RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!

Gasoline prices have "inched down" to $3.49 at many stations. Extracting maximum profits as they can. Diesel is below $4.00 a gallon - $3.99. But oil is still above $100 a barrel.

What are we paying for LP this week in LA TX or MS?

Gasoline prices continue inch downwards. Many stations are down to $3.53 from $3.56. But there seems to be a feeling out there that we may see $4.00 gasoline this summer.

The link below leads to a graph of gasoline prices. You can adjust the time period yourself.

Besides the corrosive nature of ethanol the fact remains that there are fewer BTU per gallon of ethanol blended gasoline than straight unleaded. Looking at the CGE equivalent ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent ) it would appear that every 5% of added ethanol reduces the CGE by 1% and at $3.00 per gallon is the same as adding 3Cents per gallon to the effective cost.. (My assumption was that every supplier that says UP TO 10% means they will go to the max in using it.)

Are there still price supports for the ethanol industry????

Yep. kinda like the oil industry stiffing us for millions each year or the hollywood farmers getting moneys not to plant in the past or on the other hand Oklahoma allowing the energy company's to have a law that puts solar and wind energy under a penalty because they cut into their profits.
Big money rules this country and will till we change it.

Yep, to the tune of 53 cents per gallon with a 10% mandate. The corn belt states have it locked in. What a waste.

Was surprised to regular for $3.15 in Globe AZ, It was $3.45 in Apache Junction. :C

Best prices in Tucson, AZ on 4/16/2014:

Regular 3.219
Diesel 3.659

A national forecast for gas prices from the USEIA:

EIA's projection, as of February 11, 2014, for the average retail price of regular-grade gasoline for February to December 2014 is $3.44 per gallon. The projection for the average retail price in 2015 is $3.36 per gallon.

(There are regional differences, with California prices the highest in the West.)
