I'm still wondering about the premium for diesel, too. When I bought my diesel sedan, a gallon of diesel cost about 15% more than a gallon of regular gasoline. That was inconsequential to me, because the fuel economy the car gets is roughly 50% better than that of my SUV. At the early math, the car made about a third of its own payment based on fuel cost savings.

Driving in to work today, I see regular at $3.39 and diesel at $4.45 -- a 28% premium. What the heck??

Northwest of Houston at Walmart…$3.22 for mid-grade 89 Octane. Regular was $2.99. This was on Saturday…

I think we're approaching prices of gas in countries with no natural oil supplies. How can that be?

In NEWYOHKISTAN, gas prices have increased everyday. The increases are anywhere from 5 cents to 10 cents. Why can’t the gas price come that quick?

Local HEB had diesel for $4.10 last Saturday. This past weekend it was $4.60.

went up between 40 and 43 cents a gallon last week....

Just paid $6.19/gallon for Premium/92 yesterday (Seattle area).

Just filled up at Costco Palm Beach Gardens, FL today. $3.09 / gal.

The fuel prices are simply crazy. Back up to 3.80 here and will probably go higher. I definately try and conserve by less driving and planning my trips. I feel for those in the higher priced areas. Dont know how anyone can afford 6 and 7 dollar per gallon. I would be done driving untill things got better.

Spartanburg Costco $3.14 today
Last Wednesday it was $2.94

If they’re this high now just imagine what they’re going to look like the day after the midterms

After the mid-terms gas prices are going up like a HIRMARS rocket. Okay, maybe not that fast but they are going to go up significantly. I'm long on Oil and Refinery stocks.

Meanwhile, gas in northern Puget Sound is $5.09 at a local Costco. However, there are some price differences even between Costco's around the Sound.

September Consumer Price Index Shows Inflation Continuing to Rise More Than Expected, Fed Raising Rates Having No Impact Because it is NOT Demand Side Inflation

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics released the September Consumer Price Index (CPI) today [DATA HERE]. The financial and business media call the continued rise of consumer inflation “unexpected,” however, the results are not a surprise to those who are not pretending.

This CNBC headline highlights the economic pretense still entrenched: “Inflation increased 0.4% in September, more than expected despite rate hikes.” Those who are not pretending fully understand the economic dynamic, but you will not find reality expressed by the mainstream media.

FED rate hikes can only impact the demand side of the inflation issue. U.S (and global) inflation is NOT the result of excess demand. It has not been driven by demand for over a year. The root cause of inflation is on the supply side. That root is grounded in the energy policy making everything entering the marketplace more expensive.

The historic rise in energy prices; the result of Joe Biden’s specific energy policy to limit oil, gas and coal as energy resources; are what have driven inflation throughout the economy. The monetary policy (Fed policy) continues to pretend this dynamic does not exist. The FED is trying to support the political policy, but the bloom is off the ruse.

Overall inflation increased 0.4% in September, leading to a result of 8.2% year over year. Food and energy prices continue driving inflation, additionally core inflation (everything except food and energy) continues to be driven by the originating issue of extreme energy costs.

Everything costs more because energy costs more. That is the reality of this inflation issue.

The lowest station around here was $2.36 last night. This evening, it's at $2.80. It was the last station to stay that low, but when it went up, it did with a vengeance.

That is certainly different for Texas. Northern Kentucky is all in the $2.63 to $2.67 range. Sams and Costco $2.63. Speedway is $2.66. Same for Thorntons.

$3.10 in the Yoop.

Eastern PA---Berks took a 15-cent spike last night...............

Brandon’s butt flies are whining that the decrepit POS isn’t getting credit for gas prices “falling.” Yeah, gas prices dropped below $3 a gallon for just a few weeks at most because people were driving less, for which these Commies rejoice, and because Brandon dipped into the strategic petroleum reserve.

I may have said this before, but crediting FJB for falling gas prices is like crediting an arsonist for putting out a fire.
