Gas prices?

[olbriar]

The price of gas here has taken a sudden jump. Today it is $2.99 for regular where I always buy my gas.

^^^Certainly no surprise, unfortunately. It's over $5 most places around here.

Yeah, I was a bit shocked to see Premium at $3.45 at Costco! Heck, Regular was $2.85

I run premium in my mowers. It's less hassle than burning regular with an additive. I can hardly wait until I'm burning up that high dollar gas... oh boy!

I filled up the car right after them bombing started, the next week prices were 50¢ a gallon higher !

BBS, (the Harley) runs on premium, guess I will not be riding too much until this is over.

I filled up my truck Wednesday at $3.39 for regular.

I filled up my wife's Jeep Tuesday. Gas was still at $3.39. I filled up my truck Wednesday with $3.59 gas. Same place... same gas...

Try PREMIUM! Heck, I paid $4.29 a gallon and that was at Costco!

I run premium in my mowers. I thought it was a sales tactic years ago when the manufactures started requiring an additive or burning premium in my commercial mowers. I had a Walker mower that fuel problems almost the entire time I owned it. I burned regular through it and when I moved on from that mower, I also moved on to burning premium gas. I've not had a fuel related problem with the three mowers I now use. Before the recent price jump, I filled up my Grasshopper to the tune of over $25.
My Toro will need gas the first of the week and the Grasshopper toward the end of next week. I just can't wait.
