Haven't been following news lately about gas prices, but on March 1st I paid $2.28/gal and today I paid $3.30. We're not even in summer yet... might get ugly.

Right now regular is running 15-20 cents a gallon more at the nearest larger town with multiple gas stations than it is at another small town maybe 15 miles away and just two three gas station/convenience stores. It's been averaging about the same difference in price for around a month now too. The larger town has several of the exact same chain brand gas stations as the small town. Two of the ones in the small town are regional or national chains and one is a privately owned local chain of gas station/convenience stores I know for a fact the same bulk gas delivery truck refills the storage tanks for all the locations of the locally owned chain Looks to me like they charge as much as they think they can get away with at the moment per location.

Well of course they do. Why shouldnβt they? Whatβs wrong with making money selling something that many, many people want to buy?

Just that time of year again.
I don't bitch about gas prices. We pay $4.35/gal in Aleutian Hell. Paying in the lower part of $3 is a break for me.

Thanks for that jewel, Capt. Obvious. It's called capitalism, the market (that's you and me) gets to set prices, not some preening politician or bureaucrat.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Usuallly people that cry about fuel prices also spend a $100+ a month on ciggs, mello-yello and copenhagen.
Back when it spiked to $4; it sure kept a lot of jiggaboos off the road. π

Might not be worth it but itβs loud and itβs fast Iβm a nonsmoker but I donβt mind smokers, myself. Kind of think itβs wierd that smokers are treated like a disease by the public- but a couple [bleep] holding hands and pushing a stroller with some gook baby they bought is A-OK The website edited out a word that is a synonym for homosexual above up there.
