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. |

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.

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?
