Weird. Prices here have been going down this month. It's the only thing that's not more expensive.

Can we vamoose the P&N-isms?

IIRC the national average is up a bit over the past weeks.
However, northern California is seeing significant price pressure because refineries are down. With fewer than a dozen refineries statewide, that isn't uncommon but an explosion at a Martinez, CA facility will cause problems for weeks.

$4.59 for 87 just SE of Fresno. Stupid refinery fires.

2.85 cash in NNJ.

Checking oilprice... WTI was up to about $78 at the beginning of the year but is down to $72. But it's been in the $70-80 range for some time.

Kroger rewards points keeps my fuel cost down to around $1.60 a gallon. Record low was $1.04 but that was almost a year ago. I've never paid more than $2 a gallon at Krogers.

But you pay more for food than anywhere else.

That appears to be the case. But since Kroger's is a mile away and everything else is 15 miles away they're going to get my business anyway.

This just in! K1052 has been syphoning gas from other people's car for at least a year!

Only the ones with certain bumper stickers.

I have absolutely nothing a mile away. Literally everything is at least 20 miles.

And I'm not just talking grocery stores. DG is as close as it gets to that.

I landed in a good place by accident. We were about to buy a place 10 or 12 miles from here, and ran across this place the night before we made the commitment on the other one. We liked it, and bought it based on pictures. It ended up being a great location. Doctor, dentist, vet, hardware store, city hall, county seat, and grocery store all within two miles.

Just filled up at C$1.406 per litre for regular.

:shudder: IMO, DG is a waste of real estate. We have an IGA here in town. Prices are consistently 20-40% higher than at the Safeway that's about 25 miles away. We also have a "liquidation" store here that sells "almost fresh" groceries. I think most of their produce is seconds...the stuff that even Walmart wouldn't buy...but their apples are decent enough...and cheap as chips. Their dairy prices are about 20% cheaper than the IGA...and it's fresh, no outdated crap. (they don't sell out of date products, but maybe stuff that's getting close...except for their dairy stuff. That's always fresh.

 

[Chaotic42]

Yeah, it always makes my heart drop when I see those dollar stores in poor rural areas. They're terrible values. The place I grew up couldn't support a full grocery, so now they just have a gas station and DG.

I was driving down a desolate country road between two nowheres and spotted that big yellow and black sign.

2.66 for regular cheapo

Minus some discounts and bonuses, 20 gallons should end up costing me under 40 bucks.

Where even Walmart won't go: how Dollar General took over rural America

As the chain opens stores at the rate of three a day across the US, often in the heart of ‘food deserts’, some see Dollar General as an admission that a town is failing

I have been making many trips between Los Angeles and Phoenix. I need premium for my car. Gas cost is CA is $4.89. Gas cost is AZ is $3.69. I make sure to fill up at Quartzite both ways on my trip.

 

[Chaotic42]

I hear Quartzite really rocks
