I figured the low price earlier was due to November elections and am surprised to see even lower prices now. Are they finishing every last drop of U.S. oil reserves ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307322303758388123.post-31580291531773568372022-12-11T20:17:49.472-08:002022-12-11T20:17:49.472-08:00We have that out here also.

It also has less energy per volume. Summer gas might have 1% butane. Winter gas ten times that amount.<br /><br />The pricing at the pump may be related to whether they received their first load of "winter gas" or are still dispensing "summer gas".<br /><br />Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.com
