What's the price of gas where you live?

Nobody's driving so the gas stations aren't getting refills at lower prices. Prices have dropped maybe 15 cents in the last two weeks and may be closing in on record low prices of the last 10 years of $2.25/gallon.
The NYS DMV is closed so my driver's license will expire next month. Someone has to reprogram the cops about driving with expired licenses. The Governor says licenses will be extended.

Quote: ItsCalledSoccerWhere I live, it's $3.75.
I thought it would be interesting to look at prices with all this stuff going on over in the Middle East.
I heard a gas station owner say in an interview, no, they're not paying a higher price for gas YET, but they anticipate a higher price and need to have the cash-on-hand right away to pay for it, so they raise the prices right away. I don't know if I buy that or not, but I have heard of other businesses doing that, especially financial services (in anticipation of inflation, etc.).
Here it's $0.71 per liter, so $2.68 per gallon. Gasoline doesn't serve their purpose during this pandemic. What I mean is that no people will go outside and do non-sense stuffs. Gasoline will expire as time goes by.
Once this is done, expect the increase, but the world hasn't reached its peak yet.

$2.29 I think by me. I haven't been to a gas station since mid March. I was told that it is $0.97.9 at the cheapest station on the nearby Indian Reservation. Probably $1.40 of my $2.29 is NYState taxes.

Most stations in my city are at $4.999/gallon. Saw one sign where regular was $5.099 and premium was $6.599, and if the price ever comes back down it will be stuck there for months.
Saw an old sign from the 1970's where the 3 grades of gas were 10 cents apart at $0.799, $0.899, and $0.999. I guess we could expect that only a dollar apart at $7.999, $8.999, and $9.999 soon enough. Lately it's been 10 cents to 40 cents apart between the grades. I haven't seen this kind of gas inflation since the 1973 oil embargo.

The economy car I use to run errands runs great on "regular gas" (the least expensive E10 or lower hose).
I know today's fillup was under $55 (not by much), and under 12 gallons (not by much). I think $4.619, but I can't be bothered to go grab the receipt and look. Probably an 87 E10 blend.
The sticker on the local pumps suggests 91 octane E0 for small engines, and the manual for the lawnmower concurs. Seems to run fine on 87 E10.
The E85 flexfuel blends would work in the runabout (not the lawnmower!), but the consensus I've heard is fewer miles per tank due to the lower energy density. I can't trust the rest of the family not to screw up my science, so I'm not going to try to evaluate the relative miles per dollar.
May the cards fall in your favor.

The small engines I always use the 91. Filled the 5 gallon can up 4/5ths of the way today....$46 it was $2.41 Can a litre.
Reason being that ethenol gums up the carburetors. My commercial 21 inch Toro mower is on its 15 season and never pulled the carb off to clean it.. Kawasaki engine starts first or second pull. Ditto the 2004 backpack blower and weed Wacker.
Can't tell you how many snowblowers I've pulled carbs off to clean them up or just replace as $20 gets a new plastic one for the Toro ones most have here. Again easier starts in 10*F weather with the 91 in them.

I do try to fill the tiny carburetors with E0 and treated with fuel stabiliser when parking for the end of the season.
In season, I figure the fuel gets burned fast enough not to turn into varnish in those miniscule orifices.
I don't like cleaning carburetors, but the few squirts of solvent every now and again plus the 12 minutes of taking it off and putting it back together is probably therapeutic. ;)
