I expected to see pump prices drop overnight, because Governor DeSantis signed a gas tax relief bill that would eliminate the 25.3¢ / gallon tax, effective October 1, 2022 (today).

I have not seen any change in pump prices.

When they did that here last July, the dealers didn't lower their prices until they got replenished with gas they didn't pay the tax on.
It took at least several days before we saw prices dropping at the pump.

Gas has gone up about .45c here in the last 5 days.

$5.69 on the low end at Costco...everywhere else is averaging about $5.90-6

Prices around us were about 3.55 a couple weeks ago, then jumped to 3.89, now the cheapest is 3.98 with the average being 4.09. Only saw two stations with 3.98 prices in the last two days.

Back up to $3.29 from $2.89 overnite last week.

Strange. Ones around here within a couple of miles have been holding steady, some in fact have gone lower (2.75), for weeks now, although further away, I've seen them creeping up a bit.

This past week, lovely Gov Newsome harped on oil and gas companies to lower the cost of fuel for Californians. Well Gavy, let me recap it for you.

Single-party rule, super-majority in the state legislature, anti-oil and gas policies with CalGEM, the nation's highest fuel taxes, the nation's highest electrical and gas costs, and an overall anti-small business environment.

I was in NM two weeks ago and paid $3.20/gal. I'm back in NM this week and it's $3.45/gal. Meanwhile, back in CA it went from $4.89 to just shy of $6.00.

California's high fuel prices are solely the responsibility of the California governor and legislature.

According to California's Board of Equalization (tax board), CA sells about 80 million gallons of refined fuel.......each day. That number may have gone down a bit since Covid and more EVs on the road. Regardless, CA residents are paying an extra $29B each year (80M x $1 above average/ gallon x 365).

We're (PNW) up 81 cents since I filled up last week.

I mentioned it before, but the only real action Biden has taken other than blaming the oil companies and screaming "gouging" with his fist cinched at the station operators, is robbing our gas from the national reserve. This is artificial, but the election you know. And now with the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipe line he'll site that as the cause of increasing prices at the pump. I'm not much of a conspiracy theory guy, but this does smell like 3 day old fish to me.

I checked today. $6.80-$7.20 here. FJB and the Hoe.

He signed that months ago. Given that Florida just got smashed by a hurricane and fuel supplies are tight no dealer is going to drop their price 25 cents in an upward trending market. Especially since when those dealers run out, they won’t be getting resupplied quickly or easily.

It's up in the Seattle metro area.

You think it's rising now, wait until November 9th.

If the Dems win, they'll be emboldened; if they lose it will be some sort of EO as payback.

Was out and about a short while ago and prices have inched up a few pennies, but nothing major. The cheapest prices around here at the moment is $3.01 for 87...

I just filled the tank for $3.07/gallon. I haven't seen it go up here for a while.

I just filled up for $2.89/gallon.

$3.99 a gallon here in southeast Wi., today..

Yep. We went for a cruise last week and paid $2.94 in SC near Columbia. Paid $3.21 on the way home Sunday.

Prices are not going to stay low, oil will be over $100 a barrel again in the near future.
