Gas Prices on the Rise!

@billybob :
Big Oil big shots must have called him over the weekend complaining about oil prices dropping.My opinion alone and whatever

@billybob : Is there any consistent narrative out of this camp beyond chaos?

@mypeez :
NO. Some people are also concerned that Trumps optimistic remarks about peace talks are way, way overly optimistic. Furthermore , he seems to make them right before the market opens which is a bigger concern.

@billybob :
With the stock markets recently soaring to record highs, I finally checked my 401k levels. Surprised that I gained about 5k since the end of March. So I guess I have to be grateful for the current administration in influencing that. Just hope that nothing happens to make the DOW and S&P to suddenly drop.

Meanwhile, the working poor, that don't own stock, fell even farther behind.

Gas to Income

Either a gas war is happening, or the local gas cartel can't control Pekin's prices. Yesterday and today, most in Pekin were $4.29, with one at 4.39. A little further north in N. Pekin and Creve Coeur, it's 4.62. I can understand a dime or .15 difference, but .33? Of course, I'm sure Peoria is still higher than that.(Not to be rude, but I know Costco's gas is a lot cheaper, but not everyone is a member of Costco to get that price.)

@DennisinPeoria: We have entered uncharted territory where gas prices seem to be whatever the gas station thinks is appropriate. I don't think gas prices are tied to the actual cost anymore. I have some stations near me in DFW that are still over $4 a gallon, when BJ's and a few other stations a mile away are as low as $3.199.

Looks like Cotsco gasoline is $4.03 per gallon. $4.40 by the airport is the next lowest in the area. The one on 29 just south of the 150 bridge is also one of the cheaper ones at $4.43. www.gasbuddy.com/gas pricemap?lat=40.6804 5495506788&lng=-89.6 0240943728034&zThe Cotsco membership is tempting at $65 per year. Note that members can buy gift cards (Costco Shop Cards) with cash or card that can be used at Cotsco gas station by non members.

Costco????

@CCubs : Yes CosTco! Clearly I'm not a member.

Casey's in Pekin dropped another dime to 4.19, .40 cheaper than Creve Coeur at 4.59 (North Pekin too)
Figure that out, folks. Not holding my breath for any more price drops since no one can figure things out way across the pond....
