So Mr. BC, if you paid for a 15 gallon fill up in Lee Vining it would have cost you an additional $45. No commentary, just showing off my basic math skills that I did in my head. :)

Ski - You may have mixed up BCs post with my post about my recent 42 gallon purchase. Maybe I mixed things up!?

I believe we agree.................

For Mr. BC in Virginia 15 gallons @ $2.29 = $34.35

 

If Mr. BC had filled up in Lee Vining 15 gallons @ $5.29 = $79.35

 

$79.35 - $34.35 = $45.00

 

or quickly, the $3.00 difference x 15 = 45

 

Your math matches mine, I believe, but I'd have to fetch a calculator to confirm. :)

3.39 up in Washington. Does anybody else notice that the first gas station at the end of the off ramp is 15 cents more per gallon than the others?

$3.25 Beatty, NV where the well advertised wind hit last night. Past 2 days it was about $3.70 Battle Mountain and Tonopah. Heading to DVNP tomorrow with full gas cans and maybe wont need to get gas there where it is much higher.

$3.00 at Hillsboro Oregon Costco Friday..

Our gas costs the same or more than California because it is refined in Cali. or Wash. However, selling price differences are determined by state and local taxes.
