$1.85, Metro Boston.

Pretty sure my oil bill won’t go down, sad.

I mean, if someone’s looking for a place to store oil, my tank is a great start...

Off the subject but I always wondered if you can burn used crankcase oil in your oil furnace. Here in the Midwest we mostly burn natural gas. Some guys have used engine oil furnaces in their garages.

I have an 04 vehicle with 82000. I just fill it when it needs gas.

When I get around to it, I'm gonna trade my oil tank for a natural gas situation.

I have a gas stove, etc.

Natural gas is coming into my house.

Take the oil tank out, replace the oil burner, make my plumber happy, piss off my oil company.

Put in a porcelain office style urinal, and an overhead shower...

I may never leave the basement again.

Are these states laying off? No tax revenue is coming in including gas taxes.

Yes. My state DOT is laying off.

Check with your natural gas supplier to see if they offer any rebates for converting your hot water tank and kitchen appliances to gas.

Always wanted to put a urinal in my garage. Now I just pee in the garden.

$2.85 Circle K

 

[browndevil]

We live in a resort town near Lake Tahoe and every gas station in town is $3.49 as of 4/22/2020

Went to Costco 2 days ago about 40 miles away and paid $1.85.

Saw that is it 0.87 a gallon in Detroit. Last time I paid that was in the 70's.

$2.15 is the lowest I've seen in the Bay Area...so far

$2.15 is the lowest I've seen in the Bay Area...so far

local businesses are claiming that high rents, high fees, high cost of doing business in California is the reason for higher gas prices in Cali.

I get that but the cost of living in the Bay area is much higher ( overall ) than around here. $3.49 here and $2.15 in Bay ??? something fishy.

We have 4-5 gas stations in our town and every one has the same price . kind of curious.

Tahoe area generally has higher prices than the Bay Area. Are you near the Safeway on 267?

thats because your mouth is like 7/11

90 cents a litre. roughly half of what it was in a year or so.

 

[BadIdeaGuy]

90 cents a litre. roughly half of what it was in a year or so.

Way too much math.

First off, litres are dumb.
1 litre is roughly a quarter gallon.

So the price for us 'Mericans comes out to C$3.40 per gallon.
BUT.

Canadian dollars are also dumb.
Converted to our money, Ricky is paying roughly $2.41 per gallon.

No . not Kings Beach. Over off 80 in little town about 30-35 miles west of Reno. We do 95% of our shopping in Reno or Sparks.
