The price of gas went down...

40 cents a gallon during the last two hours.

When I was heading to the Cracker Barrel, gas was $4.99 at the gas station on the corner. Coming home, I saw it was $4.59. I thought I heard that oil was up again today. What gives? I'm not complaining, mind you......

It went from $499.9 here to $479.9 yesterday as well. Not as cheap as your price but better, they are practically giving it away.

GasBuddy is showing gas in the town nearest me at about $3.89. If you travel in either direction it's 4.08 or higher. Mostly higher. I think the reason we have lower prices is because a WaWa station just opened up and they're probably keeping their prices lower to bring in new customers.

We use a lot less gas than we used to so we usually go to Kroger once a month and use the discount price from grocery shopping. I'll take three five gallon jugs with me to fill them up. I use those for mowing and putting some back in the car.

Last week I went to a very small town in Virginia called Altavista. I found gas there for 3.59 while most other stations were at $4.39. It was an unmanned station but everything was working as it should.

Our gas just went back up to $4.99 sometime today. I have no idea what's going on.....

It is called greed!

My understanding is that the main driver of pump price is the cost when the tanker truck was filled. That has been yo-yoing. Your local station makes more money from sales of chips, snacks, sugary drinks, etc. than on gas.
