Paid $5.05 for diesel at the Benton city exit Sunday🙃

Missed a connecting flight in Denver two weeks ago. Gas was 2.25! In ND it was 2.85. No refineries here, plus they can’t move it by rail anymore either.

Someone said gas was $1.99 a gallon. Don't believe the price at the pump that's all fake. Everyone is getting rich. Richer than we could have ever imagined. LOL

$3.29 for Diesel here in Podunk. Will check out gas price later when I go to the grocery store. Will try to get a price on E-0 Premium as well, it will make boaters cry. I’ve bought it for as little as $3.49 but that was a while back.

Paid $2.61 last fill up at Sam's Club in Las Cruces.

paid 3.29 at the costco in Bend two days ago. Interesting that Gas is cheaper in Central Oregon then the Valley.

Here in WA, the total gas tax is $1.20/gallon.

Only 18.4 cents/gallon are federal taxes.

The rest are state excise taxes (55.4 cents/gallon) and our lovely new "Carbon Tax" that which is supposed to double by 2030.

@xplorz

It will only double if we are lucky

Yes but in states like Texas with much lower gas taxes the property tax rate is more than double that of Washington so nit picking one tax is pointless as they just tax you somewhere else. A $400,000 home in Texas has twice the property taxes as a $400,000 home in Clark county.

Prices at the racks have remand pretty flat, over the last 3 months. Oil prices have came down a little but its peak driving season so demand is up keeping prices flat. Fuel is about 35 cents more out of the rack in WA than OR before tax. Branded (top tier) gas is anywhere from 10-20 cents more than unbranded discounted gas coming out of grocery stores and off brand stations. After taxes, freight and credit card fees if you are finding branded gas in OR for less than 3.80 you did good.

socialism has a price

It definitely pays to get a gas app on your phone and shop around a bit. You can save like .50/gal by just driving down the road a bit. I use Gas Buddy. It shows the high and low price around you and gives directions. When you run thru a lot of gas fishing and towing the boat around, it can add up to some serious savings.
How much tax is embedded in? I just love spending money for their fabulous programs...

And the folks to the west of Portland in Columbia County (Scappoose/St Helens) point to Portland and ask why their gasoline is cheaper than Columbia Co.?

Seriously. Gas at the Fred Meyer in Scappoose, just 30 miles from the terminals, was $4.01 for a gallon of regular and $4.53 a gallon for diesel on Sunday afternoon. In Newport Sunday morning (130 miles from the terminal), it was $3.57 and $4.29.

The voters keep screwing themselves. Lol.

There appears to be no control over what a dealer can charge for their product. Would like to see the receipt for the fuel when the tank wagon drops off a load.

What programs are those?

I believe the Oregon constitution requires gas tax go to road improvements / maintenance.

 

[DogZilla15]

Check prices here in Podunk.

Reg. $2.86 on the card, ten cents off for cash. E-0, $3.46 on the card, ten cents off for cash.

I'm getting tired of it too. Costco Hillsboro price almost matched to Safeway. Since Oregon gets all of it's gas from Washington, my theory is Washington is sticking it to us.

Then I look at Costco Albany & Eugene and they are 50 cents cheaper than us. Newport has cheaper gas than us. Make it make sense.

Yep, you're paying a carbon tax and also it matters what company delivers the fuel. Small fuel truckers get their fuel $0.60 cheaper than a major hauler. So, if your fuel is coming from Cherry Point Washington and the station is using a major fuel hauler you get nicked with the carbon tax plus the $0.60 surcharge. Oh yeah if your buying fuel in Washington the gas tax also went up. Washington States out of control spending has never been higher and yet our roads are in horrible repair, i.e. hwy 101 between the Megler bridge and the tunnel. Try that stretch with any kind of trailer. WSDOT keeps pouring money into light rail and metro projects. I'm surprised we are not yet anyway providing free shuttle service for the homeless camps so they can access restrooms and showers.

Compare a $400,000 property in Texas with a $400,000 property in Clark County. Im guessing you will get a lot more for your money in Texas.

Filled up my company car this morning at a Chevron.

No clue what the cost was but I can go 520 miles until my next fill up.
