Don’t worry. That gas will be marked down at Nordstrom Rack by next spring.
Driving back this weekend from VA in the Delmarva Peninsula, I filled my tank with $3.50/9 gas, and there was a lot of $3.55/9 being sold by the majors. I think they are afraid that if Trump gets in again the price of gas will go so low that barrels of oil might again drop below cost of production. A friend pointed out that briefly, there was such a glut of oil that the price went below ZERO. Oil companies were having to pay people $30 a barrel to get rid of it. So I think their plan is to keep the price high enough to have some profit, and not elect someone who will drive the price ruinously low from THEIR perspective.
