A Sudden Gas Price Hike?
Self | jimjohn

Posted on 04/11/2024 6:33:05 PM PDT by jimjohn

Reporting from Western New York: gas price at my local gas station jumped $0.13 in the last 24 hours. I've never seen a hike that fast. Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

I already see gold prices shooting up. Is this gas price? Starting to catch up to it now?

Is the Strategic Oil Reserve near empty? I’ve thought Biden has probably been releasing oil from the reserve to keep prices artificially low.

It happens and when it happens it happens.

Price jumps here in York PA last weekend.

10 to 20 cents a gallon range.

Yes but how much of a bump?
And I’ve seen those nosebleed prices in the Sierra nevadas before. If this price jump holds followed by another it tells me something’s going on overseas and we don’t know about yet

... jumped $0.13 in the last 24 hours.


That’s like Gibraltar compared to SW Michigan.

Here it’ll jump 30-40 cents at every station in four counties within a couple of hours, then gradually drift back down over the next couple of weeks, then repeat.

That doesn’t seem to bad to me. Up where I live, prices can go up and down 3 cents/litre all the time.

It was $3.79 for regular for a long time here in northwest Indiana, then up to $3.89 last week then $3.99 yesterday. I haven’t been out today to see if it has gone up more.

I just filled up two days ago here in central New York State. I didn’t even look at the price. I know that the amount usually goes up as the weekend approaches, but never bothered to keep track. I’m fortunate that I’m retired, and don’t have to drive to a job every day. My niece and her husband have two family vans. Both drive in from Ontario, NY to Rochester every day, and then back again. Plus they’re regularly heading out of State for soccer tournaments for one of their twin girls. They are heading to North Carolina next Tuesday for 6 days. I’m sure their gas costs are exorbitant.

Prices are up something like 20% since January-

the oil traders have been expecting wider escalation in the ME or further destruction of Russian production or something else for a few months now.
