$3.15 today at Costco in NNJ. Most surrounding gas stations were from 3.49 to 3.59. During COVID usually Costco was 5 to 20 cents less, not 35 to 45 cents

Most of the stations selling diesel more than a block away from Costco here are charging $0.80-1.20 more per gallon :eek:
It is right off I-5, but damn.

Totally going in the wrong direction this past week.
Brand name stations Shell and Union 76 went up .40 & .30 respectively to 5.99 & 5.79/gal.
Cheap stations like Arco went up .20/gal to 4.99 and above.
Just bought gas 10 days ago at the ARCO for 4.99 which had gone up from 4.73 a couple weeks prior.
It's now 5.29
Costco, which generally has the cheapest prices around here is also at 5.29. Up from 4.54 a few weeks back.
The Shell station? Up to 6.19

Here's some reasons why:

"Still, it is commonly accepted that September has been a bonanza month for California’s oil refiners. “If you’re a (refiner) on the Gulf Coast, your gross profit on gasoline is about $6.60 (per barrel of oil). If you’re in Los Angeles it’s about $101,” said Kloza. “The difference is incredible.” "

Just posted 24 hours ago about yesterday's prices.
Two stations I drive by just went up .50-.60/gal in one day.
Union 76 from 5.69 to 6.29 today
Shell from 6.19 to 6.69 today.

Apparently there's a some "unplanned' outages at the refineries.
Boy, that's a new excuse. :rolleyes:

"In the Bay Area and Northern California, drivers are paying some of the highest prices for gas in the state, the AAA data shows.
“The increase this time is due to a scarcity of refined gasoline,” explained Borenstein, as maintenance or unplanned outages at local refineries reduced their output.


I guess the 101.00 margin for a barrel of oil made into gas isn't enough for them.

Neighbor told me he drove by a station in the morning a couple of days and the sign was 3.01. Later that after noon the same station was 3.16.

I won't be going to town until next week and I won't need gas then.

In FL our state taxes on gasoline have been eliminated for the month of October, so our prices everywhere went down this morning by 25.3 cents per gallon. Sam's Club and Costco in Tallahassee went from $3.29 yesterday to $3.03 today. Unfortunately we filled up last weekend when we thought the hurricane was coming our way. Hopefully it will be of benefit to some of the hurricane victims.

Still showing 1.63/litre on Gasbuddy and I didn't notice when driving by the station, but a coworker was telling me it went up to 1.74 so maybe it has not updated yet. Quite the jump if that's the case.

$2.16/l($8.48ish/US Gallon) last I heard the highest prices in North America are in the region. Glad I don't have a vehicle to feed.
