Wow, that’s a good price for Mobile. The mobile near me is 4.49/g - so I’ll start going to Speedway @ 4.19/g even though it’s 4 miles out of my way it’s worth it.$4.17 for regular unleaded @ Mobil yesterday down 42 cents since the last time I gassed up.

I gassed Saturday at the Safeway store. $4.42/gallon...used $1.00 in gas points for a net price of $3.42. Went by today, down to $4.37. That's down about 60 cents in just a couple of weeks.
Wow, that's wild.There's a reason for that...
Gasoline demand in the US has fallen below Summer 2020 levels. Yikes.
Yea that’s crazy, greedy Americans not wanting to funnel money to the oil companies, why do they hate America so much?!Wow, that's wild.
I suppose between overall inflation on everything else and heat, that could cover a big chunk of it. I'm still surprised to see lower than 2020 levels though.That article doesn't speculate why. I wonder if the ridiculous heat over such large swath of the U.S. is keeping people indoors.
I've seen prices broadly about 3.70 a gallon, give or take.

I still haven't filled up my sedan since January.
I just adopted that strategy. Bought a quart of fuel stabilizer but haven't added yet because I haven't put new gas in yet. I did add some Chevron Pro-Gard Progard Fuel Injector Cleaner with Techron, and when the tank gets almost empty I'm going to fill it 1/3 full and add appropriate amount of stabilizer. That way it won't get so old before replenishing.I hope you add a bit of gas stabilizer to the tank...
Lot of people bought big, heavy trucks, SUV's or muscle-cars with gas-sucking V-8's that cost insane amounts to fill up.
I was next to a guy who was filling up his late-model GM diesel MID-SIZED SUV yesterday (from about 1/4 tank) and his "quick fill-up" was $116!
Meanwhile I threw $20 in my Honda and it gave me a little over a 3/4 full tank filled from just before the reserve-light coming on which should last me over a week.
This sounds like good news except $20 was a full-tank+ from empty not all that long ago.
Most likely this is it. People trying to save money and reduce driving because of the inflation.
Wanted to go electric, but the compromise was a continued symbol of American decadence and disdain for the climate? If he didn't want electric, the compromise should at least have been a hybrid instead of a vehicle from a manufacturer with some of the worst across the board fuel economy.I couldn't help but shake my head when I found out my daughter and her husband just leased a new Jeep. She had wanted to go electric, but he didn't. They do still have another gas-powered car, too, so it's not like they didn't have a simple option for long trips if they didn't want to worry about charging.

There are trade-offs here:Add the fuel-stabilizer BEFORE you pump the gasoline so it mixes up more effectively.
Also I would suggest that you fill the tank to the very top after doing the above to minimize any oxidation.
At the rate you are using gas, if you only keep it 1/3rd full, the gas doesn't get as old before used and replenished with fresh gas. The trade off is you have to put gas in 3X+ as often but that's better for the fuel system than having varnish buildup. I just wouldn't run it near empty on hot days since being submerged in fuel does help keep the fuel pump cooler running.
