Filled up my gas truck yesterday for $2.64/gal. Road diesel is around $2.79/gal. Here's a pic I took a couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen diesel cheaper than gas in a long time, but that didn't last long...
I read there I usually a 2-3 month lag on oil vs gas prices. Not sure thoughGas prices here have not moved a penny. Barrel of oil running ~$61. What gives!

I've seen this before. When crude prices are high, they jack up gas prices instantly, and say it's Supply & Demand.This is one flaw in all markets, not just gasoline. Prices fall slower than they rise.
As for gasoline, its all on the retailers. They have no incentive to voluntarily lower their price until they begin to see a drop in sales.
And the blame goes to consumers who mostly don't price shop. They just go to the same station to get gas that they always do and don't pay a lot of attention to prices.
Price shopping would reward stations who are first to lower their price with higher sales and provide incentive for other stations to follow.
This happens in everything.

When crude prices are low, they say the cheaper gas hasn't made it's way to them yet, and still keep the prices high.
Like you, we only run Shell Premium in both of our cars (Audi's) an RS7P and an RS6 Avant. Filled them both yesterday @ $4.89/gallon.I use premium in our Mustang, and only use Shell. I filled up yesterday & it was below $4 a gallon. First time in a while it has been that low.

No idea what fuel costs around here... I buy most of my fuel 7 miles away at a cardtrol station. Keep forgetting to look at prices when I drive through that town. But I do know E doesn't stand for enough! When ya need fuel you need it.I noticed that the other day and just didn't get involved. Until now.
I can get ethanol free at a couple of stations in town. No need to go racing or to the airport. Still very pricey, but less than race or airportRun a couple tanks of ethanol free racing gas through it...you'll be surprised how much better it runs but you'll also be broke!
Adding Sta-Bil 360 to each fill up isn't a bad idea and a lot cheaper than buying racing gas.
It really depends on your retailer.I read there I usually a 2-3 month lag on oil vs gas prices. Not sure though
Right . If they still have gas / fuel in the ground that cost them more than the new price drop , they still need to sell that load for the original profit based on price paid .Here (NW MN) they hold prices based on last tanker fill. If prices go up they lag behind a few days until the next tanker.
