Gas-Oh-Leen

[Echo]

Has the price of gas gone up where you are? I swear it has gone up 30 cents a gallon in a month here! I bought gas about a month ago, and it was 2.22. Today it is advertised @ 2.55! Carrumba...

[Jniedbalski]

Same here

[georgerkahn]

The least expensive "regular" petrol in my town is $2.83/gallon -- Sunoco brand. I use both ethanol-free ($3.19/gallon) as well as diesel (90 cetane) @ $2.93 per gallon. It is what it is. Sad, I do think the government likes high gasoline costs, as they exact SALES TAX on the stuff -- the higher the cost the more they make :).

Not true. Federal Gas taxes as well as most states are per gallon. That is why as cars become more fuel efficient states are bringing up per mile taxes based on new cars gps.

By the way yes Denver fuel prices are rising rapidly.

I paid 2.659 here last week. Up from 2.359. I need to fill up tonight.

[bullet maker 57]

Same here, on the rise for summer. Up about .15 in the past week.

[RU shooter]

Ours in SW Pa have been slowly going up in the past two months, for the last few weeks it's been holding steady at 2.79-2.89 gal. Depending on where you buy . Today it's at 2.95 gal yes we have pretty high state taxes on gas/diesel highest in the country in fact 58 cent on the gal.!

Oil is at a 3 year high. Saudi Arabia was recently attacked and intercepted some missiles fired from Yemen rebels and discourse in Syria could cause some major problems in the area. Neither of these issues has had much actual impact but the fear of disruption in the area causes increased speculation

[CastingFool]

The highest price in my area is $2.89 for regular, lowest $2.55. A couple weeks ago I topped off at $2.47. I check Gasbuddy all the time.

[Kraschenbirn]

'Round here it kinda depends on where you are. Here in town (w/major college), it's $2.69/gal. but 20-some miles east, at the interstate exit where I get off to go to our club range, it's $2.45. Of course, this weekend in 'Mom's Day' at the big U and, just like a home football game, that's always good for a $.10-$.15/gal. hike.

$2.99.9 a gal heer, $2.74.9 a month ago-SUCKS

[xs11jack]

My mechanic says that the federal oil reserves have been pulled down for some political reason and the tax payers are getting beaten up for no good reason.

Prices have been between 2.85 and 2.47 a 20 mile drive can have a 25 cent a gallon difference in price.

Speculation drives the price more than actual supply or demand. There is also a change over from winter gas to summer gas that might be happening right around now. Less about the difference in price between the two blends than it is about supply chain allowing inventory to drop before they replace it with a different mix.

Selling from the strategic reserve would lower price by putting more on the supply side. Restocking or building up the reserve would pull supply out of the market which could raise prices. Of course as pointed out warfare in the Middle East is generally not a good influence on fuel prices.

[KenT7021]

Don't complain.I'm currently paying $3.26 a gallon for regular.Our gas tax rate is $.68 per gallon.That includes sate and federal.

[Springfield]

Went from 2.89 last month to 3.39 this month.

[wgr]

i just went to LA and back from IN.. payed anywere from 2.29 to 2.59

[rockrat]

Was in OKC earlier this week. Lowest gas was $2.19 ($2.65 at home) and diesel was $2.56 ($3.09 at home ). So, I'm paying $0.50+ for diesel.

[CraigOK]

Its still a lot lower than that summer about ten years back when we were in the $4+ range

[Freightman]

Sorry to learn the prices ours is up also paid $2.27 today

[JBinMN]

$2.45 for the last couple weeks.

We have 2 refineries within 20 miles of where I live. It doesn't make any difference though, our prices rise just like everyone elses does. ( al dependent on state taxes though.)

Just be prepared. Oil is up & Summer is coming...(<< Maybe... & believe it or not we have a Blizzard warning for here Fri-Sat night. Anywhere from a minimum of 4" to 12+" depending on how the storm tracks...)

[Czech_too]

$2.59 yesterday, up 20 cents from a week ago.

[frkelly74]

Wednesday I was driving up Mackinaw St around noon and the BP station was at $2.51 and packed with buyers. The patterned tendency around here has been raise for the weekend and slack off toward midweek and raise again late Wednesday or early Thursday for the next weekend. It is not 100% true but there is a definite tendency. So anyway it looked like there was something in the wind so I filled up. By 6:30 it was up to $2.86 and I was wishing I had taken my cans with me when I filled up.

[mold maker]

I filled up yesterday at the cheapest local at $2.49. The last I bought was $2.29 three weeks ago. Even a news item on TV last night. Looks as if we're being scapegoats for another whim.

[DocSavage]

I fill up at either Cumberland Farms where I have a smart card or the local BJ's club both are/were $2.49 as of a week ago.

[jimlj]

When I used to work in the oil field, I didn't mind high gas prices because it meant me and my company where busy. When we were busy I was able to put more money away for a rainy day. Now that I have retired it is not such a good thing for my wallet, but it does tend to make the local economy better.

[D Crockett]

here in Florida it has been going up for about a month now my question is why is it going up ???? D Crockett

[quilbilly]

Cheapest gas I have seen in my business travels around W. Wash. this week has been $3.07 but we have the second highest gas tax in the nation. The price has gone up about 40 cents in the last month here. The ecofascists are now getting signatures for an initiative for another 30 cent a gallon increase but they are calling it a carbon pollution fee. The greenies decided that the word "tax" would be unpopular. How typical but I am sure they useful idiots that run Seattle will buy it.

[robg]

£5.20 a gallon here ,we're taxed to death on fuel.it's sold by the litre now so the stupid have no idea how much its gone up .£1.20 a litre .

[JBinMN]

Put some gas in the Jeep yesterday and still $2.45/gal here in SE MN.

[Idaho45guy]

I'm in a gas supplier monopoly market for 30 miles in any direction, so my gas costs are controlled by Busch Distributing.

I've been paying $2.81 a gallon for regular unleaded for about two years when I buy in Idaho. Washington has higher gas tax so it's $2.95 in Pullman.

During the news that gas prices were coming down and the national average was almost $2 a gallon, we paid $2.81 a gallon. When the news was that gas prices were fluctuating and going up, we paid $2.81 a gallon. When they were supposed to see a spike for Memorial Day; $2.81 a gallon.

Yesterday, among the news that prices were skyrocketing... $2.81 a gallon.

I went on a road trip last year and as soon as I left the monopoly area, I was paying $2.27 a gallon. It was awesome!

Here in north Louisiana you can pay anywhere from $2.29 - $2.49 within 4 miles. With all the tax I wonder where all that money goes they aren’t fixing any pot holes that i can tell.

[white eagle]

its a good thing we are exporting oil now

[Ateam]

Why is it going up? Because rattling their sabers is good for their pocketbooks.

[kingstrider]

I heard gas prices are projected to go up 15% this summer. For me that is another .45 cents per gallon.
