Not Sure What's Happening At The Pump

The Great Deflating Prices For Gas

Gas prices -- what's down with that? Last week we were $2.48.9/gal in Allendale. $2.38.9 for the weekend.

Monday -- $2.34.9. Tuesday morning -- $2.30.9. And Tuesday evening -- $2.28.9/gal for regular.

I thought for sure they'd gouge us for Bastille Day, but apparently they missed that as a holiday. Maybe because it fell in the middle of the week. Memorial Day was around the three buck level and Fourth of July was running about $2.65.9/gal, down from $2.68.9 the day before.

Yeah, there's no rhyme or reason.

I believe that you are seeing cooperative big business. It's the airlines' turn to raise prices (as soon as they see a fuel price rise even though they bought their 12 million gallon reserve at the previous lower price), without ever dropping them again.

Whoo, that was a long sentence, wasn't it? Are run on sentences filled with parenthitecals forgiven?

Hey, it's like nested DO-loops in FORTRAN programming. Not for the faint hearted. (grin)
