NEW 2022 gas prices

Oil 57.13 barrel @ 9:42 EST. Local Exxon still 3:14 gallon for gas. Bet high 2.70's 4 miles a way.

Edit: Nope, 2.80 appears to be lowest. Most mid 2.80 to 3 bucks.
 
Not sure why I'm waiting for price to drop. Rarely use more than a tank a month. Have 220ish miles on current tank and low fuel light just came on. think about 3 gallons left?
 
Knightdale BP on adjoining lot of Waffle House, $3.05. Less than 3 miles further on same road toward Raleigh (New Bern Ave) $2.76. Still 3.14 half mile away from home at Exxon.

Up here in panhandle, it has went back up a little. Was getting diesel at 3.05, now back to 3.30. Regular at 2.80 a gallon. I'm keeping my eyes on the straight of Hormuz, lots of oil comes down thru there, especially with what's going on over there now.
 
Don't understand how can be 50 cents gallon cheaper 5 miles away.
I don't blame a station for selling at a price the traffic is apparently willing to bear. What I don't understand is who wouldn't drive 5 miles to save 50 cents a gallon? Sure, I wouldn't drive for six or eight cents, but 16%? $8 savings on a 16-gallon tank? Even the worst milage Hummer will only cost $2.00, and it has a tank a lot bigger than 16 gallons.

I put this solely on the consumers.

I agree 100% on the distance. I don't go out of my way to get gas. Stop at cheap station when in that area. If get into the low fuel light deal I'll buy 5 bucks down the street where $2.99. Rarely use more than tank a month unless I drive to Goochland or somewhere like that.
