1.99 then 2.05 then back down to 1.99 pre-mention of the name Harvey. Bam, up to 2.49 and solid as a rock there. Nobody's running out of gas, there's plenty around. Just an easy profit over the old priced fuel sitting in the tanks, is all.
Local news says prices in Huntsville, Ala., should begin declining by the end of this week. GOOD! I have a 55-gallon barrel that needs filling once it gets back to 1.99-ish.
We gassed up my CRV and Mrs IB's Accord yesterday PM up in town at Smith's (Kroger). I had $0.90 off gas in store credits so we filled both cars up for $1.42 gallon. So full price up in town (Lost Almost) is $2.32 down the road only 8 miles to the banana belt where we are there is an native American owned station and a commercially owned station selling for $1.85. Down the road 20 miles towards Santa fe it's going for $1.69. So crazy price differences in a pretty short drive (at least for us).
