Best Buy Monday Morning: $3.15 at Shell

BP is back up and and running, although still under construction. Best deal in Geneva as of Monday morning was at the Shell.

In our cruise of the Geneva gas stations this morning, we found that BP on West State Street is back pumping gasoline.

Last week, BP was not selling gas because it is installing new dispensers—new gas pumps. Although still under construction, there are a couple lanes open. Gas there was selling for $3.23 for a gallon of regular on Monday morning.

The best price in Geneva was $3.15 at the Shell station at Kirk and State.

The price at a couple stations shot up a dime since last week. Ouch. The average price of a gallon of unleaded in Geneva was about $3.14 last week. This week's average was $3.1985, so we rounded it up to $3.20 on the graphic below. Also, please note that we're not counting that extra 9/10 of a penny that's on the end. So you can figure in about an extra cent per gallon, if you'd like to be precise.

Prices overall are up again, for the second consecutive week of the Gas Gauge series. Last week, the low price was $3.09.

One of the folks working on the installation project said it would probably be Wednesday before gas was being pumped again.

In other action, we checked on a report that the $3.09 gas price at Shell required a car wash for that "lower" price. But this morning, I checked at the pump (and actually filled up), and the price was $3.09 without the car wash.

We introduced the Gas Gauge column to Geneva Patch two weeks ago. Let us know if you'd like to see it continue by clicking the "Yes, keep me posted!" button at the end of this story.
