Look on the bright side, oil prices are falling as well.

Look for the silver lining, always the optimist.

[mikebw]

yeah, expect that gas prices aren't really following the trend. Oil is down $5 a barrel since yesterday yet gas is up 19 cents.

Gas is over $1 higher here in Atlanta, and at $5.20 in parts of Atlanta, while oil hit $92.

2 weeks ago gas was $3.39.

My station went from 3.74 to 3.98 at the first sign of Ike heading to Texas. It still hasn't come down.

Simply more highway robbery!

It's simple supply & demand, people!







The oil execs demand record profits and you supply them!

That's price gouging. A few gas station operators were sentenced for it here after the Northridge quake of '94. Price gouging is illegal in California during a civil emergency - the rest of the time it's OK.

How else to explain 7 - 11 stores.

one station i pass has diesel at 3.91/gal, premimum gas at 3.83/gal.
regular 87 octane gas is hovering around 3.60/gal.

This should help:

ASHEVILLE – The Colonial Pipeline, the major gasoline artery for the East Coast, is back up and running, albeit at a reduced rate, according to AAA Carolinas Spokeswoman Carol Gifford.

Regular was $3.49 Sunday. (Massachusetts)
It was $3.40 a week ago and $3.43 last Wednesday. $3.46 Saturday night.

Statiions (owners ? -was on the local news) here were talking about going to limit to 10 gallons per purchase, but that never happened. (yet)

the recent run-up in oil prices had nothing to do with supply and demand. They were caused by huge amounts of institutional $$'s pouring into the futures market. Lehman Brothers was one of the big players.
