DOE Report!

Last week brought an unexpected jump in gasoline stockpiles! Analysts were predicting a drop of 400,000 barrels while a jump of 1.3 million barrels actually occurred. Demand is flat over last year as prices remain high.
We may see oil continue to climb as we saw another drop in crude oil inventories. However, we’re still in [...]

Another price hike expected on Monday

Comment on Tuesday’s prediction:  Good plan!  Prices hiked to $2.99 Thursday morning, so the prediction was CORRECT.
Friday, October 26, 4:30 PM:  Yow — wholesale prices have ramped up the past three days, so it looks like another hike to $3.09 on Monday!

Ed’s strategy for Tuesday

I’ll be filling up at Costco ASAP.

Comment on my 10/2 prediction:  Well, there was a price hike last week, but it went to $2.89, so the prediction was WRONG.  There was another price hike on October 11 to $2.95.
Friday, October 12, 4:30 PM:  A combination of business at work and what I thought were benign wholesale gasoline numbers led to no [...]
