I think its to go up July 14th. I’m pretty sure its a ‘proposal’ at this point. But I believe they have gotten every one asked for in recent history.No small wonder they staying tight lipped about it
Seems like fuel cost increases would help justify it
Speaking of.... this came out yesterday... i always wonder why people blame the wrong people/person when the facts are right there
BREAKING: Oil industry players worked to fix prices at artificially high levels by coordinating limitations on how much oil they would drill — per new complaint from the Federal Trade CommissionFTC alleges that oil execs used texts and WhatsApp to jack up the price of gasoline
Taking both 5 gallon fuel containers into town for fill, one will be red dyed diesel, other non-ethanol so one "cheaper" one not so much. Have 14 yards of gravel for driveway and need some for roto-tiller and weed whacker

You must have good connections to get the red dyed stuff 
I just noticed yesterday we have a station with 93 non ethanol. It was over 4 a gallon but if you need it, you pay the price.
Isn’t that what Opec does?Speaking of.... this came out yesterday... i always wonder why people blame the wrong people/person when the facts are right there

That’s a minor hit compared to what they lose to counterfeit stamps. Mostly from China.

Many places here in town the crappy 91 is over $6
100% but no one seems to blame them.. it's very odd how people think.

If You de-value currency intentionally, & then tell a multi-trillion$$$$ industry You're going to work to "put them out of business", what would You do if You were an exec in said industry??? Wait for that entity to bleed You dry then kill You? Or be proactive?? Also, when somebody says "record profits" & gives You a $$$$ figure, well a million$ don't buy what it used to so.....
And there it is

"Shell reported adjusted earnings of $28.25 billion for the full-year 2023"
Local Farmers Supply store, they also sell non-ethanol fuel, can't find any of that over 87 Octane here on the island but at least it doesn't gum up my small engine stuffYou must have good connections to get the red dyed stuff
Three of the largest oil and gas producers this week reported strong combined profits of $85.6 billion in 2023...

The crude in this valley is so heavy it's not processed for fuel. There is a small amount as a by-product, but the majority gets turned to asphalt oil and coke. Just up the beach a little ways, that deposit is light and very refinable and that pool of oil goes all the way to the Sierra foothills.
Our's is $4.19 I see. That's what I run in the lawn mowers. I usually run 91 in my old cars with no issues. I have run some E10 in them but I drive them pretty easy when I do.
why 91 in your lawnmower? i use 87 for everything pretty much
The 91 is non ethanol. All the rest is E10,15 or E85.
ahh k
