Dropped to $1.89 the other day at my usual station in Hickory, NC.  I expect it will drop another couple of pennies in the next day or so.

Jumped 15 cents or so overnight.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

There was apparently a relatively minor issue at a refinery somewhere in the country, and the panicky investor monekys started flinging poo.

Saw 1.90 for E-10 87 octane near my house.

Filled up the work car at the company pump for $1.11 for E-85. Of course that is the non Fed/Iowa road tax price.

I paid $1.92 on Wednesday, drove past the same place yesterday and it $2.09.

Paid $1.75 in Momence yesterday.  Saw in the news that WTI is below $35bbl.  And with sanctions coming off Iran in January, most expect it to go below $30bbl, as Iran increases production.

WTI is above $36 right now, with a day gain of $1.01 a barrel at the moment. But it's been quite volatile, so that might not last. Or, it might skyrocket.

Seemingly innocuous bits of news are causing monkey madness on the commodities markets.

The one I'm particularly happy about is heating oil. It's at $1.14 and change a gallon right now on the futures market. It was in the lower half of $1.09 a gallon earlier. If this warm winter weather holds out in the North East (largest market by far) it should continue its downward trend very nicely.

Hard to believe but it is 1.68 the last time I rode by the Claypool Hill VA Walmart.  Several places in the low 1.70 range.

It's really pissing me off that it's still so much more expensive in Northern Virginia.

This afternoon at a Murphy gas station in north TX, using a Walmart credit card (to get the $0.05/gal discount), I paid $1.57 for 87 octane.

Which is why, according to OPM, I'm not getting a COLA for 2016.

I drove by a place in Lebanon TN that had regular listed at $1.64. The cheapest I've personally paid so far is $1.69 in Smyrna TN.

We paid around an average of 1.95 from Mich to SW Florida.  Now we're in KW.  $2.35 a gal.

I paid $1.59 today at Pilot in Lebanon TN. Saw the same price at other station in Murfreesboro.  Most places around here it's running $1.63-$1.72ish.

During the price hikes of a few years ago, prices on consumer goods and food rose. Will they fall again, or are they too sticky?

Grain prices are down too, making some farmers a bit nervous.

If other commodity prices are any indication, no.  Copper prices are now down by what, 40% from their last peak?  Finished copper containing goods like wire haven't budged.  I keep looking at SEU for installing a new meter base at the house, plus Cat6 cable for some network stuff.  SEU actually increased over the last few months while commodity copper moved down significantly.

The primary reason why wire prices haven't budged yet is because housing starts have been pretty steadily picking up, so there's not been a tremendous slackening of demand.

When something is based on a traded commodity -- copper is used to make pipe, wire, etc. -- those products don't fall in price nearly as quickly as when both the base product AND the finished product -- crude oil and gasoline -- are both market traded commodities.

If input prices would drop it wouldn't be so bad.

Gas dropped to $1.79 on Saturday at our usual stations in Hickory, NC.  IIRC, that is a dime a gallon lower than last year's price dip.

Gas prices are all over the board around here.  While out and about they ranged from $1.97 (1.77 with car wash) to $2.27.   If there's still a $.20 difference then I might just get a car wash when I fill up.  Espscially since they have been salting the roads around here.


And then I came across this.*  Which will probably send gas prices every which way again.  Up - due to more ME "tensions".   And Down - due to SA and Iran trying to undercut each other on oil prices.
