I see no difference at all, with my eyes. It's $3.07, plus or minus a couple of cents, in all three states. Though of course I only saw the gas stations I actually passed, which were heavily weighted toward those near major interstates.
But it's weird, because I've taken the same route for years now, and have come to expect gas to be 15 to 20 cents cheaper a gallon in OH. And it's not, at least in Youngstown area, which is where I am at the moment. The price is the same as in NY.
$3.33 and has been for weeks in OR, but we are "adequately" supplied.
WT's bidding war needs updating to add one side of the US from the other. Funny for an extra 10% we get all we want. Go figure.
Stay on vacation! You need the time off.
Leanan, you're great, I really appreciate your work. But the seven day a week gig makes anyone burn out. I really think you should split the drumbeat job, and stay off the website for a couple of weeks to let your head clear.
I am on vacation.
But I ain't staying off the web site. No way, no how.
Ah...the addiction that is TOD. Hard to break this habit.
I've also noticed that all stations in KC metro were at $3.29 for 4 days or so and then this morning..boom...they all went down to $3.25 in lock step. It is odd because when the prices change, it usually takes a day or so for all the stations to get close to each other.
