What I can't understand is why it is so much more here than in the midwest? It doesn't have to travel as far to get here-what's up with that?????
Well I just got back from a w/e soccer tournament and I paid the same price for a gallon of gas that I paid for a pound of lobstah-$3.14. I wonder if I can come up with some alternative fuel source made from lobstah?

Gas at 2.79
Oil below 70.00 a barrel.
Gas should be at what, 1.50?

Re: Gas
Nope, not in Duluth. Those stations are amazing, how they all keep their prices within two or three cents of each other. They'd probably like to all be the same but those mavericks at M&H keep selling at a couple cents cheaper.ExecutionTrumpsStrategy wrote:Oil below $70 a barrel today....bet on gas at $1.99 at some stations by election time.....probably not in Roseau or Duluth though!

Re: Gas
Not that difficult, back in my gas station days that was part of the job description. Had to check at least once a day if not two or three times.east hockey wrote:Nope, not in Duluth.

It is not collusion if you are doing it on your own.

It turns out, he's the owner, and it was a glitch on the pricing on the pump. Looks like the program moved the decimal one digit to the left. And didn't something click in his head after an hour of people coming in to pay for gas and nobody was putting more than $10 in their tank?!OGEE OGELTHORPE wrote:Did you see the story about gas in Wisconsin for .34 a gallon today.Can't Never Tried wrote:It is....... they just saw you coming and figured it's just OGEE he won't do the math..........OGEE OGELTHORPE wrote:Gas at 2.79

Then again, it's Wisconsin. Oops, sorry Mitch.

In two weeks, the price in Duluth has dropped 64 cents; this morning's average price was $2.7999. Sams' Club (aka the Evil Empire) is cheaper as is one Superamerica out in Morgan Park.
The rate of price decline has dropped. Assuming OPEC drops their production in their upcoming meeting, the prices should stabilize or go back up slightly, although it's clear that their production levels have less impact on the pump price than other factors.

At 494 & Carlson Pkwy in Plymouth, it was $2.32 this morning. On my way to work in Edina, it was $2.65 at Hwy 100 & 77th St.tomASS wrote:$2.28 at a Holiday Gas Station in Nordeast Mpls today
$2.49 at a Holiday Gas Station in Chaska today.
with prices going down, is it wrong to bitch about a nearly 20 cent difference at the same corporate station 29 miles apart?
33 Cent difference over about 13 miles.
Of course it is Edina, so what do you expect?
