Georgia gas prices hit $3.89 as national average sets Labor Day record — Sep 7, 2026Labor Day gas prices are rising nationwide, with Georgia averaging $3.89 per gallon and Albany among the cheaper metro areas at $3.81, up almost a dollar from last year as travelers hit the road. The national average nears $4.00 per gallon due to elevated crude prices, tight refining capacity, and supply constraints, with regional differences—Savannah at about $3.96 and northwest Georgia around $3.83—reflecting a mixed but generally higher price landscape across states.

Derek Foss Savannah prices are brutal compared to the rest of the state. Refining capacity issues always seem to hit right before a holiday weekend.

Diesel prices reach record $5.85 a gallon, raising cost worries for food and goods — Sep 3, 2026Diesel prices hit record highs around $5.85 a gallon, signaling higher transportation, delivery, and consumer costs across groceries and goods as war-driven supply disruptions bite and refinery capacity remains tight.

Sam Okafor Everything I buy gets trucked in, so this hits my grocery bill twice - once from shipping and again when farmers pass on their fuel costs.

Gevo Commissions Upgrades, Expects 10%-15% Output Increase — 5dGevo reports continued progress on its North Dakota debottlenecking program at the Gevo North Dakota facility in Richardton, with a beer degassing system commissioned ahead of schedule to boost CO2 capture and enable a 10-15% increase in output—following the previously completed steam turbine project. The upgrades include a third liquefaction tank and a fifth fermenter to lift production toward a targeted 75 million gallons per year, with all assets expected to be online by the end of 2026 as part of a plan to nearly double GND output and returns.

Priya Raman Reaching 75 million gallons by late 2026 with the extra fermenter and tank will be a real test for their expansion plans.

U.S. Hosts G20 Energy Talks Amid Fuel Shock — 5dThe United States hosts a three-day G20 Energy Abundance summit in Houston with delegations from major economies and oil producers, focusing on expanding affordable baseload power, mineral supply chains, and streamlined infrastructure while Moscow’s participation and the Russia invite controversy test diplomatic lines.

Chevron CEO Warns Depleted Buffers Risk Higher Prices — Sep 11, 2026Chevron CEO Mike Wirth warned that the buffers and inventories cushioning oil prices have largely played out, signaling higher prices could persist in the coming months amid ongoing Iran-related supply disruptions. He also said Chevron will fund a $7 billion expansion in Venezuela from cash generated by existing ventures, while markets see diesel near $6 per gallon and Brent prices topping $100 as global supply remains tight.

Sam Okafor Chevron spending its own cash on the Venezuela expansion makes sense, but it won't fix the tight global supply that the CEO highlighted.

JetBlue Raises Revenue Outlook, Cuts Capacity Growth — Sep 10, 2026JetBlue trimmed its third-quarter capacity growth to 1.5%–3.5% from 3%–6% due to weather and Northeast air-traffic-control disruptions, even as it lifted its revenue outlook on strong bookings. The carrier also flagged higher fuel costs, aiming for about $3.96 per gallon in Q3, which alongside ongoing operational pressures kept non-fuel costs elevated despite resilient demand across peak and off-peak periods.

Sam Okafor Those fuel costs near four dollars a gallon plus the operational headaches will likely keep pressure on profits no matter how steady demand looks.
