Hahahaha I'm driving whichever vehicle has the most gas in the mornings .

Keith
 
Reg gas is $4.26 and diesel $5.59 here this morning
$3.99 and $4.69 here. I have a good friend who is a general contractor with his own business and drives a diesel truck. He says he fills up everyday regardless. That makes sense with how fast prices are rising.
 
For the first time I was looking at taking the Bus to work, but a buddy came in over an hour late today because everyone else in the area had the same thought!
 
Costco here in NY was $3.99/gal premium less than a week ago, today it is $4.44
 
Paid $5.60 for premium last week. Now $6.29. Gov. already said he will not suspend state tax but will offer relief. Won't hold my breath on that one! California, love the weather.

Glad the wife and I both work from home now.....although I did still put 27,000 miles on my car last year

Dollar cost averaging.... at the gas pumps. Makes sense.

Our prices are $3.80 Reg, $4.25 (91) octane Pure Gas (ethanol free), and $4.60 diesel. One impact for us is the City and State budget for diesel during the winter. These boys are on the prowl 16 to 24 hours a day.

We just came out of COVID restrictions and were thinking that more people, especially Civilians, wouldn't be Teleworking as much anymore. This will likely adjust that.
 
Looking for bulk tanks to buy in bulk now before it gets worse. Figure the cost of savings will offset the price of tanks.

I'm pretty sure the fuel distributors around here will set you up with the tanks

I am home permantly but I work for myself. The wife would quit (after 29 years) if they made her come back full time. I don't think they will go that route, her direct boss lives in CT and does not care about telecommuting. It would especially suck for her to have to go back to the NYC office as it is at least an hour and a half on the trains. They have also gone from 13 floors downtown NY to 6 and the office here on LI has only 2 people in it when it used to have well over a 100.

There is a lot of that going on. A few friends retired from military and got jobs at huge companies helping leading "office space" downsize planning and coordinating the push to Telework. Massive Office Buildings are now at 10-20%, saves the companies millions in rent, utilities, etc. I've gone to a few meetings and working groups at Office Buildings that rent space out by the hour or day now. The contract Companies don't own a building, they all work from home and if there is a thing that they all need to get together for, they just rent out a conference room for a morning or day. Pretty slick.
