After a brief respite from high prices and traffic jams (thanks COVID!) prices back in the 2.13 per gallon range for 87 octane.

But I buy midgrade now at a minimum. Turbos just love high octane.

I forgot you're in Florida.

I still have a house in Fort Lauderdale, but I'm living in Texas right now. How to make it back one day... miss South Florida.

... definitely don't miss the traffic though.

New year, New administration. Any guesses where we are headed now two days in?

Retail prices will stay relatively low thru the summer would be my guess.
Probably take that long to get rid of any glut and enact any increased federal tax schemes on refined fuels.

Here's where the US average retail pric stands just before inauguration day.

Sometime around the middle of hurricane season would be my honest guess, tho it depends how well one is hedged against higher energy prices.

...and here it comes. As high as $2.60 for regular (Unless you live in Jupiter FL because every other car is an exotic) and pushing $3 for premium(s).

We're going back to the Bush/Obama economies and I don't think 'quantitative easing' - even with Janet Yellin back in DC - is going to save us.

I filled up in Gatesville Tx this morning for $2.03/gal.

$2.56/gal here in WPB for regular. Let's see how long it stays under $3. Meanwhile I've found E30 (94 octane) at a local Sunoco that mixes well with Sam's Club premium (usually twelve cents-ish above everyone else 's regular) that hasn't impacted my MPG's significantly but is ten percent cheaper.
