Gas prices (again)
 

Has anyone noticed that gas prices have risen to outrageous levels again? In the past 3 weeks, our local prices are up .50 cents a gallon. As of today, we're at $4.19 for regular, $4.59 for premium.

Yep...two weeks ago in S Carolina I paid under 3.00

$4.09 with cash $4.19 with card here in Mi.

Right around 3.15 for regular and 3.40 for premium in Tucson/ south Phoenix. Not bad!

Couple of places here in Phoenix is at 3.09 a gallon for regular.

$3.65 here today. Never got under $3.50 the last time the market dropped from$3.30 to $2.40, Market price this morning was $2.84.

No complaints here.

Usually around $3.25/$3.35 here.
Was about 10 cents cheaper until July 4th.

Oil hasn't went up that much, probably not market driven.

:)

Mike, Im not certain, but I came in on the end of a conversation on WGN where there is a regional issue with fuel delivery. It was $3.79 in Schaumburg yesterday and today its $4.29. Usually when theres a spike like this, its that sort of a problem.

Here in South Elgin (Kane County) its still $3.79.

Mike. That's a demand spike from all those "Chicago Values" Filling up to go 100 miles out of town to buy from Chick-Fill-A.:D

$3.45 here for 87, was $3.08 a couple of weeks ago.

Actually, oil has been dropping. Now I'm hearing that the drought is responsible due to the impending corn shortages and subsequent ethanol price increases.

There is no supply/demand issue so don't expect the prices to remain high for long.

They found a pipe line from Canada to Chicago leaking in Wisconsin 7/28 that had to be shut down.
Then a refinery in Tulsa burned last nite.

87 octane is averaging $3.35 around here now. Up about $0.25 in the past 2-3 weeks.

Both of my vehicles use 93 octane, running about $3.65 to $3.75 currently.

$3.29 for regular here in Talladega AL

Please do not begin conspiracy theories regarding gasoline prices. Price spikes have been beaten to death and conspiracies disproven too many times to count. Supply/demand, world tensions, government interference in the "free market" of the product, taxes per gallon, outages, refining capacity, etc. This is a large spike, true. It will fade again.

Question: Why is there no outrage about college tuition's rise over the same period?

Not sure how it all works , oh yeah thats right supply and demand paid 2.93 a gal in Pigeon Forge three weeks ago, drove from Fl into indiana over to ohio and it was still cheaper in a tourist town, Go figure

It went from $3,27 to $3.60 here in Pa withing the last week or so.

$4 for 93 premium today in DFW. Up $.40. Obama is paying my mortgage so I don;t care how much gas costs.
