Gasoline/Diesel/Propane Prices

[Sir Henry]

87 octane E10 was $2.089 in Milwaukee as reported by a friend.

[Sir Henry]

I just saw 87 octane E10 for $2.39.

I’m heading to Idaho for gas today and will report back. Our prices as well as Idaho have gone up in the last week, about .10 per gallon according to the news.

[Mags]

Yesterday, I saw name brand gas for $3.75/gal.

Fred Meyer 'generic' gas:
Regular Midgrade Premium Diesel
$3.36 $3.76 $4.16 $4.20

And if I have the grocery points I can get up to $1 off per gallon.

Don't know propane price at Fred Meyer, but the grocery points discount also applies to propane refills.

Elsewhere propane runs: $2.75 to $3.69/gal for refill. If tank exchange $4.40/gal.

Propane is $3.50/gal at my local Fred Myer, about 40¢ less than most other places. Gas prices are around $3.50/gal

our prices seem to have stabilized .... $2.459 cash, $2.559 credit for regular 87 octane with 10% alcohol at our cheapest stations .... premium stations are a quarter or more per gallon .... our pickup holds a little over 36 gallons so I make every effort to not run it way down between fillings

[dave77]

Tank in my Miata is only 12½ gallons so usually only need 9 or so for a fill-up. When gas was around $5/gallon it would have been scary to fill your truck up if it was close to empty. $150 for 30 gallons.

I’m heading to Idaho for gas today and will report back. Our prices as well as Idaho have gone up in the last week, about .10 per gallon according to the news.

This is what I paid at a Maverick station at Post Falls Idaho. I drove past a Maverick here in Washington state and the price was $3.65.

Holy moly Batman. That’s a big difference.

[dave77]

I don't understand why our gas in WA is so expensive. State gas tax is only 26¢ more than Idaho, even after accounting for that the WA price was 83¢ more than Idaho.

From Google

Key factors for the price difference include:

Higher Taxes and Fees: Washington has one of the highest gas taxes in the nation, which increased by another 6 cents in July 2025.
Climate Commitment Act (CCA): This Washington cap-and-invest program requires fuel suppliers to purchase emission allowances, adding significant costs that are passed on to consumers.
Environmental Regulations: Idaho does not impose the same stringent carbon fees or regulatory,, meaning lower compliance costs for fuel suppliers.
Infrastructure & Operating Costs: Washington's infrastructure requires more maintenance, and higher overall operational costs can influence retail prices.

Conversely, Idaho’s lower taxes and lack of additional carbon-related regulations contribute to its lower, more stable gasoline prices.

My Washington State earned dollars sure goes a lot further in Wisconsin.

Well done Sir Henry.

[daytime dave]

Still $2.97 when I filled up the truck and got pizza and wings after work.

[Sir Henry]

$3.09 yesterday for 87 octane E10. Dang war.

[Hatchdog]

The local news told me this morning that gas in the Spokane area is up .17 and in Coeur d’alene Idaho is up .22. Coeur d’alene will still be .60 or better cheaper than Washington due to high gas tax here. My wife is having cataract surgery which will require two trips to a location near Idaho next week and two more the following week. This will give me the opportunity to get gas much cheaper. I’ll drive whatever vehicle need gas.

$3.79 for regular a couple days ago. $4.25 for Diesel

[Sir Henry]

$3.29 for 87 octane E10.

[Hatchdog]

Over $4 in Spokane. I’m heading to Idaho tomorrow so I’ll get gas there for probably just over $3.

[HenryFan]

I had to fill the F250 tank today and paid $2.99.9 at a Murphy station in Newberry, SC. Somewhat painful.
