Crude oil traded down $3.12 to $115.63 in the front month and down in the outter months as well. The main reason appears to be the stength in the dollar verses the EURO and other major currencies. Gasoline should come off a few cents.

In Escondido, our cheapest price, paying cash, is $3.81, the "average" price, paying cash, is $3.90, and the highest price, with cash, is $4.00.

So, we'd be very happy if it atually did come down a few cents!

Bonnie, I think our price here is around $3.39 /gallon for 87 Octane.

While in Oklahome this weekend I filled up for the return trip at 3.45, the cheapest I found.  Here close to home 3.49 - 3.59 is the going rate and that was also between here and Wichita this morning.

I filled both of our vehicles this weekend and at our neighborhood Phillips station it was $3.39, and is today.  Walmart maybe a penny or two less.

I think Phillips 66 was where we filled up, but this was in Blackwell which is probably like the difference between Trip-co and P&J's

The gasoline at Blackwell may have come from  the same refinery as the gas I bought in Bartlesville, ConocoPhillips Ponca City Refinery, it is possible that the Phillips Bartlesville gas comes from SUNOCO or the old Tecaco refinery in Tulsa as that would be closer than Ponca is to Bartlesville. In any case the Gas you bought at Blackwell had less transpotation in it than what I buy.

They must haul ours out here from Oklahoma, that's why it is priced so much higher!

I always really enjoy "filling 'er up" in Bartlesville, when we're back that way.

but if it had less transportation, shouldn't it have been cheaper?
