Election coming up is a factor as well
1.65 at shell in hernando for diesel yesterday afternoon with kroger discount. I'm liking it.
It seems the fuel prices are always a bit lower (with or without points) in the Batesville area. I get 5 cents off on my Walmart card at most Murphy Oil stations and Sam's Club.
Yeah we get the paper printed in Batesville and always fill up while there at the new station across from wally world. They have good diesel prices as well but my truck runs better off the Scott fuel in Grenada and their price is usually good for diesel.

For the first time in history, we as a nation are on track to be able to produce enough oil to not have to import from the Middle East. If that happens, their economies will crumble. Any other time in history Saudi Arabia and the rest of the oil producing nations would just slash production, drive supply down, and drive prices back up. But right now they are slashing the cost of oil so that it is more economical to buy their oil than to pump our own. Their goal is to bankrupt fracking operations. And it's working. Oil field layoffs are astronomical. Entire rig blocks are shut down and empty. 20% of the US merchant Marine fleet is tied up with no crews onboard. My company, who hasn't layed off an employee in 85 years had to reduce the number of able bodied seaman and officers by over 15% this year.
