Anyone else have a significant rise in overnight fuel prices? Ten percent overnight rise in Southern New Mexico.

Majors have a person that sits at a desk all day to calculate the price for the stations. Was there snowfall in the mountains, price goes up if your near a ski resort. Is it a holiday, or other special day that might increase demand? Price goes up.
And yes, the refinery closure as well as wars all have an impact.
Last Saturday the area had a significant amount of rain. No impact that I personally saw, but last night learned that Roswell NM has significant flooding in many buildings. Maybe a refinery or support to a refinery was flooded.

Or the transport tankers. Maybe not the roads themselves, but the loading facility? Like I said, MANY factors are considered, and the person is very good at her job!
Independent stations just follow suite to avoid a run on product.
 
Anyone even whispers hurricane around here and gas goes up a dollar.

10% overnight There’s likely nothing more than local price collusion. Some large station raised their rate, and everybody follows.

We’re awash in crude oil. refining capacity is another matter, as is delivery.
 
Saw in the news this morning Amazon Prime members can get a .10 per gallon discount at company owned BP gas stations.
Saw that too, looks like a lot of hoops to jump for a $1.40 savings max for me. Plus more folks will have your info.
Gas is stable here. $2.60 ave

I got that email and checked into it.... First, you have to download a separate app (pretty much a deal-breaker for me) and then it's only at BP and Amoco stations. BP stations aren't that common around me, not to mention that they're all just franchised, branded "BP" locations, and Amoco stations are non-existent here to my knowledge.

Out my way it looks as though the Amoco name is used on a new station mainly when an existing BP isn't far away. Otherwise there are more BP stations than Amoco stations here.
 
Hold my beer... Even though I don't drink. When 87* reg sneaks below $4 I celebrate. About $4.50 and up now...
Still over $6 in some places out my way. As of 5 min ago.

Gas is jumping 60 cents as I speak, a few stations here are still at 2.29 but not for long.

Nope

Wholesale gasoline is only up $0.02 today. Jumping $0.60 there seems to be local pricing taking a news story and spinning it into a huge price jump that isn't necessary.
