Been a while since anyone has posted here but I had to share this. Drove back to Joliet, Ill. last week. Found reg gas for $2.98 per gallon in Missouri just outside of St. Louis. Same price a week later on the return trip
Jumped to $1.569 the other day...back at $1.319 a litre today...
£1.35 per litre here yesterday

Same here in Nottinghamshire.
To get the most amount of fuel for you £$ always buy fuel on a cold day as petrol contracts,
thus you get more fuel and hot days fuel expands so you get less fuel for your money.

Ian, true, gasoline wholesalers adjust the amount of gasoline sold according to a 60 degree Farenheit standard in thr USA. Thus Wholesaler A selling 10,000 gallons at 90 degrees F to Wholesaler B knows that gasoline expands 0.069% per degree F. Thus Wholesaler B PAYS for only 9793 gallons adjusted to thr 60 degree standard. There is no such adjustment for the customer. Thus pumping 20 gallons of 90 degree gasoline at $3.50 per gallon costs the station 19.59 gallons of 60 degree gasoline or the customer has paid $1.44 EXTRA to the station.
Note that the customer always gets the correct number of gallons but the DENSITY of that fuel changes.
It is also argued that the reverse is true on cold days so in the above senerio pumping those same 20 galons on a 30 degree F day costs the station the $1.44
Also note that stations store gasoline in tanks 15 to 20 feet underground where the temp is generally a constant 55 degrees F. You can feel this during the summer as you fuel your car. As the fuel flows, you can feel the hose cool.
All in all, the technology exists to adjust for all these variables at the pump. Canada has done this since the 1970s, Hawaii uses an 80 degree standard and Minnesota prohibits any temp adjustments at any point in the sale

filled up at $1.31 this afternoon then it went up to $1.49!
Gas is hard to get here. I'm luckier than most though because work provides me gas free of charge during this emergency, so I got that going for me.

Price has dropped to $2.80 per gallon 87 octane and been holding there for about two weeks now. Walmart and Citgo offer another $0.03 discount if you use their gas cards so $2.77 with a gas card
