I don’t understand. If oil is so cheap, why is 87 octane gas still $3.49 in Reno
One, because it is Reno
Two, if you are paying $3.49, you need to look around a bit.
$3.15 at Skyline Mart, 2995 Skyline Blvd & Cashill Blvd

Tuesday’s AAA Nevada monthly price survey confirmed the trend: The average for a gallon of unleaded gas in Reno has jumped 46 cents from mid-April to $3.37.
The trends are similar elsewhere: Sparks, up 45 cents to $3.35; Carson City up 46 cents to $3.12. The statewide average rose 44 cents to $3.22. Even the U.S. average was up, rising 27 cents to $2.66 per gallon.
In a news release, AAA officials said regional refinery issues are pushing prices higher in Western states with the approach of the Memorial Day holiday, traditionally the kickoff to the summer driving season.
But while Reno’s average has broken well beyond the $3-per-gallon mark after many months in the two-bucks-and-change range, prices are still well below year-ago levels
Because the people in Nevada love high taxes and high prices...hence their support for liberal democrats ala Harry Reid. Stop complaining , it’s for the better good of the collective!!!
