AAA tells us the average gallon of unleaded regular in the U.S. yesterday was $1.989. It also says the record price was $2.054 a gallon in May.
In May crude oil sold for around $40 barrel. Today it is near $55 a barrel.
Why hasn’t the price at the pump kept pace with the price of crude?
How much do you think gasoline will cost after the election?
Diesel fuel prices are at a record high by the way — $2.136 yesterday.
Here in Tucson, the price varies as much as, 12 cents a gallon. Sometimes, at stations directly across from, or next to each other.
I was in Phoenix and surrounding communities on Wednesday and the price was $2.11 per gallon. Not at a few stations, but every single station from Chandler to North Phoenix. What?s wrong with that picture?
So the advantage of living in a community that is considered to be ‘swing’ in terms of the election is that gas could stay cheap until November 3.
