Yes, we just asked this question a few weeks ago — and we’re going to ask it again every few weeks until things in the Middle East calm down.
That’s because what’s happening in Iran has been causing the price of oil to whiplash. It was up, it was down, it’s up a bit but not over $100…so on and so forth. And news reports out of Iran seem to indicate that despite efforts by both Iran and the U.S. to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, some ships are still getting through, though they may be paying a toll.
Of course, prices could slip for a different, more troubling reason.
So, I am asking you, what did you pay for a fill-up this week? Keep the politics out of it, I just want to know what it’s like on the ground around the country, especially since different markets tend to have different average prices even when oil is flowing freely. That’s because taxes and fuel formulations are region-specific.
Anyway, tell us what you’re paying per gallon. Sound off below.
