But there are headlines – not quite correct – that say an Auburn gas station is preparing their digital displays at the pump for gas prices to hit $10 a gallon.There is something unusual about the 76 gas station that’s family-owned by Small and Sons – it sells specialty racing fuel that’s 100 octane. Operations manager Jeff Small says rising fuel prices mean they did have to adjust the pump display when prices for the specialty gas topped $10 per gallon.
“It was on Fox news, I guess, and that’s when everything really started rolling in,” Small said. “It was kind of frustrating after that point, getting phone calls — not knowing with today’s climate and social media, what would happen to our little station, you know?”“This is like for off-road use, not for normal everyday driving,” said Tristan Besabe, who builds specialty engines. He was getting gas for a souped-up Nissan with a completely rebuilt engine. The racing fuel was selling for $10.98.
But the gas station’s regular unleaded gas is right on par with the Washington State average — $5.19 a gallon. On Friday, the locally-owned 76′s prices were actually about 40 cents cheaper than a few of gas stations down the street, and lower than the Seattle-Bellevue-Everett average of $5.32. Another piece of misinformation circulating? Several media reports say Washington State is running out of gas. There is a photo circulating from a Pasco gas station in Eastern Washington that has a “out of fuel” sign. KIRO7 called the station, which said it’s just because of a missed delivery.“We are not facing any kind of shortage. We have a good supply,” said Kelly Just, with AAA Washington.
DeedeeKIRO7 Sarcastic tone of this article’s headline is in poor taste. Why shouldn’t we believe greedy gas-mongering corporations won’t cont’u price gauging unless govt steps in? How about an article about these corporations Oh that’s right, is owned by them!🤦🏼
Yep, and Joe Biden did that. NOT PUTIN!!!
How much of that is the State Tax
The ONLY thing that matters is voting to keep our democracy. All this hype about high prices means zero compared to that.
sacrebleu141 “Look, I know gas prices are painful. I get it. My plan is going to help ease that pain today and safeguard again — against it tomorrow.” -JoeBiden 03/31/2022 Anytime POTUS…
Biden and the Bozo in Olympia with destroy the economy and bring more financial harm to families and small businesses. With Trump my 401 k plan looked a lot better and gas wasn’t over $5 a gal. They have turned the party of FDR and JFK into the party of LOL and WTF!!
Incorrect. They're preparing for $15/gallon not $10/gallon
Don't worry folks, Biden is currently working on a plan to make things even worse.
And the Governor Does Not Care.
Ya ya $10 a gallon blah blah blah.
Thanks GovInslee
