Why did gas prices just drop 10 cents?

**Thaco** · 10-23-2018, 04:07 PM

Just noticed yesterday gas was $1.139 yesterday and its $1.039 today... I have to assume there was some sort of political reason for this? any ideas?

world price of oil went down ~5% today.

The Saudi stuff? Refineries were down and now back up production has resumed? Because race car?

Any time I see a small price drop, it stays like that for a day and then triples in price again. The yo-yo to mess with consumers. Its sad when I was like "wow!!! 1.19?!?! thats cheap!"

The correct answer is in this old thread.

yeah but i cant remember the last time i saw a 10 cent drop, normally it just fucks around 1-2 cents here and there and BAM, 20 cent jump

It was only a 10c drop in some areas. Around my 'hood it's been dropping steadily for almost a week.

Canyon Meadows Husky was 1.04 on Sunday for a few hours but they shut one pump down and the line up was stupid.

**dirtsniffer** · 10-23-2018, 05:12 PM

Consistently the cheapest gas around.

People lining up for gasoline always makes me laugh. I can somewhat understand if you are driving a full size pickup truck but it you drive a regular car or CUV/SUV it's time in your life you are never getting back for $5 or less.

Some people value their time less than $5 so who are you to judge?

If a douchebag is worth $0 to society, technically the time he spends in his personal time waiting for gas is worth it.

My favorites are the people who drive across the city to get 10c cheaper gas. You just spent $3, to save $4. I suppose it's a win, but still...

That's basically all Costco gas bar users.

Yea it starts to make sense if there is a 10-20% savings.... so on a 100$ fill you could be saving 20$. But I recall seeing people in Vancouver line up a block to save 2c when across the street the station was empty of traffic. Thats when its dumb.

In Edmonton, Costco consistently isn't even that much cheaper, if cheaper at all. Lucky for me, gas stations up here must know I'm a cheapass because the area where I work usually has the lowest prices across the city

Is gasoline really any more expensive today than it was 10 years ago when you take into account inflation over that period?
