They do it EVERY holiday like clockwork. This year was the first year in a long time where it didn't go up a retarded amount on 4th of July because prices were down, but it still went up.

 

Suchhh bs. Hate it b

 

I just paid like 3.6x in redwood city for 87

 

I paid $3.81 earlier at a shell.

 

I just paid 3.77 last night

 

I have the app, very useful on the go!

I always try to get fuel either at Redwood City or San Leandro/Hayward. For some reason, these are the two areas with the lowest average prices for premium.

 

All these low prices make me happy.. too bad it's winter blend though aha

 

paid 3.77 for 91 on 19th ave and irving at chevron

 

$3.49 costco hahaha

 

This ^ been going since last month. seriously gas stations just have it made. everyone needs it and they purposely raise it do to the fact that they can. There are no shortages and if there were, it doesn't effect all the other gas stations. Veteran's day is around the corner and thanksgiving. I expect gas to surpass 4 bucks by then and then drop afterwards.

 

Costco = random gas, not always good. I live a few blocks from Costco and I *NEVER* get gas there, no matter what the price is.

I looked at prices in my area and sure enough, they jumped like $0.30/gal overnight.

 

all the places in and around dublin are still 3.77-3.91 for 91

3.69 at safeways using debit for 91

 

Crazy thing... this morning... same station..

3.79.


So it jumped over 20 cents in one night then it dropped right back down. WTF?
Short on their property taxes or something? Need a 24 hour bump.

It's crazy how much they can make (the corporations) with one or two day bumps like that. You bump for a 2 day weekend... say 25 cents a gallon.

The average station in california on a busy travel weekend is gonna do 5000 gallons a day. So 10,000 gallons of fuel.

.25 a gallon. $2500 if ADDITIONAL profit per station. Call it 1500 chevron stations in california.

That's $3,750,000 of ADDITIONAL profit in TWO DAYS because they felt like it. And that's if the cost of barrels/production is stagnant. Often times they make these hikes and their cost is actually down at that moment.

And that's only one company. Multiply that by all the stations in the state and you're talking about a LOT of addition money leaving the pockets of californians... but the state doesn't care because they're getting their piece.
