week last year. That's a 36.7% increase in the cost of fuel, for a 20gal fill up it's an extra $21.30!! That adds up quick!
The website to check the average is http://www.eia.gov/oog/info/gdu/gasdiesel.asp
It's updated every Monday between 1 to 3 PM EST
I was paying $4 a gallon to drive around my uncles to hunt, who has a gas lease on his property..
thought about getting it out of the ground my dang self
I've got to go to Michigan next month for my daughters Sweet 16 party. We figured it would cost roughly $500 - $600 round trip to drive my truck up there. I'm coming out cheaper flying to Chicago, renting a car and then driving back. Go figure.
gasoline down .15 and diesel down .18 right now on the market
Oh I have had the same midset, Surely are Government would"nt Lie to us
Oil is falling hard today...

Don't expect any big drops at the pump, though. It's time for retailers to make their money.
Rat Bastards. costing me $400.00 a month just to drive to work. :fud:
Market closed gas down .24 per gallon, diesel fuel .26 per gallon. It will take a couple of days to trickle down through the pumps. There is a lot of high dollar inventory still in the ground.
It cost us almost 500 $ in fuel to drive to and from north Kansas. The average price per gallon for regular is 3.82 over here as of this morning. I sure hope something happens before deer season ! This is getting pretty bad.
