I had that happen today too. Was going to fill up this morning but decided to wait until this afternoon. Went from 2.29 to 2.35. What a crock. Isn't the fuel in the tanks already at a set price for the dealer?

If you don't think the Govt. is pulling the strings....think again! What about keeping an eye on price gouging?

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but always before bad crap happens someone on the news SOMEHOW always reports that the price of oil magically went up, then splat, something happens.

Only good thing I can say is that I am glad I just landed a job less than 2 miles from my house. A good part of the town was against the N Star sub-station. I for one am glad it went through. Good for a year too.

Yup, and it was refined from crude purchased months ago when the price was under $50 a barrel

You're gonna see a lot of drive-offs. The thing that reallly kills me is the Oil Companys are enjoying record profits.

Yea... and what really sticks in your craw we're probably funding terrorism with these prices...who cares as long as we don't have to look at those unsightly windfarms

they may be a little unsightly, but you will see them and more and more!!
I am not saying that they are the best or only power alternative, but we need to do something and do it soon!!
