$3 a gallon for regular now. Some lie about a refinery having problems. :slap: It's simple greed.

We have been raked over the coals here in SOCAL for over a month. Price damn near jumped over ONE DOLLAR OVERNIGHT back in July. Same excuse, refinery issues.
It has been going back down at a SNAILS pace, but it's still around $3.60 per gallon.
Expect the price to climb steadily until after labor day, it always seems to. :island14:

The northern mid west states from Ohio west and south will be affected by an increase of around $1.00 a gallon until the refinery gets back to full capacity.
Other states will still see $2.00 a gallon gas. :dance:

It's always a hurricane, refinery problems or tension in the middle east as an excuse to raise prices. It will never get below$2 and stay there for an extended amount of time. More likely is it staying close to or above $3 a gallon.

I paid $2.12.9 a gallon for regular here in Ft Worth yesterday. It has been a very long time since it was that low here.

I paid $2.45 in southern Pa last w/e, and $2.64 today here in Buffalo.
It will hit $2.00 a gallon. It already has in Nashville.

It was $3 a gallon last night for regular. $2 a gallon is a pipe dream for us.

And here is the reason.
I'm just happy that it is not going to affect us here.
Ya, I'd be pizzed too.

Been paying in the $2.50-$2.60 range for diesel for the last 2 months or so in Southeastern Ohio... usually lower than the regular unleaded.
The big diesel dually has been less expensive to drive than the SS (that needs 93). :willy:
Pushing the $2 mark in NH. :dance:

Gas is one of those necessary evil things I don't ruminate on too deeply. If it were $5.00/gallon I'd pay it. :shrug:

Cost me $12.00 to fill up the FLSTC today.
$3.65/gal 89 Octane.
Oh, the Huge Manatee.

It should be regulated just like the electric co, phone co, and any other utility is. It was different 30+ years ago when people didn't have to drive a lot for work.

I run Premium in both of mine too. We have a couple stations here that have the good Premium and one of them has 110 octane racing fuel.

The 91 was at $3.89.
87 octane was $3.35
Used to be, there was like a $0.05 to $0.10 difference between grades.
I have no idea why there's now a $0.25 to $0.30 difference.
Local news is saying we haven't reached the peak yet.
1 refinery affecting 6 states minimum?
Ah well, like you, I'll pay.

It is regulated here.
Sellers can only raise/lower their prices once every 24 hours.
Not what you meant, but....
