This is my gas station for a variety of reasons. They are open when I leave for work which is unusual because I get there between 3:45 am - 5 am each weekday. The other reason I became extremely loyal to them is their lottery ticket rule. You cannot scratch off your lotto tickets at the counter or in line.

This is also where I gauge where gas prices are going. This gas station always appears to be on the lower-middle end of gas prices in the Greater-Danbury area. Just a few weeks ago (8/4/22) we told you that the gas prices there had dipped to below $4.

As usual BJ's and Costco are the lowest in the region. According to Gas Buddy Costco is currently $3.77, while BJ's is $3.79. So where is this station compared to others in the area? Here are some of those numbers:

Irving/Citgo - Brookfield - $3.83
Mobil - Danbury - Backus Avenue - $4.69
Shell - Danbury - Newtown Road - $4.09
Gulf - Danbury - Main Street - $3.81
Citgo - New Milford - East Street - $3.87
Valero - New Milford - Danbury Road - $3.90
Sunoco - New Milford - Danbury Road - $3.95
Cumberland Farms - New Milford - Danbury Road - #3.93
Shell - Ridgefield - Danbury Road - $4.69
Valero - Ridgefield - Danbury Road - $4.19
Citgo - Bethel - Greenwood Avenue - $3.77

Looking around the area, these are some of the widest disparities we have seen in prices, and Mobil is always charging the most.

Following this has been fascinating and maddening at times because like you, this is messing with my wallet.

Greater Danbury Bobcat Sightings, Too Close for Comfort

This morning (4/28/21) on the Ethan and Lou Show we were discussing a viral video from North Carolina. In it, a couple was brutally attacked by a rabid bobcat but according to USA Today, they are going to be OK.

This sent me off on a tirade about bobcats because this happens to be one of my pet peeves. In the Greater-Danbury area, wildlife sightings are frequent and when one animal gets photographed, everyone piles on and says, yeah me too You saw a bear? I saw a bear!

I made the case that too many people are claiming to have seen bobcats recently, and with no proof. I said, look I know they are prevalent but they can't be around in the numbers that people will have you believe. Every Frank and Fran in the area says they saw one yesterday.

I said, if you saw a bobcat, prove it. It looks like I may have been underestimating the bobcats and the Ethan and Lou listeners because they did prove it and in a hurry. These are the Greater-Danbury Bobcat Sightings That are Too Close for Comfort.
