Junkie, its hard to trust the process when you were told that Iran's military was 100% obliterated 3 days after the war started, and then for the last 3 months that a deal was imminent. I'm reading reports that Iran may still have up to 70% of their missiles, and we are going broke shooting $1500 dollar drones down with $1M dollar missiles. Regardless they still have enough military might to control the Strait. So something isn't adding up.
Junkie, your data is from January before the Iran war started.
Kiplinger 4 days ago: The national average price of regular unleaded is off its peak from earlier this spring of about $4.50 per gallon. Today, the national average stands at $4.22. Drivers are not complaining about the decrease. But the national average remains more than $1 per gallon higher than at this time a year ago. In general, prices starting with a 4 tend to feel high for American consumers, and often lead them to cut back their spending on other goods or services, since it’s difficult to drive less on short notice. We expect gas prices to keep easing, and perhaps slip a bit below the $4 threshold this summer, but probably not by much. And if oil prices start climbing again due to continuing disruptions to exports in the Middle East, gas could quickly shoot up again. Diesel, now averaging $5.38 per gallon, is also coming down, but like gas, remains well above last year’s prices.
Yahoo Finance 1 day ago: Gas prices have fallen for four straight weeks, but uncertainty persists amid the Strait of Hormuz closure and tightening global oil supplies. Average gas prices declined in almost every state over the past week, though relief could be short-lived as oil reacts to Middle East tensions, according to a GasBuddy forecast. GasBuddy’s forecast says drivers could see the most expensive summer in years as long as the strait remains closed. “Americans are going to pay billions more to get where they’re going this summer, and even after the Strait reopens, it could take a year or more for prices to fully recover,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “This is the most volatile summer at the pump in years.”

Prices have been increasing since the day the dollar replaced gold. It's called inflation.
Some analysts are already forecasting lowest gas prices since 2020 for this year.
I just look forward to everyone having a hernia over a few extra dollars at the pump, to thank POTUS for reducing the cost when all is said and done. Since it's his fault right? Trust the process.
Hugh - I don't think I've seen a single person say a negative word about Wiscoarborist in my short time here, maybe you're better off to the 'outdoorsman forums' on facebook.

It is what we have now. Blame who you want for it, but plan for prices increasing. Argue about it, but plan for it. Wiscoarborist, haven't been here long but you seem to complain a lot. Sure you have every right. You are running a business that is affected by all of this. Is this an outdoors forum? Just curious.
Fuel costs came up over the weekend. I pointed out that the price has been dropping.
"Ya, but you're gonna be payin' over &$7/gal for diesel by summer!"
Why? Did this guy have some inside track on the future?. Did he have some intelligent comment to make regarding policies, or trends or anything? No. He just said the name of our POTUS. That - presumably - should be enough.
This was in front of a bunch of people....Why do people do that?...We get it - you don't like the president. But independent of that...It still sounds stupid....Nobody engaged him further. Not because he had the last, definitive word, but because it's not worth the trouble.
BTW, be the guy driving a Toyota, complaining how much it costs you to get to work 12 miles from home. Be unable to discuss the issue intelligently. Do it in front of a couple guys who make a living - in part - driving multiple large diesel trucks from one job to the next...And running diesel equipment when there....Sure. You've got our sympathy.
But he was a big guy. Loud. "Large" personality....That's often enough.

Look at where the fuel distribution terminals are in Wisc.
The one near Waupun on Hwy 26 handles almost 1/3rd of the areas needs. Perhaps that is why FDL and Waupun have cheaper fuel prices. Cheaper transportation costs for wholesalers.
The big terminal in Milwaukee on N107th St should have the Milw prices cheaper than any where but they aren’t. Games the fuel companies play.!
