Speedway- what’s up?

Oh, Speedway, my friend, my buddy, my pal, what are you up to? Yesterday’s breakout to $3.09 was the fourth price hike in a week, but this one seems suspect. Did you panic when you read yesterday morning’s report from the Department of Energy? NYMEX traders didn’t, and prices there ended the [...]

I’m back!

GrandRapidsGasBuddy Peg let me know this morning that gas has hiked to 3.09 at local Speedway stations.

Get gas before everyone goes to 2.95!
Enjoy the weekend

First day of summer!

Good morning, and welcome to the first day of summer. It appears that wholesale prices have been pretty constant the past several days, and we are dipping down towards the 0-cent margin price, so a price hike should be in the works for today or tomorrow. Using the HU/RB average to estimate the [...]
