Seems to be about $4.19 on average around here. Some stations were at $3.99 but they are sold out. In fact a lot of the stations around here have run dry. It was total pandemonium on Friday. Every station had people lined up into the street regardless of their prices. I've never seen anything quite like it.

Another reason why I don't live down in that area. Also a reason that I don't go below half tank if I can avoid it; it allows for me to have a little breathing room in case there is a sudden spike.

...why, with oil down over $3 a barrel and wholesale gas down 17 cents a gallon, RUG at my local station is still up 18 cents?
 
Granted, I'm not a business genius, but that seems a little strange to me.
 
Unless they are just trying to rip us off. Nah, they'd never do something like that.

Large corporations ripping the little people off. I've never heard of that in my life.

You guys do know this came as a result of Hurricane Ike, correct? A bunch of refineries were shut down and what not.

No way... it can't be...
 
Refineries use oil... shut them down... demand drops... price of oil drops.
 
Gas comes from refineries... shut them down... supply drops... price of gas goes up.
 
Or is could be a vast conspiracy...

10 "petroleum platforms" in the Gulf were entirely destroyed? Does that mean long-term price increases for gas in the U.S.?
