WOW - $1.85?! That's crazy; I paid $2.32 at BP (Chicago - NW Side) to fill my tC with 87 last night. I was happy, 10g for $23.50, not too shabby…or so I thought. Apparently we Chicagoens are still over paying. The cheapest I’ve seen gas for is $2.17 at a Citgo however, that was only if you got the car wash. It was $2.29 otherwise.
What I want to know is why gas is still relatively expensive here in Chicago when gasoline futures are only $1.46/g on the NYMEX. At that price, and after all pre-pump markups are added on (about 60-70 cents on average in major markets), gas should max around $2.16/g. There’s a Shell near my Downtown apartment that still has 87 for $2.79! That’s nearly double what a raw gallon of gasoline is worth!
Sorry for the rant
, I normally don’t do this. I just feel like I’m caught in a big game that I cannot win. Hopefully we will get some price stabilization this winter and have that carry on for a few years to come. Take care.
