What are you guys paying for gas?

As a retired refinery worker with more than a little oil company stock,,,,I say higher, is better.

Diesel has hopped up about $0.50 here. I think it was a penny or two over $3/gallon.
 
Shell has 87 regular for $2.60 a gallon here. I live about 10 miles from the Shell refinery (Motiva), and 10 miles from the Marathon refinery, and can't get a decent price on gas. Taxes add so much to the price it's ridiculous.
 
How about tracking what you pay in gasoline taxes before judging on the street price. Everyone wants to pay $1.99 a gallon but they fail to realize when their state legislature raises the tax. The Maryland gas tax is indexed to inflation and goes up every year. Prices will never be as low as they were.

It does make you wonder how long the electric trend can use the road and ride for free...

Inflation is a political cop-out, CPI have averaged 1.3ish % for last 10 years so vast majority of those price increases are from other taxes/sources. EVs pay some form of extra fee in 28 states now and seems like more coming soon. Worldwide we are likely within a few years of peak oil demand, geopolitical stuff has way more impact than ever before but states aint helping.. End of 2020 PA .77 tax pergallon, CA, .73 per and they were 2 worse i know of. Federal tax has been steady at .184 per gallon for years but allegedly thats being targeted to move to .25. Wait to AOC is Transportation Secretary....lol.
