$2.69 today at the Hess next to Mike's shop--cheapest in the area.

$3 by Memorial Day? Try by April 30. It's been going up at least a dime a week since early March, and there are stations that are already in the mid-$2.80s.

In what other industry does a price increase in the raw material it's made from, that hasn't even been delivered yet, result in an instantaneous price hike?

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Not to get too political, but what other industry has the leader of the free world making broad idiological challenges to demand radical change among the primary supply base.

Can anyone say hedge fund?
