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.

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. |

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

Gasbuddy.com said last week that he price in the midwest was going to go up.. There was a fire last night at an OK refinery too.
Time to build some state of the art refineries so that there is more capacity. Greg |

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.

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.

Latest raise is because of the poor corn crop. I'd be happy to pay more for gas as long as they take the freekin ethanol out of it. At least we'd get better gas milage and better running engines. My new lawnmower, trimmer, plus the GTO, Jeep, and Taurus run like crap with ethanol in the gas. And no we can't even think of buying new or newer used vehicles...... retirement sucks.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
