Remember to vote this coming Tuesday and fill up your fuel tanks.
From what I'm hearing prices will likely start rising starting Wednesday.

Our fuel prices have been up and down by as much as 30 cents a gallon over the past few weeks.   :headbang:   :smiley_blackeye:  :cussing:

We've been swinging from ~3.50 to 3.80+  all in 7 to 10 days.  It climbs up overnite and a few days later it starts working it's way back down.  Like a pendulum in a clock,  it runs up and then back down - takes a week / 10 days to swing.

I paid $2.89 for diesel in South Dakota last week. Gasoline there was $2.69 at the time. The price has gone up 6 cents since then, but is still under $3 per gallon for both diesel and gasoline. Minnesota prices are 40 to 50 cents per gallon higher than that.
