Gas Prices On the Road

One disappointment I've had with retirement is how little I've been able to be on the road, thanks to the good old GRBs at Big Oil.

We're on the road right now in Richmond, Indiana.

I've kept an eye on gas prices today as we traveled. Gas in Fox lake was at $4 and the Citgo in Spring grove was $4.10.

Prices along Illinois-47 were $4 to $4.10 generally, with one BP station in Yorkville at the highest i saw, $4.20. Morris generally has the cheapest on 47 and ranged from $3.86 to $3.90.

Mohamet, near Champaign, was $3.80. Indiana west of Indianapolis was a low of $3.68 at Crawfordsville and $3,80 closer to Indy.

We heard on the radio that oil spiked $15 today. By the time we got to Richmond, gas was $4. I don't know what it was this morning, but I'd bet it was around $3.80. It sure doesn't take the GRBs long to hike that price up. But just let it drop $15 and that takes weeks to go down at the pump.

Just Love Those GRB Big Oil Companies. --RoadDog
