I guess that depends on the area. In my area most Shell stations are in line with most other major brands in the area. Like I said before I think a lot of that depends on the distributor and certain stations who jack up their prices, which in my area is mostly Exxon.
In Thomasville, NC that's where they are the lowest.
I usually pass cheaper places just because I was going a certain place anyway. I will be going to Thomasville next week but the savings probably wouldn't make up for how much they've gone up since I decided I'd better fill up.
I have points I can use at BP but it's so hard to find a BP that's actually lower than everyone else. I have succeeded in doing that the past several months. I say months because I can only use points once each month. And less than 100 points is the same as zero though you do get 3 cents off per gallon. Plus once you get 100 (10 cents of per gallon), you don't get any more points until you get to 200 (20 cents off), and so on.
In the Knoxville TN area Weigel (which is local/regional) is going up first. The former Pilot stations are now Casey's, and some of their stations had prices quite a bit lower than everyone else, I suppose to try to draw people in.
I just saw a letter to the editor that calls this shell shock. no reference to the gas station chain.
That's where the money is at the gas station level.
One of my pet peeves in convenience stores is to get stuck behind somebody taking forever buying lottery tickets or cigarettes since they're behind the checkout counter.
Usually when they go up dramatically they later decide they overreacted.
A grateful nation thanks you!
They're called news/talk mostly because of the newscasts at the top and bottom of the hour, with the rest of the programs being generally opinion talk. There's also often a real news program such as America in the Morning or This Morning-America's First News.
And thanks for reminding me. There is good news today. Unless you invested in oil.
Station closest to me was down to $4.15 today after spiking at $4.33 last week.Some people think oil will go back up but so far, here's the good short-term news.
Wall Street stocks rally, oil prices fall ahead of Fed meeting
The three main Wall Street stock indexes rallied on Tuesday, a day before an expected interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve, while oil prices dropped 7% on hopes of an end to the conflict in Ukraine.www.reuters.com
Where I live, those stations that weren't $4.19 yet have mostly gone up to that price but no one has exceeded it.
Yeah, I was hoping someone would actually be down.
