Math/Stats/Data

This page is filled with great information on the math behind gasoline prices, the stats of hikes, days they are most likely to occur, and the data behind why prices rise and fall. This information is about as raw as it gets, meaning it is hard to understand for some who haven’t looked at it [...]

Hard to be a prophet during hurricane season

Comment on the August 25 prediction:  Prices did drop into the $3.70’s from $3.89, but not significantly due to the hurricanes.  To be fair, I’ll label that prediction WRONG.
September 9, 2008, 7:15 AM:  With the fall semester up-and-running at GVSU, I am planning on posting each Tuesday morning this semester.  Using NYMEX alone, the 0-cent [...]

Wednesday, August 20, 2008, 4:30 PM:  AXXIS prices have gone down 12 cents since the last price hike, but NYMEX prices have gone up.

Patrick is right: looks like a price hike on Friday

Comment on the June 18 prediction:  Prices rose to $4.15 last Thursday, as predicted.  CORRECT.
Thursday, June 26, 2008, 3:15 PM:  Because it seems like retailers’ margins are tight, or there is some sort of Chicago Summer Discount going on that isn’t reflected in the AXXIS prices, I’ve been trying to keep my tank close to [...]
