Are you surprised they've hit a low at this time of year as we're heading into the colder months?

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah, you know, Dan, I don't want to be a downer,
but ten percent of the hockey season is over. Yeah,
ten percent of lying by season is over. It's not
even Halloween, man.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Not even Halloween. The Bruins have already lost five straight.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's tough. Oh they're gonna ruin. My winter hasn't even
started yet.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh this is horrible. Yeah, I felt I was glad
to see Marcian back tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Though.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It was a really nice moment, really nice moment.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Absolutely. I mean he was he was as uh he was.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
He was the quintessential Boston brewin player, you know, goes
back to the lunch bucket era of Johnny mackenzie and
those guys.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
You know, hard working. Yeah, I got it, went after
it every single night. I mean you never you never
questioned his effort. That was for sure. You might have
some other things he just sometimes, but never question his effort,
that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
And a character he's been good for hockey.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Oh absolutely.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
And I was hoping the Bruins. I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I was hoping the Bruins would bring him back during
free agency this summer.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
But Florida opened the check book. That's really all you
can say about that, for well, that's the Bruins weren't
going to give him that.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
But yeah, no, I get it. I get it. Uh
and and he's what thirty seven?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Now I believe so yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, I mean he'll you know you heard me, jargon
is playing in.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I saw that thirty eighth professional season at fifty three
years old.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, I mean yeah, you gotta you, Gottaus. These guys
love hockey, you got they love it.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
They're not ready to go full men's league. So if
they if someone's gonna pay for him to play, though,
they'll get on the ice.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's for sure. He'll slide into the sixty year over
He'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Sure, why not?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Thanks Dan, I appreciate it very much, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
All Right, everybody, Hey, the brew lost, but it's only tempers.
They have ninety percent of the season left. Let's look
at it. Let's let's look at it as half full,
not half empty. But five games down in a row.
I know there was a road trip there, I get it.
But whatever, Okay, here's what I want to We have
(02:18):
been mentioning for a couple of nights.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Now we're going to talk about some good news. We
often talk.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
About bad news here on night Side, and that's that's
the way people are, That's the way we are. We
talk about planes that crash, not not plays that land.
To me, it's a miracle that every that any plane lands,
and it's a miracle that every plane doesn't. I still
don't understand the the aeronautics of it, which is which
(02:43):
allows to get this humongous craft up in the air
flying five hundred and fifty or six hundred miles an
hour at thirty five thousand feet. But we'll save that
for another day. Gas prices are down down to the
lowest levels in four years. You got to go back
to really the days of the pandemic. When you think
(03:06):
about it, this would take us back to twenty twenty one.
The pandemic was still going on, COVID nineteen was still
going on. Gas Buddy is reporting nationwide the average for gasoline.
And again I assume this is a gallon of regular gasoline.
I don't assume that this includes high test and all
(03:27):
of that. But it's two ninety eight a gallon.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Now there are for those of you who do not
realize it, and I hope you do. Every gallon of
gasoline you buy, there is a price in there for
the state tax gasoline tax. I have to go back
and refresh my recollection. Maybe someone has it off the
top of the head. California is very expensive. I think
(03:50):
California's like forty five cents a gallon, which contributes to
the fact that they may be the highest in the nation.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And I'm during the break, I will find it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Massachusetts we're like an eighteen cents a gallon, So that
means if you fill up with ten gallons, there will
be what a buck eighty If it's eighteen cents a gallon?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You just do the math. Bottom line is what are
you paying.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
For gas these days? I'm paying abound two ninety four.
I'd love to know where you're paying. There's my favorite
gas station which is on Route nine. Gary's gas Station
right over. If you crossover going Root nine West and
you are going from Newton towards Wellesley and you have
(04:38):
Gary's in the right, that gasoline station is always I
think very reasonable.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And as a matter of fact, they do. I think
it's a.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Sixth cent off cash on Sundays. So the bottom line
is that we were over four dollars in Massachusetts in
some parts of the country. Five if you happen to
live in a far away state. So far tonight, all
of our callers have been Massachusetts callers, which is great
(05:09):
because we dealt with a quintessentially Massachusetts story. So now,
if you're listening in any of the thirty eight states
where our voice is heard, as well as on the
internet across the country and around the world, love to
know what you're paying for gasoline and are you surprised
that gasoline is down. I know that there were a
(05:31):
lot of concerns earlier this year about tariffs and how
they might impact the economy, and I guess they have
had some impact on some products. But just looking at gasoline,
gasoline is such an incredibly important product because everything that
you buy that is delivered to your to your local
(05:53):
grocery store, to your local hardware store, to you if
you go into a card shop, whatever, if you if
you go everything you if you go into a beauty
so on. Everything there at some point has been on
a truck.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And inflation is seemingly under control.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I mean, I know there are items that have gone up,
and we can talk about that some night. There are
different food items that's went up, and they haven't brought
the price down. I avoid them fruit and vegetables, I
think is still pretty reasonable.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I shop.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I'm a I'm a grocery store shopper, but I want
to focus on gasoline. So I want to open up
the phone lines and I want to hear from you.
Six one seven thirty. Are you pleased?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You have to be. I can't imagine anybody is displayed,
Oh I can.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I can conjure up someone who doesn't drive a car,
uh and is concerned about what cars do to the atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
They might be concerned, and.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
They'd like to see this as an opportunity for gas
to access to be to be raised. But I'm not
looking for that. I expect most of you aren't as well.
So I'm gonna ask you to feel free to join
the conversation. I'm gonna take We got Joel already. I'm
gonna not allow Joel to wait. I'm gonna take Joel.
See what Joel has to say. We'll take a quick
break in the meantime. Six one seven two ten thirty,
(07:19):
six one seven nine thirty. Gas prices are down across
the country. Triple A here in Massachusetts agrees gas Buddy agrees,
and I'm interested if you agree. Hey, Joel, welcome to back,
Welcome back to Night's side, Joel and Natick. Hi, Joel,
how are you?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I'm doing fine?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Dan?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
How are you going good?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
How's your gas cost? Where are you getting your gas
these days? And when is it costing you?
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Well, let me give you a sworthint. Go to you
go to guessbuddy dot com. Yep, and you put in Massachusetts,
and then you put in Boston, and it gives you
all the towns in the Boston area. Okay, and for
each town it tells you where I have how much
the gas the lowest price get for each town?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Great?
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Okay, So yesterday I did a study for you, okay,
with all the towns, and I found out that Wellesley
is a gas station called Mike's Gas is charging two
thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Two nine for regular I mean obviously regular regular.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
That's not like a one that's that's not a one
day only.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Right, not that I know of.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Wow, that is that's amazing. Where where is his station located?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Luton nine Luten nine, heading wet On, not heading towards
from Wellesley Tenatick.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Oh oh that wow? Two thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I kind of imagine price any price of being lower
than that. Wow, that is amazing. Uh and that's from
gas buddies.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Oh yeah wow. So and Framingham the gas goes for
two forty nine. Yeah, and you bet for the gas
close with two forty eight. Wow, Avington two fifty seven.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Those are some really low prices.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I'm hoping some of our listeners are going to call
in and claim ownership of those stations. By the way,
I'm looking at a chart here, Massachusetts is now twenty
four cents for gasoline and also for diesel. California is
almost sixty cents for gasoline, so I misspoke. They were
(09:34):
about fifty nine point six. I'm gonna call that sixty
cents and forty five cents for diesel. The cheapest that
I can see real quickly is Alaska is ninth cents
per gallon. So that's going to have a huge difference
if you depending upon the state in which you live.
Maryland is forty seven cents a gallon. That's pretty expensive.
(09:56):
Connecticut is fifty two and a half cents a gallon.
That's pretty expensive. Hawaii. Hawaii is only sixteen cents on
both diesel.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
And regular gasoline.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, these I'm assuming these are up to date numbers.
New York is twenty four sixth almost the same as
as Massachusetts. We're twenty four in New York Is, says
a little more expensive. Pennsylvania fifty seven cents. That's a
big number in Pennsylvania. Yeah, there's not a lot of
(10:34):
rhyme or reason here. Vermont only thirty three cents more
than Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Let me see what Maine is.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
And again this is the tax you pay thirty cents,
so the cheapest one in New England understandably. New Hampshire
twenty three cents. Twenty three point eight cents a gallon
for taxes. So yeah, but you did it. You did
it great tooth thirty nine. Maybe some of some of
(11:02):
their customers will call in Joel, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Dan, Okay, absolutely good.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Not all brand names a been a big lowest. You'll
find that the Momin Popstards sometimes Oa, then Sinoko, Golf Mobile.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yes, absolutely, and correct me if I'm wrong. But the
reason is that Sunoco and Golf don't allow anybody to
buy their gas. So there's will there's some stations that
will say like Victory Gas, which not what you call
your your new national labels. I think that Gary's station,
(11:41):
the one on Route nine going west.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Right over one twenty eighth UH is Victory. I believe
it is Victory gas.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But it's your car runs on it just as good.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
So also he's got Jays Costco and stuff up and Shop.
Now if you belong, if you belong to Stop and Shop,
you can get you can save money by going to Shell.
Can you save ten cents a gallon on show gasoline?
When you have to spend spend the you know the
dollar amount at Stop and Shop. So if you spend
(12:18):
one hundred dollars you get you get ten cents off
the gallon at Shell and then mobile if you're a
senior citizen, Tomorrow is double points day. And also because
before couple thirty. First, if you sell U with eight
gallons or more, you'll get two hundred points at Mobile,
(12:40):
and if you spend five dollars in the store you
get another two hundred points.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
All right, Well, again.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I'm not into those because I tend to try to
go to the same station because one of the things
I'm concerned about is getting consistency of gas in my car,
because if my car is one and fine.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I don't want to mess with others and you know,
but that's all.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You're saving money, Joel, which is which is a fine
thing to do, particularly now with the prices down a
little less important, but you're still saving money, Joel. Thank
you for doing the homework for me. A should get
you a production credit on tonight's show. Okay, thanks Joel,
Thank one. Talk to you soon. Quick break on nights
(13:24):
side one line at six one thirty and two at
six one, seven, nine, three, ten thirty.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Gas prices are down.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
You can credit the administration, you can blame the administration,
you can do whatever you want, or you can say
the administration doesn't have a role in this.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I am giving you an opportunity to express either your
appreciation uh or you'll lack thereof. But it is better
when gas prices are down. I can remember the gas
lines from the late seventies. I don't ever want to
go through that again. And if we are going to
have East in the Middle East, that's gonna help with
gas prices as well. Coming right, and by the way,
(14:05):
I'll double check the price of a barrel of oil,
But I think those prices are down now in the
high fifties. I mean, there was a time of a
barrel of oil in my memory and your memory is
up one thirty, one hundred and forty dollars. That that
that drove the price of gasoline up a lot six
one seven, two thirty or six one seven, nine three,
(14:27):
one ten thirty.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Coming right back on night.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Side night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Crude oil futures fifty seven dollars and ninety eight cents
fifty eight dollars a barrel.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
It's up a little bit today.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
But if you if you look at this over a
period of let's say five years, there was a point
in twenty twenty two where.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
The price of a barrel of oil was one hundred
and twenty dollars. It went as low. If we go
back five years here to twenty twenty one, it was
down to forty dollars again.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I just think that we're lucky right now, and oil
futures are pretty stable right now. They're near twenty four
week lows. That augurs well. As a matter of fact,
gas Buddies is saying that gas prices are more likely
to drop than to increase. That's going to help all
(15:44):
of us. It's also going to help with inflation because
that doesn't have to Yeah, look it's obvious where we're
going next. Let we go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill,
by the way, I just before I take you here, Bill,
I want to add, Remember I mentioned California was fifty
nine cents, it's actually sixty cents on. On top of that,
they also hit you with a gasoline excise tax in
(16:06):
California of seven point twenty five cents. So that means
for every gallon of gasoline you buy in California, it's
costing you in taxes sixty seven cents.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
In Connecticut, which they.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Have a six point three five percent, So if you
live in Connecticut, you're paying fifty two. You're paying close
to sixty cents a gallon. Not as bad as California.
If you live in Michigan or Illinois, you can tack
on another six percent. Michigan is thirty one, tack on
six that gets you to thirty seven. Illinois is a
(16:43):
relatively high state, forty seven cents a gallon. Tack on
seven fifty four cents a gallon, So they have different
ways here. Let me go next to Bill in Pennsylvania Bill.
Appreciate you calling in. What do you pay for gas
in Pennsylvania these days?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Well, man at Barri's or it's kind of weird because
I'm kind of like right in the middle of the state,
and right around here is today I paid three thirty seven.
But then if I went north here, oh, maybe about
one hundred miles up there, it's like three twelve. But
(17:19):
and you mentioned California. Here in Pennsylvania, every gallon of gas,
every gallon of gas that I put in my car,
the state charges me sixty two cents.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well I got you at fifty according to my chart
here fifty seven cents.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
So well maybe it went down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
But well, this is this is a chart that says
what it says state motor fuel tax rates. You're twenty
twenty five, so I'm going to assume this is accurate.
But it's close to what you said, fifty seven cents,
and if you do diesel, it's seventy four cents. You
have quite some states are the same. So for example,
Oregon is forty cents either way gas or diesel. Your
(18:01):
fifty seven fifty eight cents for gas and seventy five
cents for diesel.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Yeah, and uh and I mean we're we're sitting on
top of an oil reserve here and a natural gas
reserve here. Every every household in Pennsylvania. Okay, it could
be on natural gas, could be heating and cooling with
natural gas.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
But you know, why, why is that not happening? Why
is that not happening? Have your politicians?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
I don't, I don't, I don't know. You know, there's
some some of the older towns. Then every everybody's hooked
up the gas. But maybe it's because everything's spread out
like today. But you know, the the fracking.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
If it wasn't for fracking, this state would be would
be uh a lot poorer, I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, I mean I can remember the controversy about fracking.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Now it seems to be I think an accepted a
procedure as I as I understaid. I'm not an oil
uh investor in any way, shape or form. I have
invested previously with with a friend of mine who was
involved in oil wells. Some of them were good, some
of them were bad. I think probably at the end
(19:17):
of the day was a wash. But I learned a
lot about oil wells and you know, you have these
geological surveys and they think there's a lot of gas
down a lot of oil down there, and it turns
out to be a dry hole, and.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
You have to And I could tell you, I could
tell you one thing. I haven't run into one person
Dan in the last two weeks it mentioned anything of
anything about a government setdown. Not one.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Well that's a story maybe for tomorrow night, okay, But
I don't want to open up another can of worms.
I want to stick with see what people are paying.
So you paid today? How much you've told me you
paid three?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
What?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Three?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Fifty? Okay?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Well I could I paid yesterday to ninety four. So
I'm forty five cents below you, and a good punk,
a good chunk of that is the difference.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We pay twenty four cents in state tax.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You pay, well, fifty seven cents, fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Cents seven, ok Okay, that's okay. So that's a that's
a difference.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
That's a difference right there when you look at it,
twenty twenty four from fifty seven you're talking, that's thirty
three cents. If you were paying our taxes, you'd be
down to three pretty close to three dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You said you're three thirty seven or three.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Thirty ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, take away thirty seven cents, you'd be three zero two.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
And I hope they're spending your money wisely in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Bill, I'm pending all my money on my granddaughters.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
No, but I'm talking about the state.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Thanks Bill talking now, No, forget about it, forget about it.
We got the worst roads. We got the worst road here, Dan,
that when he's supposed to be spent for these potholes.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
But you got a great nickname, the Keystone State. I mean,
that's such a great nick name.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Hey, Hey Dan, Hey Dan, I'm starting to come around now.
I think I think I like Fetterman.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Well, he's an independent Democrat, and I don't think the
Democrats like independent Democrat.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
At least they're gonna primary. They're going to primary him
as soon as they get a champ.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Well, if you like him, support them.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Thanks Bill talk, you will have a great nowe here
comes the news at the bottom of the hour. Okay,
one line at six one seven, two, five, four ten thirty.
Couple at six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty.
I want to know, particularly for those of you in
New England and around the country. How much are you
paying for gas these days? I can tell you how
much you're paying in taxes. Uh, and what part of
(21:50):
your you know? Tell me how much you pay per gallon.
I'll tell you how much taxes represent in that gallon.
So for example, here in Massachusetts, we have a twenty
four cent tax that goes right to the state for
every gallon. Every gallon, So that means if I fill
up my gas tank and I buy ten gallons of gas,
(22:10):
two dollars and forty cents of that purchase price goes
in Taxas to call out of Massachusetts six seven two
one line six one seven nine three one. Last night
we had a great group of callers, and we had
a lot of first time callers. This is an easy
one become a first time caller. We'll give you a
(22:31):
round of applause. Coming back on night Side.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Back to the phones we go. Let me go to
Dallas in Ohio. Hey, Dallas, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
How are you.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Pretty good?
Speaker 6 (22:48):
Dan?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Yourself?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I'm doing just great. What do you what you pay
for gas out in Ohio?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Well, I just got gas this afternoon, and uh, I
paid two dollars and forty nine cents a gallon.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Really, yeah, that's quite.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It fluctuates from time to time. Uh, but I go
to a specific location every time I put fuel in
my vehicle.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
How well, how far from where you live? How far
do they have to drive to get there?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Probably about two and a half miles.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Well that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I mean, it's not like you're driving, you know, and
burning you know, ten gallons of gas to get there.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So you said, you said two fifty nine.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
That is, by the way, you pay thirty eight and
a half cents in taxes, So if you were, if
you if that tax was taken away, you'd be in
actuality paying about.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Two ten a gallon, right right, that's great. And by
the way, is that a brand gas station or is that,
you know, one of the sort of more independent type stations.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Oh, Sam's Club, good.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
For you, that's great. I used to be a member
of Sam's Club. They had a Sam's Club in Natick,
which was near where I lived. Uh, and then they
closed it up and moved on. I liked Sam's Club,
but I don't want to drive twenty miles. It has
to be it has to be convenient. Well, good for you,
(24:31):
and you never have a problem with the gas. It's
not like your your engine stutters or or sputters or
anything like that.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
It was good, guess, no, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And how high?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
What's the biggest the highest number at the worst that
it was where you lived in pen where you live
in Pennsylvania. How high did they ever get up to
four dollars.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
At one time?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
It did.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Now except chamber. I went in September, I have a
price of two sixty seven, two dollars and sixty seven cents.
And then and then at the beginning I went back
again at the beginning of October, October to third, and
I paid two dollars and forty cents a gallon.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Okay, well, campus coming down is going in the right direction, Dallas.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I'm I'm happy for you. That's good, got that right,
you know.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And hopefully we can keep gas prices down and that
will keep inflation down and everybody will have a few
more dollars in their pockets. So I'm somebody who I
believe we got a drill, we can drill offshore, drilling
up in the reserves, up in up in Alaska and drill.
(25:43):
You know, I want to be respectful of mother nature.
I'm not looking to deplete the supply, but I think
there's a lot of fossil fuel left in the ground
which we can safely extract.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
That's right, simple as that. Dallas.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Always great to hear your voice. Thank you for taking
the time tonight. We'll talk sooner.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I appreciate Dan. Nice talk soon.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Right back at you.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Okay, bye bye, okay, bye bye.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
B six ten thirty Gonna go to John in New York,
JAA Hey John, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
How are you.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
I'm trying. How about you, Dan, I'm doing great.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
So what are you paying in New York these days
for a gas?
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Well, I just pulled out of a place station here
a few minutes ago of three twelve a gallon.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
For New York.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
That's not bad. You you have a relatively for New York.
You you only pay the same as Massachusetts. I really am
concerned about you know, you pay twenty four cents a gallon,
uh for for state taxes, So that's pretty close to Massachusetts.
We're twenty four, you're twenty four, twenty six. We'll call it.
(26:55):
We'll call it square. Now the two cheapest states for
guests for gas tax says ironically, and I don't understand this.
Alaska nine cents a gallon and Hawaii's sixteen cents a gallon.
I have no idea why those two states. Arizona is
only eighteen cents, but Alaska and Hawaii are the two
(27:16):
least expensive states in terms of taxes. Now maybe maybe, uh,
Hawaii has huge taxes on tourism. That could be a
factor as well, so that's possible.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Yes, And Alaska, Yeah, there's enough money on their pineapples.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Maybe maybe.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
And Alaska I think has a lot of boil up
there anyway. And I think people in Alaska who are
citizens of Alaska still get a payment from the government
for simply being a citizen of Alaska, which isn't a
bad deal when you think about it, if you can
stay in the winter.
Speaker 8 (27:55):
By the way, I want to mention to you. I
heard you earlier say about how you feel more comfortable
buying the gas at the same place all the time. Yeah,
you are one hundred percent correct. I'll tell you why,
because I've seen people go to different places that are
cheap and they get water in the gas, you know,
(28:15):
I mean sometimes water runs down to fill a pipe
into the tank at the station.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
You get it, you know.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
And one thing, another thing I want to mention to
you is I used to have a fuel oil company.
They're closed now, but they used to use a tanker
truck that they've used it for different purposes. They hold
gasoline in it, they hold fuel oil in it. Different
grades of fuel oil they delivered to the school. Which
is it boil? It's like number five oil, like that
(28:43):
sludge that they have a free heat.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah that's not good. You know that's not good.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Oh, no, it's not. I didn't know this, but I
was buying number two fuel oil from them, and one
time I had an incident. It was a December there
was snow on the ground right before Christmas. My oil
of backfire. That smoked him out of the right. So
I called the guy in because I usually work on
stuff myself. Being so close to the holiday, I just
got something comm in. You should have seen the soot
(29:10):
that was in that boiler. And the guy looked in there.
He says, you have thirty oil pal.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Oh, not your fault. But but but he was good
to tell you. What did you have to do clean
it up?
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Oh? Yeah, we used the push and we vacuumed it
and I had to change the fuel filter and uh
I ended up getting oil from somebody else after.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That, you know, Oh yeah, oh absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I mean it cost you money to clean up their mistake.
Totally with you, I know.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
But the thing is the people I use now, I
changed the filter myself. There he is. Sometimes I take
it out and it looks like I did in a
week ago. That's how clean it is. You know, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Well, if you're handy and you and you're able to
do that, that's so that is so important. That is
that's something you got it absolutely. Hey John, I'm up
my break, so I gotta let you go safe driving home.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Okay, Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Have a good night then YouTube John, talk to you soon.
Good night.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
All right, I got some lines open here. I got
Peg in New Hampshire. She's going to be up after
the break. Matter of fact, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna take Peg right now because I'm not gonna
make her away. And I need to know from you
what are you paying for gas? And where are you?
Where are you getting it? What state are you from?
Where in New England. Are you're from. We had Joel
early in this hour who found a gas buddy location
(30:34):
that he thought was great because I told him exactly
what he would pay in every town, and he actually
found a station in Wellesley near Natick where they're charging
two thirty nine a gallon. I can remember as a
kid when I say, as a kid, when I first
had a car, you could you could get gasoline for
nineteen cents.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I remember. It's a place called hat Offs in Forest
Hills in.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Jamaica. Oh, Jamaica. Plane at Roslindale. Peg is in New Hampshire. Peg,
I'm going to take a gamble here. You were next
on nightside. Thanks for calling in, Peg, haven't talked in
a while.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I know, how are you Dan?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I'm doing great. How you been? Everything good?
Speaker 9 (31:13):
I hope everything's good. I just get in the car too,
like I can't come in the middle of a conversation
if I don't understand it.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Yes, I understand yesterday, what are.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
You paying up there in New Hampshire, assuming you're buying
in New Hampshire.
Speaker 9 (31:28):
I am, I am, I'm right over the line. I'm
in the Londonderry area. So today I either paid. It
was either two ninety four or ninety six, but I
passed the station and I can't tell you what station
it was, but I literally turned my head and said,
that can say two seventy something, because I'll, you know,
like twenty cents different. Yeah, but I'll have to look
(31:51):
at that on my way to work tomorrow to see
if I can find that. But I swear I saw
that at a different station.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Well.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Funny thing about it is Massachusetts only taxes us a
lot more than they tax than they tax than New
Hampshire taxes their citizens. But when it comes to gas tax,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire almost identical. Our tax on regular
gas and on diesel is twenty four cents. In New
(32:20):
Hampshire it's twenty three point eight three cents on both
gas and diesel, which means there's probably not a huge
difference on one side or the other side of the
state line between Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Speaker 9 (32:35):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
And you you remember I just moved to It hasn't
even been a year that I moved up here from
just over the line. And it was funny because I
did all my shopping over the porter because it was
just a few miles upthroat.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Well, you could save money.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
You could save money shopping for a lot of things,
but I don't think gasoline's going So you said, you
have paid how much?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Give me the number one more time?
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Today?
Speaker 9 (33:01):
It was either to ninety seven or to ninety four.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I think it was. Well, it was that I'm in Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I'm in Massachusetts and yesterday I paid two ninety four,
and I'm so we're I'm a I'm in a very
different part of the state. I'm not near the New
Hampshire border. Uh, so we're paying pretty much the same here.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Who do you who do you give.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Credit to on that or or is it just a
function of the marketplace in your mind?
Speaker 9 (33:31):
I think it's a little bit, a little bit of
the marketplace. I also think it's some politicians. Somebody's doing something.
Somebody has to be Yeah, yeah, So I honestly do
think it's a combination of both. I think without the
political influence, maybe we'd see maybe a little bit less
right now, and vice versa. You know, regarding me, what
(33:55):
did you just call that? He said, a very bill?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
What are you looking for?
Speaker 9 (34:01):
Yeah, I'm missing the words. It's but anyways, I'll just
skip that. But yeah, I think it's both political and
just where we are located and whatnot. So I think
it's a combination of both.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah. Well, I think the fact that we have taken
a position that we're going to drill more with this administration,
I think that's going to lower the price of gas. Now, again,
there are a lot of people who who look at
drilling more and lowering the price.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Of gasoline, particularly folks who are more concerned about climate change.
They say, Hey, all that's going to do is put
more pollutants in the air because people are going to
be feeling that they can drive further.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Father, I should say. And so there's an argument on
the other side against that. But from a point of view.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Of how much money I want to spend, I'm very
happy to spend less money.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
I don't think we give the earth enough credit. The
Earth is going to pretty much take care of itself.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
We have a responsibility.
Speaker 9 (35:00):
Climate change has gone a little too.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Far, all right, I believe it at that, Thanks Peg,
appreciate the call. Good night.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
All right, this subject I got wide open lines, which
I hate to see.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I'm gonna go to a commercial break, so I would
invite you to give me a call and tell me
how much you've been paying for gas lately.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
And are you happy about it or does it matter?
A lot of people get mad when the price of
gas goes up. That's easy to get people to call
the station. When gas goes up to four dollars a gallon,
we're going to be five dollars a gallon. Gas is
pretty reasonable right now. Historically it's less than three dollars Nationally.
(35:45):
I'd love to hear from as many folks as possible
in the next few minutes, particularly from different states. How
much are you paying where you live? And how much
are you paying here in New England. I know what
the tax rates are here in New England, New Hampshire,
and Massachusetts. I'm not bad, uh, compared to the other states, ironically,
(36:08):
I think Vermont, well, Vermont is a little bit higher. Yeah,
Massachusetts New Hampshire are the lowest. Vermont and Maine are
probably the best. Uh at this point. Connecticut is higher, certainly.
And let me see Rhode Island. We'll finish it off
with Rhode Island. Yeah, Rhode Island's higher six one seven,
(36:28):
six one seven nine thirty. We can burn through a
bunch of calls. Join the conversation. I'll get to you,
I promise coming back.
Speaker 7 (36:36):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on wb Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Are we got three calls. We're going to go through
them quickly. Let me go to Christian in Peavity. Hey, Christian,
thanks for calling back. What you pay for gas recently?
Here in Massachusetts?
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Go to New Hampshire Hampton? Pay two fifty five?
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Aga?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Whoa, that's the difference? What is that? Wow?
Speaker 2 (36:59):
The the taxes in Massachusetts and Connecticut and the gallon
gas for each twenty four cents, So two fifty nine
that's not bad?
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah? Is that a major, you know, mobile or shallow
something like that?
Speaker 5 (37:17):
Or is that an one is a prime and the
other one is the snow?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Oh man, that's great. You get a little gas war
going up there? What town again?
Speaker 5 (37:27):
That would be in Hampton and in Seabrooks.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Sounds great. Appreciate it, Christian, Thank you for the call.
Helped me out a lot. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Thanks buddy. We're gonna go next to Barb in Bridgewater.
Barb next on Nightside. How much you pay for gas
up there and down there in Bridgewater?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Dan, Well, it's been about over a week that I
paid two.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Man, I'm thinking I'm doing well paying to ninety four.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
No, and I think I haven't been buy it lately.
That I think is probably down to about two forty
five now it seems to be coming down. One thing.
I don't think anybody mentioned I pay cash for my guess, Yes,
me too, I get so I get the discount. Yeah, absolutely,
it's probably maybe three or four cents more if you
(38:17):
use your credit card. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Absolutelyah, absolutely, there's no whenever you can bye bye with cash.
Cash is king, Bob. Thank you, mich A.
Speaker 6 (38:26):
It's a Gulf station on Rude eighteen right innees Bridge Water.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
All right, thanks Bob, appreciate your call. Thank you much.
Speaker 2 (38:32):

Go ahead, Mike, Mike.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
Hey, hey, Daran, first time caller on my way home

All right, for the route of applause for my digital watings.
Thank you, sir. Give us how much are you paying

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Okay, that's if you get it for two sixty. I
like that.

That's a good one, Pape, but like that place is
a little scary.

Hey, thanks so much for calling in. You've helped me
out a lot.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Here.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
We're gonna go to Indiana next. Thanks, Mike, talk to
you soon.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
We're gonna go from Mike in Hudson, New Hampshire to
Don in Indiana. Don, I'm guessing that in Indiana your
gas prices are going to be pretty darn good.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Right now? What are you what are you paying?
Speaker 5 (39:29):
Well? I think you overestimate Okay, right now, yesterday paid
two ninety nine at a local shell station.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Okay, that's typical.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
I think Indiana has somewhat HIGH'R gasoline taxes, Yes they do.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You're you're up not much.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
You're your thirty five cents, so that's ten cents more,
eleven cents more than us. All Right, Mike, I gotta
let you run. Thanks so much for calling. We'll talk again.
Thank you sir, good night, good night, done for the night.
How much did you say, Rob? Twenty seconds? Okay, I
want to thank Rob. I want to thank Marita, want
to thank all the callers, want to thank all the listeners.
Remind you, all dogs, all cats, all pets go to heaven.
(40:06):
That's my pale Charlie Rayes, who passed fifteen years ago
in February. That's all your pets are who had passed.
They loved you and you loved them. You will see
them again. I hope to see you again tomorrow night
on Nightside, and I'll see you on Facebook in just
a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Nights Out with Dan ray Thanks everyone of a great Wednesday.
Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah, you know, Dan, I don't want to be a downer,
but ten percent of the hockey season is over. Yeah,
ten percent of lying by season is over. It's not
even Halloween, man.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Not even Halloween. The Bruins have already lost five straight.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's tough. Oh they're gonna ruin. My winter hasn't even
started yet.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh this is horrible. Yeah, I felt I was glad
to see Marcian back tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Though.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It was a really nice moment, really nice moment.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Absolutely. I mean he was he was as uh he was.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
He was the quintessential Boston brewin player, you know, goes
back to the lunch bucket era of Johnny mackenzie and
those guys.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
You know, hard working. Yeah, I got it, went after
it every single night. I mean you never you never
questioned his effort. That was for sure. You might have
some other things he just sometimes, but never question his effort,
that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
And a character he's been good for hockey.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Oh absolutely.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
And I was hoping the Bruins. I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I was hoping the Bruins would bring him back during
free agency this summer.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
But Florida opened the check book. That's really all you
can say about that, for well, that's the Bruins weren't
going to give him that.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
But yeah, no, I get it. I get it. Uh
and and he's what thirty seven?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Now I believe so yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, I mean he'll you know you heard me, jargon
is playing in.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I saw that thirty eighth professional season at fifty three
years old.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, I mean yeah, you gotta you, Gottaus. These guys
love hockey, you got they love it.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
They're not ready to go full men's league. So if
they if someone's gonna pay for him to play, though,
they'll get on the ice.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's for sure. He'll slide into the sixty year over
He'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Sure, why not?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Thanks Dan, I appreciate it very much, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
All Right, everybody, Hey, the brew lost, but it's only tempers.
They have ninety percent of the season left. Let's look
at it. Let's let's look at it as half full,
not half empty. But five games down in a row.
I know there was a road trip there, I get it.
But whatever, Okay, here's what I want to We have
(02:18):
been mentioning for a couple of nights.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Now we're going to talk about some good news. We
often talk.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
About bad news here on night Side, and that's that's
the way people are, That's the way we are. We
talk about planes that crash, not not plays that land.
To me, it's a miracle that every that any plane lands,
and it's a miracle that every plane doesn't. I still
don't understand the the aeronautics of it, which is which
(02:43):
allows to get this humongous craft up in the air
flying five hundred and fifty or six hundred miles an
hour at thirty five thousand feet. But we'll save that
for another day. Gas prices are down down to the
lowest levels in four years. You got to go back
to really the days of the pandemic. When you think
(03:06):
about it, this would take us back to twenty twenty one.
The pandemic was still going on, COVID nineteen was still
going on. Gas Buddy is reporting nationwide the average for gasoline.
And again I assume this is a gallon of regular gasoline.
I don't assume that this includes high test and all
(03:27):
of that. But it's two ninety eight a gallon.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Now there are for those of you who do not
realize it, and I hope you do. Every gallon of
gasoline you buy, there is a price in there for
the state tax gasoline tax. I have to go back
and refresh my recollection. Maybe someone has it off the
top of the head. California is very expensive. I think
(03:50):
California's like forty five cents a gallon, which contributes to
the fact that they may be the highest in the nation.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And I'm during the break, I will find it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Massachusetts we're like an eighteen cents a gallon, So that
means if you fill up with ten gallons, there will
be what a buck eighty If it's eighteen cents a gallon?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You just do the math. Bottom line is what are
you paying.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
For gas these days? I'm paying abound two ninety four.
I'd love to know where you're paying. There's my favorite
gas station which is on Route nine. Gary's gas Station
right over. If you crossover going Root nine West and
you are going from Newton towards Wellesley and you have
(04:38):
Gary's in the right, that gasoline station is always I
think very reasonable.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And as a matter of fact, they do. I think
it's a.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Sixth cent off cash on Sundays. So the bottom line
is that we were over four dollars in Massachusetts in
some parts of the country. Five if you happen to
live in a far away state. So far tonight, all
of our callers have been Massachusetts callers, which is great
(05:09):
because we dealt with a quintessentially Massachusetts story. So now,
if you're listening in any of the thirty eight states
where our voice is heard, as well as on the
internet across the country and around the world, love to
know what you're paying for gasoline and are you surprised
that gasoline is down. I know that there were a
(05:31):
lot of concerns earlier this year about tariffs and how
they might impact the economy, and I guess they have
had some impact on some products. But just looking at gasoline,
gasoline is such an incredibly important product because everything that
you buy that is delivered to your to your local
(05:53):
grocery store, to your local hardware store, to you if
you go into a card shop, whatever, if you if
you go everything you if you go into a beauty
so on. Everything there at some point has been on
a truck.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And inflation is seemingly under control.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I mean, I know there are items that have gone up,
and we can talk about that some night. There are
different food items that's went up, and they haven't brought
the price down. I avoid them fruit and vegetables, I
think is still pretty reasonable.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I shop.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I'm a I'm a grocery store shopper, but I want
to focus on gasoline. So I want to open up
the phone lines and I want to hear from you.
Six one seven thirty. Are you pleased?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
You have to be. I can't imagine anybody is displayed,
Oh I can.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I can conjure up someone who doesn't drive a car,
uh and is concerned about what cars do to the atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
They might be concerned, and.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
They'd like to see this as an opportunity for gas
to access to be to be raised. But I'm not
looking for that. I expect most of you aren't as well.
So I'm gonna ask you to feel free to join
the conversation. I'm gonna take We got Joel already. I'm
gonna not allow Joel to wait. I'm gonna take Joel.
See what Joel has to say. We'll take a quick
break in the meantime. Six one seven two ten thirty,
(07:19):
six one seven nine thirty. Gas prices are down across
the country. Triple A here in Massachusetts agrees gas Buddy agrees,
and I'm interested if you agree. Hey, Joel, welcome to back,
Welcome back to Night's side, Joel and Natick. Hi, Joel,
how are you?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I'm doing fine?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Dan?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
How are you going good?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
How's your gas cost? Where are you getting your gas
these days? And when is it costing you?
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Well, let me give you a sworthint. Go to you
go to guessbuddy dot com. Yep, and you put in Massachusetts,
and then you put in Boston, and it gives you
all the towns in the Boston area. Okay, and for
each town it tells you where I have how much
the gas the lowest price get for each town?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Great?
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Okay, So yesterday I did a study for you, okay,
with all the towns, and I found out that Wellesley
is a gas station called Mike's Gas is charging two
thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Two nine for regular I mean obviously regular regular.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
That's not like a one that's that's not a one
day only.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Right, not that I know of.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Wow, that is that's amazing. Where where is his station located?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Luton nine Luten nine, heading wet On, not heading towards
from Wellesley Tenatick.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Oh oh that wow? Two thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I kind of imagine price any price of being lower
than that. Wow, that is amazing. Uh and that's from
gas buddies.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Oh yeah wow. So and Framingham the gas goes for
two forty nine. Yeah, and you bet for the gas
close with two forty eight. Wow, Avington two fifty seven.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Those are some really low prices.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I'm hoping some of our listeners are going to call
in and claim ownership of those stations. By the way,
I'm looking at a chart here, Massachusetts is now twenty
four cents for gasoline and also for diesel. California is
almost sixty cents for gasoline, so I misspoke. They were
(09:34):
about fifty nine point six. I'm gonna call that sixty
cents and forty five cents for diesel. The cheapest that
I can see real quickly is Alaska is ninth cents
per gallon. So that's going to have a huge difference
if you depending upon the state in which you live.
Maryland is forty seven cents a gallon. That's pretty expensive.
(09:56):
Connecticut is fifty two and a half cents a gallon.
That's pretty expensive. Hawaii. Hawaii is only sixteen cents on
both diesel.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
And regular gasoline.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, these I'm assuming these are up to date numbers.
New York is twenty four sixth almost the same as
as Massachusetts. We're twenty four in New York Is, says
a little more expensive. Pennsylvania fifty seven cents. That's a
big number in Pennsylvania. Yeah, there's not a lot of
(10:34):
rhyme or reason here. Vermont only thirty three cents more
than Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Let me see what Maine is.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
And again this is the tax you pay thirty cents,
so the cheapest one in New England understandably. New Hampshire
twenty three cents. Twenty three point eight cents a gallon
for taxes. So yeah, but you did it. You did
it great tooth thirty nine. Maybe some of some of
(11:02):
their customers will call in Joel, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Dan, Okay, absolutely good.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
Not all brand names a been a big lowest. You'll
find that the Momin Popstards sometimes Oa, then Sinoko, Golf Mobile.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yes, absolutely, and correct me if I'm wrong. But the
reason is that Sunoco and Golf don't allow anybody to
buy their gas. So there's will there's some stations that
will say like Victory Gas, which not what you call
your your new national labels. I think that Gary's station,
(11:41):
the one on Route nine going west.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Right over one twenty eighth UH is Victory. I believe
it is Victory gas.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But it's your car runs on it just as good.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
So also he's got Jays Costco and stuff up and Shop.
Now if you belong, if you belong to Stop and Shop,
you can get you can save money by going to Shell.
Can you save ten cents a gallon on show gasoline?
When you have to spend spend the you know the
dollar amount at Stop and Shop. So if you spend
(12:18):
one hundred dollars you get you get ten cents off
the gallon at Shell and then mobile if you're a
senior citizen, Tomorrow is double points day. And also because
before couple thirty. First, if you sell U with eight
gallons or more, you'll get two hundred points at Mobile,
(12:40):
and if you spend five dollars in the store you
get another two hundred points.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
All right, Well, again.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I'm not into those because I tend to try to
go to the same station because one of the things
I'm concerned about is getting consistency of gas in my car,
because if my car is one and fine.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I don't want to mess with others and you know,
but that's all.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
You're saving money, Joel, which is which is a fine
thing to do, particularly now with the prices down a
little less important, but you're still saving money, Joel. Thank
you for doing the homework for me. A should get
you a production credit on tonight's show. Okay, thanks Joel,
Thank one. Talk to you soon. Quick break on nights
(13:24):
side one line at six one thirty and two at
six one, seven, nine, three, ten thirty.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Gas prices are down.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
You can credit the administration, you can blame the administration,
you can do whatever you want, or you can say
the administration doesn't have a role in this.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I am giving you an opportunity to express either your
appreciation uh or you'll lack thereof. But it is better
when gas prices are down. I can remember the gas
lines from the late seventies. I don't ever want to
go through that again. And if we are going to
have East in the Middle East, that's gonna help with
gas prices as well. Coming right, and by the way,
(14:05):
I'll double check the price of a barrel of oil,
But I think those prices are down now in the
high fifties. I mean, there was a time of a
barrel of oil in my memory and your memory is
up one thirty, one hundred and forty dollars. That that
that drove the price of gasoline up a lot six
one seven, two thirty or six one seven, nine three,
(14:27):
one ten thirty.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Coming right back on night.
Speaker 7 (14:29):
Side night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Crude oil futures fifty seven dollars and ninety eight cents
fifty eight dollars a barrel.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
It's up a little bit today.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
But if you if you look at this over a
period of let's say five years, there was a point
in twenty twenty two where.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
The price of a barrel of oil was one hundred
and twenty dollars. It went as low. If we go
back five years here to twenty twenty one, it was
down to forty dollars again.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I just think that we're lucky right now, and oil
futures are pretty stable right now. They're near twenty four
week lows. That augurs well. As a matter of fact,
gas Buddies is saying that gas prices are more likely
to drop than to increase. That's going to help all
(15:44):
of us. It's also going to help with inflation because
that doesn't have to Yeah, look it's obvious where we're
going next. Let we go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill,
by the way, I just before I take you here, Bill,
I want to add, Remember I mentioned California was fifty
nine cents, it's actually sixty cents on. On top of that,
they also hit you with a gasoline excise tax in
(16:06):
California of seven point twenty five cents. So that means
for every gallon of gasoline you buy in California, it's
costing you in taxes sixty seven cents.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
In Connecticut, which they.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Have a six point three five percent, So if you
live in Connecticut, you're paying fifty two. You're paying close
to sixty cents a gallon. Not as bad as California.
If you live in Michigan or Illinois, you can tack
on another six percent. Michigan is thirty one, tack on
six that gets you to thirty seven. Illinois is a
(16:43):
relatively high state, forty seven cents a gallon. Tack on
seven fifty four cents a gallon, So they have different
ways here. Let me go next to Bill in Pennsylvania Bill.
Appreciate you calling in. What do you pay for gas
in Pennsylvania these days?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Well, man at Barri's or it's kind of weird because
I'm kind of like right in the middle of the state,
and right around here is today I paid three thirty seven.
But then if I went north here, oh, maybe about
one hundred miles up there, it's like three twelve. But
(17:19):
and you mentioned California. Here in Pennsylvania, every gallon of gas,
every gallon of gas that I put in my car,
the state charges me sixty two cents.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well I got you at fifty according to my chart
here fifty seven cents.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
So well maybe it went down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
But well, this is this is a chart that says
what it says state motor fuel tax rates. You're twenty
twenty five, so I'm going to assume this is accurate.
But it's close to what you said, fifty seven cents,
and if you do diesel, it's seventy four cents. You
have quite some states are the same. So for example,
Oregon is forty cents either way gas or diesel. Your
(18:01):
fifty seven fifty eight cents for gas and seventy five
cents for diesel.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Yeah, and uh and I mean we're we're sitting on
top of an oil reserve here and a natural gas
reserve here. Every every household in Pennsylvania. Okay, it could
be on natural gas, could be heating and cooling with
natural gas.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
But you know, why, why is that not happening? Why
is that not happening? Have your politicians?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
I don't, I don't, I don't know. You know, there's
some some of the older towns. Then every everybody's hooked
up the gas. But maybe it's because everything's spread out
like today. But you know, the the fracking.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
If it wasn't for fracking, this state would be would
be uh a lot poorer, I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, I mean I can remember the controversy about fracking.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Now it seems to be I think an accepted a
procedure as I as I understaid. I'm not an oil
uh investor in any way, shape or form. I have
invested previously with with a friend of mine who was
involved in oil wells. Some of them were good, some
of them were bad. I think probably at the end
(19:17):
of the day was a wash. But I learned a
lot about oil wells and you know, you have these
geological surveys and they think there's a lot of gas
down a lot of oil down there, and it turns
out to be a dry hole, and.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
You have to And I could tell you, I could
tell you one thing. I haven't run into one person
Dan in the last two weeks it mentioned anything of
anything about a government setdown. Not one.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Well that's a story maybe for tomorrow night, okay, But
I don't want to open up another can of worms.
I want to stick with see what people are paying.
So you paid today? How much you've told me you
paid three?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
What?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Three?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Fifty? Okay?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Well I could I paid yesterday to ninety four. So
I'm forty five cents below you, and a good punk,
a good chunk of that is the difference.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We pay twenty four cents in state tax.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You pay, well, fifty seven cents, fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Cents seven, ok Okay, that's okay. So that's a that's
a difference.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
That's a difference right there when you look at it,
twenty twenty four from fifty seven you're talking, that's thirty
three cents. If you were paying our taxes, you'd be
down to three pretty close to three dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You said you're three thirty seven or three.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Thirty ninety seven.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, take away thirty seven cents, you'd be three zero two.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
And I hope they're spending your money wisely in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Bill, I'm pending all my money on my granddaughters.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
No, but I'm talking about the state.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Thanks Bill talking now, No, forget about it, forget about it.
We got the worst roads. We got the worst road here, Dan,
that when he's supposed to be spent for these potholes.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
But you got a great nickname, the Keystone State. I mean,
that's such a great nick name.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Hey, Hey Dan, Hey Dan, I'm starting to come around now.
I think I think I like Fetterman.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Well, he's an independent Democrat, and I don't think the
Democrats like independent Democrat.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
At least they're gonna primary. They're going to primary him
as soon as they get a champ.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Well, if you like him, support them.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Thanks Bill talk, you will have a great nowe here
comes the news at the bottom of the hour. Okay,
one line at six one seven, two, five, four ten thirty.
Couple at six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty.
I want to know, particularly for those of you in
New England and around the country. How much are you
paying for gas these days? I can tell you how
much you're paying in taxes. Uh, and what part of
(21:50):
your you know? Tell me how much you pay per gallon.
I'll tell you how much taxes represent in that gallon.
So for example, here in Massachusetts, we have a twenty
four cent tax that goes right to the state for
every gallon. Every gallon, So that means if I fill
up my gas tank and I buy ten gallons of gas,
(22:10):
two dollars and forty cents of that purchase price goes
in Taxas to call out of Massachusetts six seven two
one line six one seven nine three one. Last night
we had a great group of callers, and we had
a lot of first time callers. This is an easy
one become a first time caller. We'll give you a
(22:31):
round of applause. Coming back on night Side.
Speaker 7 (22:36):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Back to the phones we go. Let me go to
Dallas in Ohio. Hey, Dallas, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
How are you.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Pretty good?
Speaker 6 (22:48):
Dan?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Yourself?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I'm doing just great. What do you what you pay
for gas out in Ohio?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Well, I just got gas this afternoon, and uh, I
paid two dollars and forty nine cents a gallon.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Really, yeah, that's quite.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It fluctuates from time to time. Uh, but I go
to a specific location every time I put fuel in
my vehicle.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
How well, how far from where you live? How far
do they have to drive to get there?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Probably about two and a half miles.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Well that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I mean, it's not like you're driving, you know, and
burning you know, ten gallons of gas to get there.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So you said, you said two fifty nine.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
That is, by the way, you pay thirty eight and
a half cents in taxes, So if you were, if
you if that tax was taken away, you'd be in
actuality paying about.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Two ten a gallon, right right, that's great. And by
the way, is that a brand gas station or is that,
you know, one of the sort of more independent type stations.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Oh, Sam's Club, good.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
For you, that's great. I used to be a member
of Sam's Club. They had a Sam's Club in Natick,
which was near where I lived. Uh, and then they
closed it up and moved on. I liked Sam's Club,
but I don't want to drive twenty miles. It has
to be it has to be convenient. Well, good for you,
(24:31):
and you never have a problem with the gas. It's
not like your your engine stutters or or sputters or
anything like that.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
It was good, guess, no, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And how high?
Speaker 2 (24:43):
What's the biggest the highest number at the worst that
it was where you lived in pen where you live
in Pennsylvania. How high did they ever get up to
four dollars.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
At one time?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
It did.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Now except chamber. I went in September, I have a
price of two sixty seven, two dollars and sixty seven cents.
And then and then at the beginning I went back
again at the beginning of October, October to third, and
I paid two dollars and forty cents a gallon.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Okay, well, campus coming down is going in the right direction, Dallas.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I'm I'm happy for you. That's good, got that right,
you know.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
And hopefully we can keep gas prices down and that
will keep inflation down and everybody will have a few
more dollars in their pockets. So I'm somebody who I
believe we got a drill, we can drill offshore, drilling
up in the reserves, up in up in Alaska and drill.
(25:43):
You know, I want to be respectful of mother nature.
I'm not looking to deplete the supply, but I think
there's a lot of fossil fuel left in the ground
which we can safely extract.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
That's right, simple as that. Dallas.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Always great to hear your voice. Thank you for taking
the time tonight. We'll talk sooner.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I appreciate Dan. Nice talk soon.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Right back at you.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Okay, bye bye, okay, bye bye.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
B six ten thirty Gonna go to John in New York,
JAA Hey John, welcome back.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
How are you.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
I'm trying. How about you, Dan, I'm doing great.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
So what are you paying in New York these days
for a gas?
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Well, I just pulled out of a place station here
a few minutes ago of three twelve a gallon.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
For New York.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
That's not bad. You you have a relatively for New York.
You you only pay the same as Massachusetts. I really am
concerned about you know, you pay twenty four cents a gallon,
uh for for state taxes, So that's pretty close to Massachusetts.
We're twenty four, you're twenty four, twenty six. We'll call it.
(26:55):
We'll call it square. Now the two cheapest states for
guests for gas tax says ironically, and I don't understand this.
Alaska nine cents a gallon and Hawaii's sixteen cents a gallon.
I have no idea why those two states. Arizona is
only eighteen cents, but Alaska and Hawaii are the two
(27:16):
least expensive states in terms of taxes. Now maybe maybe, uh,
Hawaii has huge taxes on tourism. That could be a
factor as well, so that's possible.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Yes, And Alaska, Yeah, there's enough money on their pineapples.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Maybe maybe.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
And Alaska I think has a lot of boil up
there anyway. And I think people in Alaska who are
citizens of Alaska still get a payment from the government
for simply being a citizen of Alaska, which isn't a
bad deal when you think about it, if you can
stay in the winter.
Speaker 8 (27:55):
By the way, I want to mention to you. I
heard you earlier say about how you feel more comfortable
buying the gas at the same place all the time. Yeah,
you are one hundred percent correct. I'll tell you why,
because I've seen people go to different places that are
cheap and they get water in the gas, you know,
(28:15):
I mean sometimes water runs down to fill a pipe
into the tank at the station.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
You get it, you know.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
And one thing, another thing I want to mention to
you is I used to have a fuel oil company.
They're closed now, but they used to use a tanker
truck that they've used it for different purposes. They hold
gasoline in it, they hold fuel oil in it. Different
grades of fuel oil they delivered to the school. Which
is it boil? It's like number five oil, like that
(28:43):
sludge that they have a free heat.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah that's not good. You know that's not good.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Oh, no, it's not. I didn't know this, but I
was buying number two fuel oil from them, and one
time I had an incident. It was a December there
was snow on the ground right before Christmas. My oil
of backfire. That smoked him out of the right. So
I called the guy in because I usually work on
stuff myself. Being so close to the holiday, I just
got something comm in. You should have seen the soot
(29:10):
that was in that boiler. And the guy looked in there.
He says, you have thirty oil pal.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Oh, not your fault. But but but he was good
to tell you. What did you have to do clean
it up?
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Oh? Yeah, we used the push and we vacuumed it
and I had to change the fuel filter and uh
I ended up getting oil from somebody else after.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That, you know, Oh yeah, oh absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I mean it cost you money to clean up their mistake.
Totally with you, I know.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
But the thing is the people I use now, I
changed the filter myself. There he is. Sometimes I take
it out and it looks like I did in a
week ago. That's how clean it is. You know, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Well, if you're handy and you and you're able to
do that, that's so that is so important. That is
that's something you got it absolutely. Hey John, I'm up
my break, so I gotta let you go safe driving home.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Okay, Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Have a good night then YouTube John, talk to you soon.
Good night.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
All right, I got some lines open here. I got
Peg in New Hampshire. She's going to be up after
the break. Matter of fact, you know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna take Peg right now because I'm not gonna
make her away. And I need to know from you
what are you paying for gas? And where are you?
Where are you getting it? What state are you from?
Where in New England. Are you're from. We had Joel
early in this hour who found a gas buddy location
(30:34):
that he thought was great because I told him exactly
what he would pay in every town, and he actually
found a station in Wellesley near Natick where they're charging
two thirty nine a gallon. I can remember as a
kid when I say, as a kid, when I first
had a car, you could you could get gasoline for
nineteen cents.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I remember. It's a place called hat Offs in Forest
Hills in.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Jamaica. Oh, Jamaica. Plane at Roslindale. Peg is in New Hampshire. Peg,
I'm going to take a gamble here. You were next
on nightside. Thanks for calling in, Peg, haven't talked in
a while.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I know, how are you Dan?
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I'm doing great. How you been? Everything good?
Speaker 9 (31:13):
I hope everything's good. I just get in the car too,
like I can't come in the middle of a conversation
if I don't understand it.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Yes, I understand yesterday, what are.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
You paying up there in New Hampshire, assuming you're buying
in New Hampshire.
Speaker 9 (31:28):
I am, I am, I'm right over the line. I'm
in the Londonderry area. So today I either paid. It
was either two ninety four or ninety six, but I
passed the station and I can't tell you what station
it was, but I literally turned my head and said,
that can say two seventy something, because I'll, you know,
like twenty cents different. Yeah, but I'll have to look
(31:51):
at that on my way to work tomorrow to see
if I can find that. But I swear I saw
that at a different station.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Well.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Funny thing about it is Massachusetts only taxes us a
lot more than they tax than they tax than New
Hampshire taxes their citizens. But when it comes to gas tax,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire almost identical. Our tax on regular
gas and on diesel is twenty four cents. In New
(32:20):
Hampshire it's twenty three point eight three cents on both
gas and diesel, which means there's probably not a huge
difference on one side or the other side of the
state line between Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Speaker 9 (32:35):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
And you you remember I just moved to It hasn't
even been a year that I moved up here from
just over the line. And it was funny because I
did all my shopping over the porter because it was
just a few miles upthroat.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Well, you could save money.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
You could save money shopping for a lot of things,
but I don't think gasoline's going So you said, you
have paid how much?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Give me the number one more time?
Speaker 6 (33:00):
Today?
Speaker 9 (33:01):
It was either to ninety seven or to ninety four.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I think it was. Well, it was that I'm in Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I'm in Massachusetts and yesterday I paid two ninety four,
and I'm so we're I'm a I'm in a very
different part of the state. I'm not near the New
Hampshire border. Uh, so we're paying pretty much the same here.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Who do you who do you give.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Credit to on that or or is it just a
function of the marketplace in your mind?
Speaker 9 (33:31):
I think it's a little bit, a little bit of
the marketplace. I also think it's some politicians. Somebody's doing something.
Somebody has to be Yeah, yeah, So I honestly do
think it's a combination of both. I think without the
political influence, maybe we'd see maybe a little bit less
right now, and vice versa. You know, regarding me, what
(33:55):
did you just call that? He said, a very bill?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
What are you looking for?
Speaker 9 (34:01):
Yeah, I'm missing the words. It's but anyways, I'll just
skip that. But yeah, I think it's both political and
just where we are located and whatnot. So I think
it's a combination of both.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah. Well, I think the fact that we have taken
a position that we're going to drill more with this administration,
I think that's going to lower the price of gas. Now, again,
there are a lot of people who who look at
drilling more and lowering the price.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Of gasoline, particularly folks who are more concerned about climate change.
They say, Hey, all that's going to do is put
more pollutants in the air because people are going to
be feeling that they can drive further.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Father, I should say. And so there's an argument on
the other side against that. But from a point of view.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Of how much money I want to spend, I'm very
happy to spend less money.
Speaker 9 (34:54):
I don't think we give the earth enough credit. The
Earth is going to pretty much take care of itself.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
We have a responsibility.
Speaker 9 (35:00):
Climate change has gone a little too.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Far, all right, I believe it at that, Thanks Peg,
appreciate the call. Good night.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
All right, this subject I got wide open lines, which
I hate to see.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I'm gonna go to a commercial break, so I would
invite you to give me a call and tell me
how much you've been paying for gas lately.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
And are you happy about it or does it matter?
A lot of people get mad when the price of
gas goes up. That's easy to get people to call
the station. When gas goes up to four dollars a gallon,
we're going to be five dollars a gallon. Gas is
pretty reasonable right now. Historically it's less than three dollars Nationally.
(35:45):
I'd love to hear from as many folks as possible
in the next few minutes, particularly from different states. How
much are you paying where you live? And how much
are you paying here in New England. I know what
the tax rates are here in New England, New Hampshire,
and Massachusetts. I'm not bad, uh, compared to the other states, ironically,
(36:08):
I think Vermont, well, Vermont is a little bit higher. Yeah,
Massachusetts New Hampshire are the lowest. Vermont and Maine are
probably the best. Uh at this point. Connecticut is higher, certainly.
And let me see Rhode Island. We'll finish it off
with Rhode Island. Yeah, Rhode Island's higher six one seven,
(36:28):
six one seven nine thirty. We can burn through a
bunch of calls. Join the conversation. I'll get to you,
I promise coming back.
Speaker 7 (36:36):

them quickly. Let me go to Christian in Peavity. Hey, Christian,

Speaker 4 (36:53):
Aga?
Speaker 1 (36:54):

Speaker 2 (36:59):
The the taxes in Massachusetts and Connecticut and the gallon
gas for each twenty four cents, So two fifty nine
that's not bad?
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah? Is that a major, you know, mobile or shallow
something like that?
Speaker 5 (37:17):

other one is the snow?

five now it seems to be coming down. One thing.
