What's the price of gas where you live?

I don't get it. 10 days ago gas was $1.56 in
W MI. Today it was $1.75 and oil is down
to $37.50, the more oil goes down the more
the price goes up.

Enjoy this low gas price while it lasts. Might not happen this year or the next but down the line. This downward spiral on the price of gas is purely artificial due to OPEC trying to force out the US because of the shale boom.

I wouldn't consider it artificial until they are selling for less than cost.

Maybe it is just a correction to get back to national average. Or maybe the stations are raising it to make more money.

Sure, they are just a business. They buy goods and sell them for whatever they want. It just happens to be very competitive so they usually fight for that last penny.

I have seen prices from $1.62 to $1.99 this week in my travels from SE Texas (near Houston) to Mason, TX. Mason is in the "Hill Country" and the prices are always a tad higher up there. I am assuming it has to do with the distance involved in distribution of products, because most prices trend a little higher there (in the grocery store as well as at the gas pump).
I enjoy filling up for less than $30; I don't enjoy seeing so many become unemployed due to the low prices of oil. The whole "boom or bust" thing is hard on people in the "bust" part of it...I always hope they were smart in the "boom"... Overall, the economy of Texas has diversified, so this isn't as bad as past cycles...

It takes a while for the price of refined products to track the price of crude. Plus the markets are very different. One thing is for sure, they won't be able to push it back up for very long. Looks like the January contract for WTI will settle around $37/bbl.

Before leaving to Laughlin, from Vegas, I only filled up to about a quarter of a tank at the Fremont/Charleston Arco (was around 2.39) because I know the fuel in AZ is cheaper (was around 1.85). About 10 miles North of Searchlight my engine cuts out and won't let me get above 3rd gear without a serious misfire/hesitation. Check engine light begins to flash as well. I pull over in Searchlight and decide to risk it to Laughlin knowing I may be doing serious harm to my engine. CEL is steady now and isn't flashing. I check in and decide to deal with it in the morning.
In the morning, I decide to do a tune up in the Bullhead City O Reilly parking lot. Shout out to Larry for letting me use all the tools I needed free of charge. Top-notch customer service all the way around. After new cap, plugs, wires and fuel filter I start the car and the CEL is now off. I find the nearest hill, try to climb it, and engine still has no power above 3rd gear. I'm out of ideas and need to go home the following day.
The next day, I fill up the tank, head for CA and have to stay in truck lane. Along the way the engine is steadily getting more power until eventually, about half way home, it's climbing and running fine. I have a 1998 Civic (one step below Miata) with almost 300k miles. I've never had this problem before. Was this just bad fuel, or what? Is Nevada fuel different from CA? Do the Techron, Heet etc. injector cleaners really work as advertised? The whole situation was stressful and now I'm not sure if buying cheap fuel is worth it in the long run.

In western PA quite a few gas stations are owned by the grocery stores. The grocery store that I frequent gives you .10 off per gallon for every $50 that you spend. They also sell a ton of giftcards to various places which often times earn double fuel perks. So on black Friday i stopped there prior to shopping and bought $800 in cards. 400 for Disney and 400 for our black friday shopping. I earned $3.20 in perks. They have a max of 30 gallons per use so that means I will get $96 worth of free gas. So just for using giftcards we were able to save 12% right off the top on our shopping.

Ahhhh! Now I understand.
That's Kroger, I use their point/perk system here in ATL.
Min $0.03 off per gallon, or $0.10 if you have points enough, or even more (option at tank sometimes).
Kroger operates under 8 or more different brand names in different parts of the country, based in CVG IIRC. One of their tech suppliers was one of my best clients for many years. Was a wild ride at times...
I could get a request for a pricing quote:
Assume these 20 components, sized from breadbox size to miata size, shipped from either one or ten multiple locations (listed), to all 2300 destination locations (listed) on a schedule varying from all at once to a two year rollout. And throw in local warehousing quotes, varying from 30 days to two years as we (client) are still working on just how quick we can get the installation crews in place and how many days it takes for each install. AND BTW, we are rolling out a First test of the installs, and need a couple extra tractor trailers from ATL to IAH tomorrow, along with warehousing space of 20,000 square feet as some of this material is on it's way from Long Beach Port and will start arriving in the next day or two, depending on Customs Clearance. Etc, etc, etc, etc.
Oh, and can you be ( you 2F ) in Houston to oversee all this inbound nightmare as the details will probably change before you read this message? We just need a ball park right now, but we'll update info every couple days for the next year or more.....?
The spreadsheets got rather involved, the situation was always.....dynamic is a nice way to put it.
THAT Kroger, I remember them. I still shop there, I get an old guy discount of 5% on Weds.....

It amazes me how obsessed people around here are with their FuelPerks. I never go to Giant Eagle, though, only Kroger. (Kroger has fuel perks too but I don't bother with them).

But credit card points are only going to save you 5% at most. I actually used a 5% card to buy the giftcards so I got 96 in gas and 40 in points. I basically saved 20%. One of the gcs were for kohls which had toys at 50% then I had 20% off coupon, then I got $30 in kohls cash. It was like getting toys at 85% off.
To answer your question, I can generally get 15 gallons in my car and then 3 5 gallon cans. GE let's you use cans but not a 2nd car. Some places don't let you use cans, it's only what you can get in your car.

Gas outside of Houston in areas I travel runs from $1.499 to 1.589 for lows depending on the area--cheaper north of town than southwest of town. In Houston, the signs showed prices about ten-twenty cents higher.
Double-edged sword here, of course...gas is low but jobs are disappearing quickly. I would say that I have seen more people impacted by this than I did during the recession at this point.
