Lower Gas prices

[eupher61]

KC area, at least the MO side, is under $2.80 KS side about $2.85 or so. As of last night.

btw, www.{yourstatename}gasprices.com is an extremely helpful site.

The cheapest gas in my area of Los Angeles (north San Fernando Valley) is about $3.40....not too bad for Southern California. I paid over $5/gal in Oceanside, CA in May. And to think, I'm only 21 but I remember seeing gas for $0.85/gal in Albuquerque, NM about 10 years ago while I was living there.

In my neck of Cincinnati area it is going at $2.97

of COURSE you'd get the appropriate licenses for that, correct, Bill??

"Bill" not withstanding...why would you need a license to buy a large quantity of a perfectly legal product and store it on your private property? Hmmmm???

Assuming a rural location, investigation/research/practice as to safety/stability, and other factors, would it be that unwise to fill up three or four 55 gallon drums full of gas at low-end prices, and drawing from those drums during hurricane season each year? Obviously, if no devastating hurricane(s), these would be drawn down and refreshed at similar low prices.

I'm thinking that plastic 55 gal. drums in the ground (again, addressing stability issues somehow) might be the best way to store...??

Dang! You're in Mentor? I just passed through there on my way to Bar Harbor, Maine on October 1st. I had my slant-rotor with me. We could have introduced our Marzans to each other.

Saw a 2.98 in Kansas this weekend, know I saw something else lower at a truck stop but I can't remember what exactly. Haven't checked here at home yet.

I'm still in Euclid, but it's just down the road (I would guess you passed through here as well)

quick thoughts on bloke's idea of filling a few drums of gas to keep on hand.

1) steel drums are better, gas is a solvent for many types of plastic drums.
2) there are regulations about storing more than certain volumes of gas, as it is quite hazardous in large quantities.
3) modern gas doesn't store that well, anything over a month with retail forumlations (cleaners etc.) and it will gum up the engine and cut into the performance substantially.

Bill?

I have missed something again, obviously…

Since it sounded as if the intention was to buy a sizeable quantity of gasoline and store it, I figured a false name would be appropriate.

Maybe some states differ, but in these here parts, a license is needed to store any sort of fuel, and it's subject to inspections and other sorts of regulation.

Don't act so surprised, it had to happen sooner or later.

$2.46 on the KS side of KC...which means right about $2.40 or a bit less on the MO side.
