Naturally, this price decrease is somehow related to Covid. “ Gas prices in Missouri are on the decline, and United States gas prices are also taking a dip as pandemic-era inflation starts to level out.

During the time frame of Oct. 20 to 21, the lowest prices per gallon for regular unleaded gas were recorded since 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced a majority of people indoors.”

One gas station near me is $2.62(87), $2.72(89), $2.82(91).

A few weeks ago, 87 octane was $2.89 and 91 octane well over $3.

I’ve been getting 91 octane for a couple weeks.

I think they meant bidenmic-era inflation. I filled up at a Phillips 66 station in St. Charles, MO, at 2.599

Not in California. They are twice that price.

The reason for high prices

[j.havenfarm]

Damn it. That’s it. Just under double that here in northern CA the foothills of the Sierra. I’m driving to Austin to fill up this weekend to gas up at those prices. Can I stay at your house? I don’t think I can drive there and back in one day.

Still over $3 in most of New York....due to very high gas taxes. But New York is a leader, in high taxes. And instead of using gas taxes to repair dilapidated roads and bridges, they use it for vote buying and welfare. They wonder why people are leaving NY like a cattle drive.

Crude prices have held a solid floor of $56-58 for 5 years since the crazy Covid fluctuations. Don’t expect any lower than this. Crude bounced above $60 yesterday after the 46th test of support.

A few weeks ago, 87 octane was $2.89 and 91 octane well over $3.

I live next door in Central Illinois. Regular gas has dropped below $3 for regular gas depending upon where one lives. There is still a wide spread 87 between 91 and 93 octane prices.

Let’s get back to $1.77 a gallon the way it was in the days preceding the stolen 2020 election.
