Okay....the doom and gloom people have started up again in this post and another.....I'm going to ruin your predictions.. Fuel Prices Falling

So, how come the gasoline prices have now gone up 6¢ a gallon this past week? Plus I notice this morning some stations have raised their prices another 4¢ a gallon to $3.39. That is a total of 10¢ a gallon this past week. So much for the cost going down.......

I filled up my MH on Wednesday in Spanish Fort, Alabama at $3.32/gal. The price of fuel will not stop me from traveling. I love the experience!

3.39, wow I just filled up yesterday for 3.59 here in Missouri, where was it 3.39?

Up at the end of I-35 the prices are $3.35 to $3.39. And it will be in the mid-30's for high temperatures. We might see the sun today and hardly any snow on the ground.

We'll be planning a few trips for the summer.

3.39 gallon diesel?
We saw 309 or unleaded near El Paso but diesel was 3.79 to 3.82 on Interstate.
Since valve adjustment we are averaging 9.2 miles per gallon at 80 mpg last tank. It just creeps up on you. Rand McNally hollers warning every little bit making me wake up from my nap.
We cannot afford the forecast prices. We will have to sit.
There is no justification for the prices. Just wait until Tier Three is dumped on us by this EPA. Last hurrah and they are doing everything they can to us before January 13. It will crash the market big time.

I know I know calculator is Chinese.
