Crazy gas prices

What really sucks is these great gas prices and you can not go anywhere. What a great time to go on a long road trip! I guess I have a friend that bought a camper and is traveling from FL to CA and back. $1 a gallon gas is working well for her.


You can go any place you want, as long as you don't leave your car. Maybe to get gas.

Why can’t you go anywhere?

You can go to Minnesota and play golf...oh, wait...
 
I don't believe you have to be a member to get gas at Sam's Club, do you? You just don't get the additional $.05 savings or whatever it is.

Yes you have to be a member. Probably a spike in memberships right now with the ridiculous price difference.

Finally saw a true gas drop in crazy high CA. Saw $2.19. Before the worldwide drop the chapest I'd see might be $3.24.

Again...not that I'm using any gas.
 
$1.99 at my closest gas station here in Denver, normally has been $2.45-ish?

Filled up at Costco the other day for $1.25 a gallon.
 
Well I guess we can enjoy this month, understand our president has intervened with the Saudis, probably leveraging Yemeni help for Saudi production cuts. Can someone say government intervention, market manipulation and price fixing in one breath. Motivation seemed to be helping USA oil industry. Maybe he could have used his leverage to just ask exxonmobile or conocophilips to buy "aMerican", like we are urged by our local Chambers, of Commerce

Of course this would be raising the costs of production, lowering profit margins, and lowering stock prices...manipulating the holy grail of American Capitalism, the dow jones industrial average. Wait, onlly those socialist and commie countries in Europe do that, we cant have that in Merica. Where are the free market advocates, and pitchforks, rebel flags, and live free or die flags. We cant stand for this type of government interference, taking ice cream from our kids/grandkids because we have to pay government manipulated prices for gas!!

We filled up at Sam's yesterday for $1.00 in Ankeny, I think fleet was matching it at the time. At that price just go 99c for a few hours to drive people nuts.

Many Sam's Club locations this is correct, you don't have to be a member but you don't get the .05 discount (Cedar Rapids is this way). Some Sam's locations are completely member only, I think Ames is this way.
 
We in Phoenix aren't seeing super low prices, though it has finally come down. Last week I paid $2.69 for premium at Costco, checking right now it looks like local to me that $2.19 is the best price you'll find from a non-membership station. Sams and Costco are $1.89 for regular.
 
I’ve seen anywhere from $1.39-$1.69 in like a 3 mile radius in CBus. So Costco would probably be in the $1.20 range.
