I drove by the Chevron this morning after 9. They posted $2.679. I
drove by the Albertson's. They posted $2.749. I went to HEB. They
posted $2.789. So the Chevron is the best place to buy gas.
I buy my groceries at HEB and head back to the Chevron station. The
price had gone up to $2.799. I grumbled and filled up the gas tank in
that vehicle.
I took a different vehicle to pick up Sam at school. I went to the
Albertson's to buy the green bell peppers I'd neglected to get at HEB.
When I went in to the store, the price was still $2.749. When I came
out of the store, intending to buy gas, the price had jumped to $2.819.
I figured I'd just go back to the Chevron and pay the $2.799 there.
So I get to the Chevron and the price is now $2.899! I grumble and
drive home without topping off that tank.
I'm going to take that vehicle to take Sam to an appointment and go back
to the HEB on the way back and pay whatever the heck HEB is charging at
that point this afternoon, and expect the Chevron price to be up once
again....
Update on prices as of 3PM:
HEB: $2.999
Albertson's: $2.819 (unchanged from the morning price)
Chevron: $3.019
Previously unmentioned Shell station: $2.799, same as when I went by
just after 9AM
I put all the 3PM gas price info I had up on austingasprices.com . They
didn't even have my Chevron listed before I did that! I guess I'll be
updating that particular one on a regular basis in the future.
The Chevron jump from $2.679 to $3.019 in the space of 6 hours was the
most startling to me. (It might be based on, "We can get the next
shipment at $X per gallon. No, it's going to be $Y per gallon. Now
it's up to $Z per gallon.")
