Yesterday's Tractor Forums
One station has stayed at 3.13 while another has been up to 3.29, back to 3.15 and back up to 3.24
 
Just filled up for $3.98/gallon. It's getting out of hand. Used to fill my tank for nearly nothing. Picked up kerosene for $4.09/gal for the heater. It's getting brisk.
 
Price is $3.39 .

Saw this at Kroger's check out.

Does anyone have a Kroger's CC?
 
$3.199 most places here in the Spring Hill, TN area. However, there's a Race Trac station in town. I filled my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee yesterday for $2.899 per gallon. Why is it cheaper? I have no idea. And it still cost me more than $50.00 to fill the tank.

Tom in TN
 
Hobo, NC I'm also in central NC and it is rising so fast that don't put the price changing pole away
 
Here is southern middle Tennessee road diesel is $3.29 - 3.49. I bought farm fuel last week at $2.95 I believe. Don't remember what gas is.
 
$3.059 to $3.199 here in se MI. Don't pay attention to the diesel price here, the Case 580 is in Tn.
 
here in Manitoba we are at $1.43 a liter. not sure how the math works but I think that is $5.45 a gallon. That is gas and diesel
 
I fill my fuel tank home heating 3 weeks ago at $2.60 = today $ 3.10. It's going to be a long & hard winter I think this winter !!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hardly a surprise. We live just off 13 HWY in south west MO. I have never seen traffic this heavy and steady since the first of this year. We burn it up and the suppliers make us pay. That's how capitalism works. gm
 
ive got 2 jugs to get filled with diesel today. not looking forward to how many sawbucks I'll have to fork over
 
Hi Bruce ..... a few of the Americans say they're crowding $4 per gallon but most are less, some near $3 per gallon. Gas Buddy has average prices across Canada and they say that today in Ontario for example where you live that the average price is $1.45 per litre (not too much more than here near Edmonton). So take that and multiply by 3.78 (the number of litres in a US gallon) and then multiply that by about $0.80 (approximately the current exchange rate). That comes out to $4.38 USD per US gallon. Yes, some are approaching that down south but most are somewhat lower still, some considerably lower depending on what considerably means. No doubt though that the spread seems to be lessening.
 
CJ ...... I think you're a bit high, you didn't factor in the dollar exchange rate. Take your $1.43 and multiply by 3.78 (litres in a US gallon). That gives you $5.41 but then you have to multiply by $0.80 (the approximate exchange rate). That comes to $4.33 USD per US gallon.
 
All commodity prices fluctuate, including farm products and farm inputs. As long as gas is less than a bushel of corn I'm OK.
 
Mostly this year its like DOUBLED of what it was last fall/winter THANKS A LOT grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm sure there are lots of folks sitting in those football stadiums with 80,000 other people and who payed outrageous prices for tickets that whine and complain about gas prices. Then drive home in their $70,000 SUV's or pickup trucks. Not everyone of course but lots of them. But football, that's different man ..... ha!!
 
Well we all have things we spend money on we probably shouldnt but then life isnt much fun . See my steam engine posts
 
Gary: Yes, but the assumption behind the invisible hand of market forces determining prices is that there is free and open competition, and an absence of external forces on the market. These assumtpions aren't met right now. The fuels market in particular is highly influenced by both domestic and international politics *and* monetary policy--in both directions.

I am not justifying political influence, nor am I criticizing it. I am just pointing out that the price of a market good such as fuel is more complicated than the simple rule of supply and demand taught in economics 101.

Amen.
 
Dave, as it should be. Unfettered capitalism begets things like high insulin prices. Thank intervention here for giving us the cheapest gas in the world. gm

The US isn't even remotely close to the cheapest gas in the world. Not even in the lower 1/2. The most expensive gas in the world is $9.94 per gal and the least expensive is $0.15. Thats right, 15 cents a gallon.
 

Bret, Funny you didnt mention the name of the country with the cheapest gasoline. Are your bags packed to love there? By my fast and dirty count, the US is 50th. Starting at Indonesia at 30th, the price goes past $3. I sure would not wanna live in any of those cheap gas countries

Also - Not even the top half? Roughly 130 countries have more expensive gasoline. Roughly 50 have less. You have some funny maybe there.
 

Just had my farm diesel tank filled today, $2.959 per gallon here in Ky
Also had the propane tanks filled at the poultry barns, farm propane currently is $1.79

Doesn't matter who has the cheapest, nor do I desire to live anywhere else. The point is the US most certainly does not have the cheapest and that is certainly the result of "intervention", eg- gov't taxes, regulation, etc. The chart I checked had 179 nations. You are correct that I was wrong in stating the US in not in the bottom half, I put 1/2 when I intended to put 1/3. That was my mistake in lousy proofreading, kinda like you did in that last post about my math, or at least thats what I think you intended to say. The 1/2 point is at $4.885, 1/3 is 3.256. The US is at $3.67.

Bret,
It definitely does matter. You know it, too, because you did not mention it. The US had far and away the cheapest fuel of any developed nation with a working government and economy. You can massage the numbers any way you want to try and deny that, but that is the fact.

Wanna pay 15 cents for gasoline? Move to Venezuela. Wanna pay less than $1? Move to Iran or Syria. Wanna pay $1 more than we do? Move to China. Wanna pay $10? Move to Hong Kong.

If the guy had said, "The cheapest gas of any 1st world nation." then it would matter. Make a broad brush statement, and you take what comes with it. It doesn't matter if you like or not. The US does not have the cheapest gas in the world which was what was said. And when you come down to it, why should being a so called "First World Nation" mean we should expect to have higher gas prices? That seems to be the gist of what you're grousing about.
