I-Bonds are pretty good for individual investors, esp in times of high inflation. There are some important limits to consider: e.g. how much you wish to invest, and the yield rate changes with the inflation rate. A US treasury bond has no principal amount limit, and the yield rate is guaranteed for 30 years.
$4.13/gallon this morning, at Costco.
My wife said she got gas near our home yesterday and paid $4.39. Then she drove through the park to the next town over and saw gas for $4.23. Gotta go over the river next time.
$ 3.99 here yesterday…

$5.25 San Jose Costco.
3.79 Today.
32 cent decline in the past two weeks, US average. But still more than a dollar more than a year ago.
Yep I filled up today and saved about $1.80. I’m debating what to do with it. Instead of investing it I bought a corn dog for $5.
Supply and demand.
Demand is high since we suck down gasoline and diesel in this country like there’s no tomorrow.
Supply is lower for reasons we cannot get into right now. (Here’s a hint…The _______ Of The United States does not determine supply, demand nor does he or she set the fuel prices)
Maybe we need to use energy in a more responsible manner. Maybe the US shouldn’t swill gasoline in our pickup trucks like a sailor swills rum while on liberty. I have been and still can be guilty of wasting gasoline, I am ashamed of myself but some of us are starting to wake up and become educated and are making changes.
I still am wasting fuel, I monkeyed with the fan on my caprice to make it roar which uses more fuel. This is my one last blast before I make some changes to use fuel in a more responsible manner. I was driving around today just racing and roaring the engine and driving in a manner which was wasting fuel in an egregious manner. After this tank that’s it, no more nonsense.
Where I live, I cannot walk to a grocery store. I cannot walk anywhere. I am working on making changes, I want to be able to walk places. Changes coming.
@bing I edited out the election reference. You know people will argue with you when you do that. Please just don’t.

Then move. Closest store of any kind is 5 miles away. Try walking that in one of our winters. It’s a choice we made to live in rural NH. I was born in a city and lived there til I was 12. I’ve worked in downtown Boston. I like where I life.

I was born in Brooklyn, NY, and my family moved from there to a slightly less urban area of NJ when I was 8 years old. After I entered my working years, I moved several times, to communities are were progressively less urban each time, and now I live in a rural area of NJ where I don’t have to deal with traffic congestion. Yes, I have to drive everywhere, but I accept this as a good trade-off that gives me a placid location that is free of congestion, noise, and pollution.
To each his own…

That’s where the part about making changes comes in. It doesn’t happen at the snap of a finger.
$3.65 at the Top Tier station (Quick Trip) near me.
Good article on why gas prices are dropping globally, not just the US:

$4.09/gal. at my local Costco today.
I paid $4.069 today and I was chuffed….
Then I saw another station, same brand, at $4.049 on the way home. Oh well. At least I paid about 20 cents less a gallon than the last time I bought gas a couple of weeks ago.
