In general, the closer you get to the University, the higher the price.

It is also a convivence factor. The circle K at H6 and rock prairie is always 2 to 4 cents higher than the one on 29th street.

I paid $2.52 at the Exxon on the corner of WJB and Hwy 6 a couple days ago. I noticed that the Mobil and TXB near the Bryan Post Office were the same price.

Dunno what Kroger is charging, but they may have prices effecting nearby outlets.

This has always been the case, or as far back as I can remember.

I could be wrong but it seems inflation and CPI adjusted isn't it remarkably cheap af any of those prices? I've been paying for gas since 1986 and it just seems like it to me.

I mean in the late 2000's wasn't like $4 for a bit??

---

Try 2022

Totally but in 2010 or whenever it was $4 had way more impactful optics than in 2022. The larger point being that it seems like sub $3 is not worthy of mention be it $2.25 or $2.45

In 1970 it was about 30cents a gallon. Of course I only made $1/hour.

I paid 2.39 at Costco two days ago. Top tier gas

Just like Sam's, you pay, to pay 2.39 at Costco....and their location is impractical, for many B-CS and area shoppers.
Just bought gas today, at the CS Walmart, $2.45/gal.. I cannot discern any difference in performance, versus buying Exxon gas.

Because it could be the same fuel from the same depot and possibly the same additives. When I worked in the East Texas oil field back in college summer days, I watched Exxon, Texaco, Shell trucks and many other branded tanker trucks arrive and fill their trucks up from the same storage tanks. They may have adjusted something to have different additives, but the basis gasoline was the same,

" Yes, major gasoline distributors and stations typically get their fuel from the same location, such as a bulk storage and distribution terminal or pipeline "rack". The primary difference between brands is the proprietary engine performance additives they add to the fuel before delivery, not a different base fuel. "

Also if you go west of South College, all stations will be around $2.89. Has been this way for 15 plus years.

Speaking of the 29th store , every Monday morning the gas will be raised to like 2.79/2.89 and then falls from that morning the rest of the week.
I thought I was crazy at first but they do it pretty consistently.

In the past I was told most of it comes from the one at Hearne from 2 different convenience store owners. Not sure about Walmart,Sam's and Costco.

That station has always been reasonable for as long as I can remember. The university one just likes all the mom and dad's credit cards and charges a location premium

$2.49 yesterday at the 29th Valero/circle K

And just like clockwork $2.99 for the Monday morning buyers

I noticed something similar. The 7-11 near me (Greens Prairie and Arrington Rd) was $2.47 Sunday morning. On Monday afternoon it had increased to $2.59. Is this due to students returning? Holiday weekend coming up? First TAMU football game?

I haven't checked out other prices around town. Wasn't sure if this trend is BCS wide or not.

We get gas at Costco with their credit card, and nothing else. We put everything on that card.

The big rebate in February is nice.

I do that but with my SWA card and get points, We take two vacations a year on the points....next month a week in New England and in March a week in the Caribbean,

I put everything on the card,,,everything,

Crude oil closed today, under $64/barrel... yet several stations have recently increased their pump prices.
Students and a home A&M football game...

Gas prices are up nationwide. Down compared to one year ago, but up from the last few weeks. There may be a local effect here of course but the things that cause price fluctuations are varied indeed.

Valero on 29th was $2.49 Sunday
Was $2.99 on Monday
Was $2.45 today

Nationwide, Monday is the most expensive day to buy gas and Thursday, the cheapest. I have no idea why, I just read about it.

To punish lazy people that didn't fill up on the weekend?

I'm sure supply and demand has something to do with it.

The demand of people that panic and have to fill up on the way to work on Monday mornings.
