In the past week gas prices have gone from $2.2830 to $2.5446, not a good sign.
Locally we are at $3.39

Re: Gasoline Prices
I scored a tank of regular for 2.84/gal on my way home from work. Diesel is sky high...almost $4.00/gallon. We use a forced-air heater at the shop that runs on that. My brother found a source of off-road diesel that only costs $2.75/gallon. It is because the shop is so far in the country that most of the patrons use this fuel in tractors and other off-road machinery. We use it for heating the shop.
The high-priced stuff has road taxes added...and the state has yet to fix the roads!

Re: Gasoline Prices
If you think that is high then you ought not come to Maine because it is $5.59 in our area, higher is some places and a little lower in other places for diesel. Off road diesel is not much less around here, still around $5 per gallon.

Re: Gasoline Prices
All those taxes are supposed to fix the roads. How's that working for you?

Re: Gasoline Prices
over the last decade we have seen a lot of road and bridge work and with government funding we have seen some work done at our airports, but the airport work is runways that needed replacing as scheduled...15 to 20 year replacement.
When I say road and bridge work, it is state maintained roads and bridges. All local maintained roads and bridges fall under the local municipality rule and get done if it fits in the budget. Also many local municipalities are having to replace and update local water and sewer systems, so roads are getting resurfaced when the project is complete in that area of the town or city.

Re: Gasoline Prices
just in our town alone and there are only three stations it ranges from $3.69 to $3.99
Up until recently they used to be within a couple pennies of each other, but not anymore. And they all get their gasoline and from the same distributor which is the part that is totally messed up and this distributor actually owns two of the stores and they are the two at $3.99 right now which makes zero sense...branded Citgo and Shell, the other one they supply to is branded Irving. All our fuel comes from the Canadian refineries which are owned by Irving out of New Brunswick, so the fuel is not traveling very far.
