The Speedway Effect, Cincy style

Recently there was an article and news story on WCPO in Cincinnati about Speedway. In it they said a lot of things TheGasGame readers would already know, plus something I found interesting at first, and one outright falsehood. They come right out of the gate letting us know Speedway’s secret: Real estate. “We wanted to [...]

Gas, Oil on the up and up (and up, and up…)

Chicago Spot: $2.03 UP 0.0079 Fair price adjustment: 0.7914 Michigan Fair Price: 2.6792 Michigan Average selling price 2.5970 Margin over cost + profit: -0.0822 The dam has gotta break sometime.

Last week, PVM Oil Associates employee Steve Perkins lost $10 millon in a day playing the “electronic oil casino”. This week, the [...]

Spike possible tomorrow

If you haven’t already, do look at the previous post Ed put out about gouging in Michigan. These are good reads for those interested in the oil industry, too. Now, on to business. With a spike up in everything oil/gas/diesel, we are very ripe for a spike tomorrow. I’m putting it at about 65% possible. [...]
