Super User Fishing Rhino Posted May 24, 2015 Super User Posted May 24, 2015 $2.56 per gallon at BJ's Wholesale Club in Dartmouth, MA. Ten cents less if you charge it to your BJ's credit card. My guess would be that the cheapest gas can be found at the Pilot service center in Troutville, VA. It's where we always stop when on our way to our daughter's home in GA, or on a road trip with my boat in tow. A check on their web site shows regular at 2.35 per gallon. 1 Quote

Super User retiredbosn Posted May 27, 2015 Super User Posted May 27, 2015 This is such a sore subject with me, current crude prices are $57.63/barrel. I'm 46 all off my adult life when reporting on gas prices the media always referred to the cost/barrel as the MAIN factor affecting cost/gallon at the pump. Now to justify the high cost/gallon the media blames the futures market, refinery shutdowns etc. The fact is that consumers are getting shafted by the oil companies (Exxon, British Petroleum, Citgo, etc). Of course there are factors like the futures market, refinery problems, etc., but the main factor affecting what we pay is the price/barrel. The oil companies are continually reporting record profits, why? Because the market can support the additional costs, we as the purchasing market are just plain stupid enough to pay it. The reality is if we would demand a fair price, the cost/gallon would drop significantly. The current price/barrel should have a cost/gallon around $1.50. Gas hit $2/gallon when the cost per barrel went above $100, but now the low $2's/gallon seems great. I just wish America's populace would wake up. Quote
