Averaging $4 a gallon here.
A set of good mountain bike tires will cost me a fill up (~$70) and last me a little over a year. Thank you for a well planned out bike route. If they want to keep this shit up better be working on some work from home jobs. |

As gas prices continue to climb, some parts of the metro are starting to see some stations have surpassed – or are near – the $4 per gallon mark.
According to AAA, gas prices in Minnesota jumped about five cents on average overnight Thursday and into Friday. In just the last week, prices have gone up nearly 15 cents. GasBuddy said as of late Friday morning a Kwik Trip in Vadnais Heights, a Speedway in both Little Canada and West St. Paul, a BP in Richfield, a Minnoco in Rosemount, as well as a Casey’s in both North Branch and Waconia all had a price of $4.09 per gallon. Meanwhile, other gas stations had prices of $3.59 per gallon. In addition, GasBuddy says throughout the next several days, drivers will see prices spike anywhere from 50 cents to $1 per gallon. It adds a refinery outage may be to blame for the price increase, which may last until the change to winter gasoline, which happens later this month. The price at the pump went up as much as 40 cents in some spots in Minnesota, exceeding $4/gallon on Friday and those costs could continue to rise. Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, initially warned on Thursday of a spike anywhere from 50 cents to a dollar per gallon over the next couple of days in Midwest states. “The good news is that we can narrow that range down now to more like 35 to 65 cents,” he said in an interview on Friday morning. “What brought us here was just a big squeeze as we start to navigate the change back to cheaper winter gasoline. A lot of refineries are only producing winter gasoline now but the problem is, in the interim, that can lead to some squeezes here before the changeover happens. And that’s exactly what happened,” De Hann explained. “A couple of refineries went down, both for planned and unplanned maintenance. And that’s why we got a sudden squeeze.” It’s as simple as supply and demand, he said. “And a lot of people like to point fingers elsewhere, but it’s just the system we have,” De Haan said. “It’s not perfect, and it can cost you and I much more.” It’s hitting other businesses too, like local carpet installer William Stryker who was filling up at a Minneapolis pump for $4.19 on Friday. “My fuel’s doubled on a yearly basis,” Stryker said. “And not only that, now I have to raise the price on people’s carpet because I don’t have the money to put gas in our cars, and I have to have a van to move carpet.” “This is still a rare situation, it shouldn’t happen very often,” De Haan said. “But again, the outlook for refining is not good. These issues could become more frequent, as refineries start to exit the business and shut down ahead of the transition to EVs.”

Yes, crude is approaching $90/barrel and we've had some reduction in refining output. Add those together and this is what you get.

Oh, and:
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas and Missouri drivers should prepare for a steep price increase at the pump, experts say. Gas Buddy, which monitors gas prices around the United States, Canada and Australia, predicts gas prices in the Midwest will spike anywhere from 50 cents to $1 per gallon over the next several days. Experts fear gas prices could get worse before they get better There are few details on what’s leading to the increase, but Gas Buddy says a refinery outage could be to blame. Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said the price hike could be limited if the EPA switches to the winter blend of gasoline early. “The spike in gas prices may be relatively short-lived, but the situation remains volatile,” De Haan said in a news release. As of Thursday, wholesale gas prices in the Midwest were already up nearly $1 per gallon from one week ago, and AAA reports a gallon of gas is up 7 cents in Missouri and 3 cents in Kansas. See the latest and lowest gas prices in the Kansas City area But AAA did note on Thursday that the national average for a gallon of gas was down two cents since last week, falling to $3.80. Missouri remains one of the top 10 least expensive states with an average gas price of $3.55, as of Friday. Kansas isn’t far behind at $3.59 per gallon. Gas Buddy expects stations will start raising their prices significantly soon and advises drivers to fill up now before prices spike.

I drove from Rogers to Branson today. Gas was $3.89 in Rogers. Isaw a station on the way that was $3.39 and filled up there. It was still $3.39 when I came back through surprisingly.
