Are people still buying the same amount of gasoline at each service station visit?   With the price of gas dropping again, some are buying smaller amounts because a tank fill up this week may cost several dollars less next week.

My friend is on call 24/7 at his job so he keeps his tank full. Last week he hit the jackpot at the Belmont Ave. GetGo and thanks to his fuel perks ended up paying .89 cents a gallon, but he knows that this was a fluke, and may never happen again, but because he is on call 24/7 he makes sure that he keeps a full tank of gas in his car. Needless to say that he keeps posted about gas prices, but he will not go out of his was to save a penny. The big secret is that he maintains his cars like a professional so that it is always in perfect condition.

That could go either way.....I know that a lot of county governments, etc buy fuel in bulk once or twice a
year during the off-season to help keep their costs down when gas prices rise in the Summer.  I've been
putting more gas in my truck when I stop for fuel lately.

There is a shortage of super tankers.  It is reported that global oil traders have contracted most tankers and have filled them up with oil.................they know what's coming.
