The one I stopped at to fill up last night was at $3.79 I think last night. This morning it was over $4.
The other one is at $3.79 still. Wondering if they're all gonna start jumping or if that one station is just being dicks. They're in a spot that if you're stopping you probably need it. But they're usually the cheapest of the 3 stations I go to.
I'm gonna hit up the other place tonight just in case they're late on the up charge. Down to half a tank and I have just enough E85 to refill a half tank. Woot!
Just thought it was odd to have that large of a jump over night... 20 cents plus.

I've heard that some stations like to raise their prices overnight to make the morning crowd pay more and then they will lower their prices at night. Don't know if it's necessarily a true statement, but I did notice one day where the morning price was higher than the night price.

Moss Landing Valero.
When I'm in the bay area I go to chevron off montague expressway... cuz e85.
There are no e85 stations anywhere near me or I'd be tuned for it. So for now... I'll be happy running a gallon or two per tank whenever I can.

Dude, that Montague station is almost the most expensive one in the area...the one by Ranch 99 McCarthy IS the most expensive one, right up the street from the Montague one. I live and work right in the area

It's on a 2 lane highway that you have to use to get between santa cruz and monterey/salinas. It's the only station out there. Makes sense.

Ah... see I don't ever get holidays so I didn't think of that. I think you might be right. They did the same thing before labor day weekend. It's on a 2 lane highway that you have to use to get between santa cruz and monterey/salinas. It's the only station out there. Makes sense.
