Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
If I remember, a lot of Illinois and Cook gas taxes are per gallon not % based so we probably have a hard floor no matter how low oil/gasoline go.

Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
Saw one article on the internet that puts it at $0.96 per gallon, but it was a nearly year-old article and it's probably higher now.LawBeefaroni wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 11:38 am If I remember, a lot of Illinois and Cook gas taxes are per gallon not % based so we probably have a hard floor no matter how low oil/gasoline go.

$1.94 in Central Oregon yesterday.
SO the car is full, and now what? it will be quite a while before I need gas again I think.

Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
Had to run out to pick up prescriptions today and while I didn't need gas, I took note of the prices at our typical gas station. $2.00/gal for regular; $2.80/gal for premium.
That's my purse! I don't know you!

Love that the $0.80 differential remains from the $5 days.

Good news! Gas prices are going back up! At least locally. By about 14 cents a gallon.

I hope the people in you area get paid enough to make up for the higher prices there. It's all I can do to afford Arkansas!

Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
There was a reason I used to bike to work a lot in years past. Unfortunately, it's not practical now. While 23 miles each way is just a little further than previous commutes, the route weaves in and out of the Fox River valley and the hilly terrain, while good for cardio, would have me exhausted by the time I got to work.

I haven't gassed up either of our cars since March. I still have half a tank and Wife's is still full.

I haven't gotten gas in about a month and a half. But online prices show it at $1.59. So .44 cent higher.

Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
I haven't gassed up in 6 weeks. I am putting maybe 3-5 miles on my truck each week. At this rate I won't buy gas again until around July 4th.

$1.89, so up about 30 cents. We never got the crazy cheap gas everyone was talking about.

Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
It was $1.98 when I went out on Monday. That is still cheap but nothing like the the $1.29 it was the time I left the house before. I leave the house again on Monday coming up. I suspect gas won't have normalized by then but it will go up to at least twofiddy which will approach pre-March trends of bouncing around under $3.

Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
Saw gas at Walmart today for either $1.92 or $1.97. Seems weird as gas was going up around here from $2.15 to $2.45 last time I got any a month ago. Now its a lot cheaper.
EDIT: Ok looked at the online fuel finder...I guess Walmart's was actually a little high and most are $1.71. One place is $1.55.

Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
yeah, back over $3/gallon most places here. However, after needing about a tank a week (30 miles each way commute), I've only bought 1 tank of gas since the Shelter-In-Place started mid-march. Sucks that the price war/supply dump coincided, but I'm ok with saving hundreds of dollars a month...

Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
One of my cars hasn't left the garage since I was WFR'd a month ago. Unfortunately, while it's ostensibly her car, my wife doesn't like driving it and prefers the Rogue instead (which gets much shittier mileage). We're still throwing a tank a week into it.

Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
I think I paid something like $2.35 for premium this week, but as I only fill my 11-gallon tank every 6-8 weeks, it doesn't matter.

Out tax alone is $0.70 per gallon. If we ever got to $1.60 gas that would mean almost 50% in taxes.

Re: Man, gas is getting cheap!
Just saw it fell to $1.67 here when I filled up yesterday. Alabama's gas tax is currently 24 cents. It goes up 2 cents next year and then another 2 then next to top out at 28 cents.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
