Rates are crashing and fuel to the moon!

Just so you know, my wife does trading on the market. Not options, she chose a less risky route that's more slow burn long term oriented and even with the downturns on the market she's doing okay.

Anywho, never said there wasn't people making money doing it. I know people make a crap ton of money playing the market in numerous ways, it's that I actually don't give a rats ### how much money someone else makes. Their paycheck isn't my paycheck therefore it's irrelevant. Not that I don't wish other people success in any venture they go after, especially when there's a lot of risk to it.. I simply don't care what another person's specific numbers are.

My point was that this is an internet forum and we can all be whatever we want to be, with very little in the way of actual verification of the facts. Just the way it is. So it's understandable whenever someone comes here and starts throwing out big numbers that some skepticism is applied. I've always felt like the most truthful people here are the ones who don't really brag about what they're pulling in, rather they talk about their success in more subtle ways that don't come across as bragging so it's easier to take what they say as reality. I suppose one way to put it is that they show their WORK, and talk about HOW they do things. They aren't constantly spouting off about the money.

 

Not at all. Seems most in here are claiming its impossible.. I am simply refuting that claim. Everyone is entitled to their opinion...

but I wouldn't expect those that can't discern between a CPA, a stock broker,and a stock trader and any other type of financial trader, to understand anything that's being talked about here. Case closed. Continue on. I will see myself out.

 

I've always found QT to be considerably cheaper than Pilot whenever I drive through Arizona and Texas, at least when comparing retail prices, since Pilot has a fuel program which supposedly gives you a discount when paying at the pump, but there's always a catch for those.

Also could be QT buying fuel from a different supplier than whoever Pilot buys from. Went on a personal trip to El Paso from CA, Tuesday night 09/13/22 QT Buckeye AZ was $4.29 for unleaded, while QT in Marana AZ was selling at $3.25, same grade. Apparently QT Marana buys their fuel from suppliers east of them, maybe either NM or TX, while Buckeye was buying from CA, hence the $1 difference. I know, these prices are for gasoline, not for diesel, which by the way was selling at $4.79 both stations 130 miles apart.

It might be like you just said, Pilot is just being greedy, and they'll still get a lot business because a lot of company drivers have fuel cards and don't have much choice in where they fuel.

 

that is a valid question!!! QT in south Dallas will be .50 cheaper than loves 25 miles south off the same interstate.

 

Bro, it's the same gas coming out of the same hole.
Like I said, I believe the current administration bears most of the blame, however, I feel like the companies are taking advantage...."Hey, it's that dude over there......"
Screwed from both directions

 

Software and machine learning play a large part, here is a relevant snippet from the website(pretty much just a marketing portal for potential customers) of a company named Kalibrate:
