We have about the same price here in Southern California. It's around 2.31 for reg / $2.43 mid / $2.51 prem

 

Most interesting thing about the gas prices is that you can almost predict price changes on a daily basis. For example, a couple of days ago wholesale gasoline futures were 1.48/gal, yesterday they were about 1.59/gal. Sure enough, the Gulf station that was 1.97/gal for reg is now 2.09/gal today.

Rule of thumb, check wholesale gasoline and add your local/fed tax to that and you get an idea how much the station is making per gallon....

 

yup, over the weekend prices went up .15 in one shot. hang on to your hats, here we go again.

 

Still going down in Phoenix area:

Last Monday $2.21
Today $2.12

 

Going up in Pittsburgh. Last Thursday, $2.039. Today, four days later, $2.199. The prices at the pump are following the futures pretty well. Last week gasoline futures troughed at $1.43/gallon. This morning they were up to $1.60/gal.

 

I paid $2.41 yesterday. Pretty low for around here.

 

Prices here in Canton area were below $2 last week, now they have shot up to $2.12 for reg.

With wholesale gasoline at $1.58 this morning plus $0.44 combined tax, that makes $2.02/gal, leaves 0.10 margin. So the station is probably not making much per gallon if you factor in for shipping. Might be making a nickel.
