Up around $2.70 here again. All sorts of excuses again even though a barrel of oil is less than $60. I read how there is reduced output at refineries which of course when prices are low they encouraged. I saw news of maintenance and repair at refineries. Can't they figure out how to schedule their repairs like any other manufacturing plant. I know every plant I've ever worked at does. I mean it's the same old thing over and over. If it's not the war and a problem overseas it's something right here on our own soil. It's reported that supplies are very high right now but we still are getting reamed at the pump. Record profits each year for the oil companies but somehow it's justified. Someone please figure out a way to burn something but oil! Get ethanol available quickly and get the cars ready to support it or something. Hydrogen, electric whatever I don't care!!

$2.95 for regular in S. Florida.

I don't really care how high it goes, since I don't use much.

$2.63 on this side of town. I use the Ingles card too and save an additional 3 cents per gallon. I can't wait for gas prices to go down again.

If it ever does. Seems like Big Oil uses every excuse in the book to raise prices.

I filled up at my local Exxon yesterday @ $2.65.9 for regular. Paid $3.05 in Florida week before last.

$2.84 to $3.05 for regular in my area...it drives me crazy.

There is a Kwikfill near me that is $2.84 for regular and less than a mile up the road is a Mobil that is at $3.05...what the heck?!? How is that possible?!? I don't get why people don't just boycott that guy...granted it is a huge station with a McD's and stuff, but still, I never go there just base on principal!
