Friday, I paid $1.39 for off road red dyed diesel and the previous Wednesday I filled the burb and my 2 5 gallon gas cans with mid grade weasel pee for $1.30
I swear the Burb has Arabs running behind the tailpipe sucking up gasoline fumes. it's a pig. That 350 drinks gas Of course the 4 wheel drive don't help much and it won't run on regular and protests with mid grade. Likes premium but I don't, I'm cheap.
I'd drive my Focus (gets 41 with the air on,) but don't have any room inside for the big black dog who loves to go along with us. He's a great car theft deterrent, I can leave the keys in the ignition when I park. No sane person would even think of stealing it. Good thing because the big black dog has a nasty disposition, long white fangs and a short fuse.

Average is $1.29/ gal gas. Diesel is $2.09/ gal.
Seen gas as low as 1.07/ gal. Coworker had $1.00 off per gallon up to 10 gallons on his Kroger card. Filled his wife's car up for $0.75. Bet those grocery store discount fuel cards are gonna mysteriously stop working if to many people do that

The average person at the pump doesn't realize the trickle down economy involved, how many jobs are affected when oil production slows down.
I have a Grandson whose next 2 week trick will be his last for probably a long time. 124 of his company's drilling rigs will be stacked in West Texas. He hasn't made big money on the platform, but he was making a living.

Out by me 89 gas is 1.04, Diesel is back up to 2.09 at Marathon. Down in the big city of Columbus this weekend it varied between 1.40 and 1.60 gal for 89. Diesel was at least .50 - .60 more per gallon as well
I understand perfectly but it don't change the bargain price at the pump at least for the near future. It will in the long run however. Fuel prices have to increase and substantially for the industry to survive. This is all about the Russians and the Saudi's and their pissing match coupled with the low consumption due to the virus, nothing more.
Crude oil prices are going to rebound once the Saudis are confident that they have mortally wounded NA oil production. Oil is still a cartel and once economies recover the surging demand will force prices back up. And that's going to take months, not years.
