Someone got arrested in Atlanta for drilling holes into Gas Tanks and stealing gas  :tdwn

Quote
There have been at least ten victims in Kirkwood, Edgewood and East Atlanta. Victims reported coming out to their cars and trucks to find their gas tanks empty and holes drilled into their tanks.

I've definitely been trying to stretch my mileage a bit. Since BMWs have always had economy gauges right there on the dash it's pretty easy to re-train yourself to drive more efficiently, and it does make a small difference. My problem is that even though I'm only about 7 miles from work, it's directly SW across all NSEW streets. Tons of turns and starts and stops. Traditionally I only get about 14mpg on that drive, hence the re-learning. I'll be forced to move in a few months, but that's likely to only make matters worse.

My new Kia has a little meter that tells me my current mpg as well as the cumulative for the trip... I was way too obsessed with it today.  :lol

Yeah, it's actually incredibly useful for the times you care. Driving like a maniac is really more my thing, and I do that at the expense of gas and tires, but right now I'm on a quest to maximize my mileage.

Same... As I said, at 4am in the bay area, it's straight up the Autobahn... I'm curious to see how everyone else adjusts their habits. Figure well be at 6/gallon by week's end... That's gotta tame even the craziest of drivers

I should be joining you guys in this, but I'm not sure I can control myself.  Maybe if the roads were empty so I could do cruise control, but I'm just so impatient with all the terrible drivers around here.

My commute is essentially fixed. Spirited driving doesn't really effect my travel time. What it does is make me happy, and I'm still quite willing to downshift and floor it through a yellow light. Where I'm shaving MPG is how I accelerate away from every damn stop sign and pointless light I have to stop at. Getting from one stop sign to the next two seconds quicker doesn't really accomplish anything. If driving 70+ were an option I'd be all over it.

So glad I work from home. Gas prices are around $4.50 a gallon by me. I went to the store on Tuesday to pick a few things up and was shocked. Certain food items that I always buy were somehow a dollar more than they were a week or two ago. This feels like price gauging to me right now.

I went to the local costco today for lunch and get gas.... the gas line was INSANE so just got lunch.  Costco has the best gas prices, but not sure it's worht the 30 minute wait it looked like it would be.  Got gas down the street for $4.27 today which I thought was a pretty good price (all things considered) and no wait.

The Racetrack around the corner from the shop is how I've been gauging prices, and it's actually been going down. Think it was 3.85/g this morning.

And yeah, people who freak out over slightly cheaper gas are a trip. Saving 10¢ a gallon doesn't really make a huge difference, and if you have to sit and idle for half an hour to get it you're eating into that already small savings.

Another interesting aspect to gas shortages is that those of us who drive cars requiring higher octane typically get hit a little less than people who use the cheapest gas possible. It seems to me like when prices increase the gap between 87, 89, 93 narrows a bit. I bounce back and forth between mid and premium largely depending on what the difference is, and when I have to fill up next time premium will almost certainly be the winner. I'm not sure if that's actually rational or not, but since pricing based on octane is an artificial construct anyway, I feel better only paying 40¢ more vs 80¢ as it often is.

Station nearest to me jumped from 5.89 to 6.29 overnight, Chevron and a Shell kitty corner to each other.  Safeway down the street where I usually go was at 5.19.

I've been noticing that, the gap between them is getting smaller and smaller.

My question is when will the gas prices start stabilizing?  Note, I'm not asking when it will go down, but rather, when will it stop going up?

My coworker in downtown LA shared a pic of the gas station nearby and it was a 2 cent change between regular mid and premium. However regular was 6.92 lol insane but yeah at that point just get premium.

Premium gas is in much lower demand so it makes sense that the gaps are smaller between grades at this point.  I can't use regular or even mid-grade gas in my car because it's supercharged.  Before the gas hikes, high octane was about 50c more than regular.  I could offset the difference with fuel points.  However, it's been 3 weeks since I filled up and I'm not sure what the difference in price is now where I live.

Oil tanked over 8% today, finished under 100/barrel. Let's see how long that takes to be reflected at the pump.



Lady being interviewed earlier made a comment that summed stuff up real nicely.... "There is no shortage of oil, the price of oil is rising because the people who profit of trading in oil are taking advantage of our fear of running out of oil."

Not surprising.

On other inflation related pain, the COVID outbreaks in China are going to potentially impact the supply chain yet again - everything from "computer chips to chocolate" in the article I read.  I'd also read last week that Ukraine and Russia both supply a lot of wheat to Europe and (obvs) the former isn't planting too many crops at the moment; the latter won't be able to sell any.  Future prices of breads and animal feed are likely to increase.  The UN is actually warning of a worldwide shortage of food

I had to mute my family group text because all it was turning into was an ongoing $#%&*-fest of blaming every ill of the world on Biden. And while I don't doubt Biden is just as skilled at making a bad situations worse as any politician, it was getting to be too much. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of announcing this, and woke up to a tirade of "ignorance is bliss" messages from my brother  :lol

It's actually been my experience that gas prices are one of the very few things that really respond well to market forces. Remember, this is an area where we charge 3.299/10 because people will drive down the street rather than get ripped off to the tune of $3.30.  :lol  Once one station lowers their price they all will, and somebody's always trying to be the cheapest.
