1.66 for 85 in Denver as of a few days ago. Should be dropping more as the refineries catch up to the oversupply and low oil prices.

I think their gas is shooting from the water faucets up there. Probably why it's so cheap...

There is speculation that with the sanctions against Iran being dropped the market should get an influx of oil, of course that doesn't mean our refineries will take advantage of it.

Iranian production will be stagnated by the Saudi lowering of the price of sweet crude. They're bucking the rest of their "friends" in OPEC simply to stick it to the Iranians. And the Russians.

They're trying to get us to lower our production. Onshore US oil production has been in a boom the last few years and SA wants us to buy more from them.

I hate every fuel stop from Denver to KC. Trips to see the inlaws are highly motivating to install a 100 gallon transfer tank so I only have to buy fuel at either end.

Finished installing a 23 gal main tank today. I'm able to carry 34 gal now, at my usual 20+ mpg that's 680 miles. I'll be installing mine & Rob's old old main tank in the trailer this summer (front to back) with an electric pump & quick disconnects. That'll put me at 56 gal & 1120 miles.
