Oil prices have nothing to do with politics today or yesterday.... world market and the Virus are pretty much to blame along with OPEC.

Gas prices should stabilize post Covid. I paid less in 2020, paying more in 2021, averages out. Personally I have been RVing since 02 when 87 test was .95 per gallon, up to $4.50 per gallon in 2006. I have a Class C getting 8 mpg, people ask me all the time the fuel economy, not sure why. I tell them tent camping is also fun less fuel. ๐Ÿ™‚

On average, it costs about $5 per barrel to transport oil and gas by pipeline compared to $10-$15 a barrel for rail and $20 a barrel by truck
890,000 Barrels of oil are now being transported by rail or trucks DAILY that was transported by pipeline last year.

This is all changing quickly. The pipeline is now up and running. The problem now is getting it out to the stations by truck. Here in Florida, we getting our fuels via barges and pipeline from LA area, but are still affected by the hoarding like the toilet paper surge. I think the fact that the company paid off the Russian hackers is just an open invitation to do it again. By the way, have you gotten your extended warranty?

$2.829 at Sam's Club in Las Cruces today... Most others in the city are at or over $3.

I love my Sam's Plus membership when filling the 50 gallon tank on my C. Save up front, get 2% cash back at the end of the year. Think about it; that's about $2.50 back for every tank of fuel in the RV. I usually get several hundred back at the end of the year, which more than pays for the upgraded membership and a few Christmas gifts on the house.


Sorry I don't do Sam's never will BUT Costco and all stations you use on their card you get 4% for fuel. and that is even on their fuel which is normally cheaper than most others. I also auto charge most stuff on it like for electric, gas for home, med bills etc. This year cash back was %875.00 plus a Costco cash back of $185.00. Live / learn . 3% for travel and restaurants, 2% Costco, 1% for all others.

Current Price in Saskatoon, Sk is $1.279 Cdn per liter.

That is about $4.847 Cdn per US Gallon, or $3.78 Usd per US gallon. I expect it to hit $4.50 usd soon.
