Oil workers on strike at several refineries and it's spreading. We can now expect rising costs to consumers at any moment. This is week one of strike.

Yep, we have had a 2 price thing for some time. Just forget the low price unless you want to carry around a gob of money. Now that prices are lower I've seen some stations with both prices the same an hoping this is a trend.

Burlington, WA

Gas $1.64
Diesel $2.30

Texas City, TX

Just returned from a 10 day, 1,200 mile, Quartzite, Joshua Tree NP and southern California run. Sequentially, the following fuel prices were for regular (87 octane), purchased with a credit card:

Tucson - $1.79
I-10 (25 miles east of Q) - $1.99
Yucca Valley - $2.23
San Diego - $2.33
Yuma - $1.78
Casa Grande - $1.75

{I like to drive on the top half of the tank so most of these were 20 to 30 gallon purchases.}

South Hill, VA, 1.759, diesel 2.749

$1.699 today

$2.549 in Burlington, WA today at CENEX farm supply. DIESEL

I love the low prices and glad I don't work in the oil fields.

Washington has one of the highest fuel taxes in the US, so our numbers tend to be higher. A couple of days ago, our local Safeway was selling regular for $1.999. A small convenience store 20 miles away had $1.669 on their display. Sure beats the $4.59 we paid t a couple of small towns on the Oregon Coast last spring!

Just a little chuckle on that!
We spent the week between Christmas and new years on the Oregon Coast at South beach SP. We left Portland with 3/4 of a tank of diesel and full propane. Well with all the running around, and keeping warm in the fiver, we needed Fuel and Propane. While Diesel in the Portland are was as low as $2.69, Propane was $2.70 at best.

We paid $3.44 for the diesel, and $2.40 for propane.
