I think I paid $2.77 and 9/10 per gallon here in the Midwest a couple nights ago for regular gas ⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽
But I see this place is a tourist trap. Yikes
$3.29 north of indy
Agree. Post #4 (h/t Vendome) has all the factors allowing the gas station operator to exploit his customer’s vulnerabilities.
My fill up yesterday at COSTCO here in northern VA was at $2.97/gallon for regular unleaded. That’s up about $0.30/gallon. Since we are just finishing the summer driving season, the higher price might due to a temporarily tight supply as they switch between the seasonal formulas at the refineries.
Time will tell.
My wife and I were in Branson, MO this past week and gas was around $2.84 to $2.89. Incidentally, first time there and I think if push comes to shove that might make a great place for the sane people to wall off and hold down the fort (tongue in cheek). What a breath of fresh air. I’ve never been anywhere where we were surrounded by so many like-minded, Christian conservatives. I live in Colorado, so it was like several days of bliss compared to the liberal nuttery that has completely taken over here.
