"Seasonal factors are also sending pump prices higher. Gas usually costs more in the late spring and summer because refiners have to make more expensive blends of gasoline to meet clean air rules and because the summer driving season boosts demand."

"In the past few weeks, pipelines serving Wisconsin and Illinois ruptured, refineries were shut down unexpectedly because of equipment problems in Illinois and Indiana, and a blaze broke out at a refinery in Richmond, Calif."

Prices fell about 50 cents a gallon from late spring through mid-summer, so they can junk that excuse.

The smoke hadn't cleared from that refinery fire outside Oakland before the price at the pump shot up 10-12 cents a gallon earlier this week.

Yup!! Then they'll want $6, we'll be paying europe prices within 10 years. :fury:

I think the prices always rise to new heights b/f dropping back. That sets the bar higher and higher and when they do drop back it is not to the lower levels seen b/f the rise. You get conditioned to the new higher "lows".

93 was $4.50 a gallon in Hartford today. Only took what I needed to get back to RI.
