Anyone else noticing higher gas prices?

[meldroc]

Looks like the election's over, and the oil executives have bribed enough Congressmen to keep the investigations down to a dull roar.

A couple months ago, gas in my area had gone down to $2.00 a gallon, occasionally lower. Now, prices are up to $2.40/gallon, and some places are going even higher.

After all, we wouldn't want the U.S. economy to get in the way of oil company profits...

1. Up 6 cents overnight. I see it daily as I go by a Mapco on way to work. Up over .20 last 3 wks.

Check out diesel!!! remember when truckers used to get pissed about diesel prices???

2. Heating oil is climbing too

Up about 30 cents a gallon in the last 4 weeks.

3. 2 Words for ya

Spring Break!!!!!

4. Gas stations switched to their summer blends yesterday...

which supposedly are more expensive to produce. That's the excuse that was given on one of the many news shows the night before the price jump.

21. Summer blends

Are indeed more expensive...about 2 cents a gallon or so. Gas prices are jumping by more than that, but the law of supply and demand is hitting as Spring breaks are starting to happen.

5. We got down to 1.83 and now its up to 2.29

Costs me about $40 to fill up my Jeep.

7. Count your blessing the lowest I saw it get was $2.52 now up to $2.83

Out here on the left coast where we always get screwed at the pumps!

[radfringe]

8. 20 cents in 3 days

looks like the oil barons are giving up with inching the prices up by 1 or 2 cents - now it's more like 5-6 cents every 12 hours

9. Definitely seen it. Up to $2.43 - $2.47 range around here

Every couple of days I'll hear it on the "news" read as a simple statement of fact, then quickly on to "in other news, Anna Nicole Smith is still dead. Reports surrounding the death of her dog are being investigated."

Once it hits around $2.60 or $2.75, maybe we'll hear more about it. Especially with tax time quickly approaching. :shrug: Doesn't change the fact that it still hits my wallet harder each day.

10. The price is up $0.38/gal in the last month here in the Detroit area.

Since the most recent low of $1.85/gal on January 18, the price is up $0.64 to $2.49/gal right now.

That's a 33% increase.

[dkofos]

12. Up $.30 in Plano, Tx since Jan. $2.29 today

[nolabels]

13. Premium at higher end- name brands close to $3.00 nearby our place

In So.Cal. it's not so much how much the gas cost but how much it smells :D

[Phredicles]

14. Surely Big Oil just loves all the scary Iran talk;

gives 'em a further excuse to keep jacking up prices.

[Liberal In Texas]

15. Saw it at $2.45 today going to a job. I almost seems like it increases daily.

Or at least every other day.

[maveric]

16. Some San Diego area stations are + $3.00 a gallon.

Thats for premium. Filled up yesterday, regular, for $2.86 a gallon.
This summer it may be as high as $4.00 a gal. down here.

[Marnieworld]

17. 2.69 a gallon for me this morning

For my required premium grade but still! I have noticed and it pisses me off.

[EFerrari]

18. Higher prices at the pump are being reported here in the SF

Bay area as well as warnings about increases to come. :(

[Nimrod2005]

19. Yup, went up about 30-35 cents in the past 2 weeks!!! Just saw $2.55

[AnneD]

20. I got a jolt yesterday...

It went up from $2.07 to $2.19 in 2 weeks.

[RL3AO]

22. Mainly has to do with the weather and spring break

there have been 2 large winter storms in the midwest and NE in the past 10-14 days.

[Javaman]

23. Boiling the frog. I also notice the lack of reporting by the "liberal" media.

:eyes:

can't make chimpy mcmonkey pants* look bad now, can we?
