These folks show early January prices to be a little below $3.40 a gal. US Retail Gas Price. Yours was on sale, perhaps?
$3.29 here at Costco yesterday. It was $3.01 there just 3 weeks ago. Yep, we bought gas for around $2.82 in Dec.Gas at a nearby Costco was $2.89 in December. Just checked gasbuddy.com, and it is currently $3.38/gal.
.We drive very little so I don't notice gas prices much as I fill up infrequently.
Next month however we leave for the UK and Ireland where we'll be doing lots of driving. Just checked the current prices and it is going to cost ~$10/gal (us gallon).
Thought about driving my RV to Costco to fill it up at $2.89, but was afraid the gas would get stale by the time I take the next trip. I could have put an additional 40 gallons in there, which means a saving of $20 at just the current price.
Oh well, what's $20 when I burn more than a couple grands on gas for each RV jaunt?
$3.51/9 this morning in Lufkin, TX. $3.36/9 this afternoon in Shreveport, LA (125 miles apart). Difference between state's gas taxes is primary difference. TX has no income tax, so they tax gas higher.
I hope to be able to do a bit more RV'ing before I get older, or lose my interest.Yeah... I know you love RVing... 'Twas our plan in the early days... "See, Honey? We can do the State Parks for $5/night, or as Campground Hosts, we could stay in different parks for months at a time, and see the country." But that was in 1978...
