While Out And About: Noticing Gas Prices

87 octane @ $2.50/gal = Ouch! 40 cents more than the last time I looked.

That cheap?

If it were 10 degrees over freezing (rather than 10 below) I'd just have ridden to work today

The price is ouchy enough for here, but the biggest part of the effect was that forty cent jump since the last time I'd looked.

Yeah, I know this isn't the most expensive part of the country (heck, it's not even the most expensive part of the state). I still say, "ouch".

It's because there's no election.
I charted the gas prices then, and told The Hubby (tm) that
they would get lower towards the election. He said they
couldn't possibly be that stupidly blatant, people would
notice. I told him to mark my words. And prices went up the
day after the election. He apologized, being the sweetie
that he is, & the world got just that much more cynical.

That's not the only phenomenon having an effect here, but yeah, I remember the October/November thing. I don't recall an election two weeks ago when the price was so much lower than today -- I suspect there was some factor I don't know about depressing prices in February (for just long enough for me to get used to the lower level so that their rebound to the two-and-a-half-buck range feels more like an onerous increase than the end of a brief dip).

It's currently around $2.29 to $2.49 in this part of Tennessee. Which reminds me, I need to get my van checked out, it's mileage has dropped a bit...

they've been creeping up over the past couple of weeks. When I last filled up over a week ago it was like $2.20.

*nod* Not having driven much since my car got hit, and noticing two week's worth of price delta all at once makes it feel that much more sudden ... but I don't know that +$0.20/week is "creeping".

Yup, same down here in Woodbridge, Manassas, Chantilly, and DC. (Higher in the last two, naturally.)

(By which I mean "suddenly more expensive", not "$2.50".)

It's 2.47 for regular gas here in Seattle, but that's cheap compared to last year when it was 3.30$ and higher.

Luckily I use diesel, which is a tad more expensive, but I get 42 miles to the gallon in the city which means a single tank lasts nearly a month. :)

If I wasn't worried about trashing my engine, I'd try biodiesel...
