Surge in National markets makes spike loom near

I meant to post this last night, but I got called away for diaper duty, and then bedtime. My apologies. There was no DOE report yesterday because of the Columbus Day holiday. So will Speedway treat today as a Thursday or a Wednesday? If it is a Wednesday, they may wait for the DOE report [...]

A spike on the horizon?

Chicago spot gasoline: Chicago Spot: $1.78 UP 0.0978 Costs and taxes adjustment: 0.7772 Fair Price: 2.4082 Average Michigan selling price 2.3820 Margin over cost + profit: -0.0262 USA Average: $2.479 Michigan average ( $2.382 ) is $0.097 under USA average A spike is looming, with a negative margin in my fair price formula. It’s quite [...]

Margins have dried up to almost nothing/negative numbers. If you are needing gas, I’d [...]

Gas prices to go up over weekend/early next week

In Indiana that is more than 6 cents, and that’s [...]

In total agreement with Ed.
