I posted Long Island prices because some Suffolk in-laws mentioned their prices. There is a lot of competition there and high customer volumes.
4.50 for Upstate is high unless it is a higher octane blend.

In the Hudson Valley I see regular prices between 4.15 and 4.35 now with little East - West difference at any given point on the Hudson. The lower Valley runs on the higher side (costs of everything sucks more in the lower valley as one creeps in the lower Valley Westchester / Rockland nearer NYC).Good ol 87 for me. The cheapest I have seen recently is like 4.29. very common is like 4.49.
I buy the cheapest gas on my daily route as well! Yesterday when I filled up it was $3.29/9; today it’s $3.25/9. I check it online as well.The people that drive 10 miles to save .05 cents a gallon probably never took the time to actually analyze if that was a good idea or not.
At 10 gallons they save .50cents and likely burn half a gallon of gas at 3.50 per gallon to save .50.
At 20 gallons, they save 1$.
All things considered I buy the cheapest gas on my normal route. I'm not going out of my way to spend more than I save doing so.
That's not the issue. It went up in Dollars which translates to huge increases to everything being delivered to the shelves.The people that drive 10 miles to save .05 cents a gallon probably never took the time to actually analyze if that was a good idea or not.

how are things on your side of town?
Well that's a good thing. Let's see how it plays out. I would error on caution for a False Flag to rope us into somethingThis must be causing some serious cognitive dissonance for the "trump is a pawn of netanyahu" crowd. Oddly silent.

For sure! No doubt about it.You know Israel is going to jam a stick into the spokes of the peace agreement right?

Yeah, and if history proves anything, there may be an even better chance Hezbollah (with rogue IRGC support & encouragement ... instead of reigning their proxies in) will push, taunt, and then punish Israel in to a response.You know Israel is going to jam a stick into the spokes of the peace agreement right?

I determined that, to get cheaper gas I have to drive a minimum of 20 miles.The people that drive 10 miles to save .05 cents a gallon probably never took the time to actually analyze if that was a good idea or not.

My truck averages around 15MPG.
Average fill-up is 15 gallons.
15 gallons is $67.36
If it takes 1.333... gallons to save money.
And if gas is 4.489 per gallon.
I need a difference equivalent of $5.98
I would have to find gas within that 20 mile radius at $4.092/gallon just to break even.
When gas was cheaper, like in Trump's first term, the break-even point was closer to $0.25 difference in price, and I could regularly find differences near $0.40 per gallon. Now, with the prices so much higher, and the differences between where I live and those "cheaper" places is closer to $0.20 per gallon, it does not make sense to drive to "save money". Especially when one of those cheaper places was BJs, which has a membership fee on top of the cost to get there.

Israel remains committed to the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel, Lebanon and the US. If Hezbollah does not violate the agreement, it will be kept. Under all circumstances, Israel retains its right to respond to attacks against it and to thwart threats to itsx.com
We must be getting close.
In a few years, Big Brother will remind us that we have always been at war with Israel.
