Gas Prices

[frequentflier]

$4.25 at Lusby Giant yesterday. Fortunately I had $.30 a gallon off since I have been buying their expensive groceries. Still $3.95 a gallon

Lawmakers can’t guarantee benefits of Maryland gas tax holiday plan

Gov. Hogan believes gas station owners may pocket their savings instead of lowering prices enough for consumers. Some feel that 30 days is not enough time to level prices.

30 days is a joke anyway. Originally the call from Franchot was a 3 month suspension of the tax which sounds good until you look a little deeper. 3 months would be April-June with the tax resuming on July 1, just in time for the MD law mandated gas tax increase.

$4.05 at Edwards in Dahlgren this morning, and I could have sworn the Sheetz on the corner of Rt 3/301 was $3.75.

Mostly $4.05 to $4.15 in VA, sub-$4 in Tennessee.

Prices ranged widely on my travels. The past few days, prices dropped a couple of cents each day in Bentonville, AR, I paid $3.41 on Friday. Almost as soon as I got outside NorthWest Arkansas, prices jumped to $4.09, then ranged from $3.79 to $4.10. Surprisingly, prices here in Lex Park/California were lower than most of Tennessee and Virginia, which is not the norm that I've seen in past trips.

I would suggest going to your local hardware store by April 16th and buying some Stabil and gas cans and then fill with enough gas to get you thru grass cutting/hurricane season this year....

Franchot is trying to get the Legislature to extend the holiday to 90-days. He says with the +$7B surplus, we can afford it. I'll be very surprised if the Legislature bites.

I'll add to this. If you buy regular pump gas with ethanol, make sure you have the caps on the cans tight. It would suck to lose your stash to phase separation if/when the binder evaporates and the fuel separates from the moonshine.
