Anyone capable of discussing gas without politics? Anyone?

I got lucky and filled up at a station that was still sitting at $3.46 while every other station in Ft. Wayne was at $3.69 after jumping almost 30 cents while I was at work.

jumping almost 30 cents while I was at work.

Gas prices go up while you are at work.

Clearly, if you'd stop going to work, gas would be cheaper and you'd have more money!

$4.19. It went up .10 overnight.

Regular was 3.99/gallon on Tuesday, premium was 4.16. The regular is higher than the premium I was putting in a week ago at 3.93. Same exact Shell station.

Here's a curious chart:

I was skeptical about the "Obama doubled gas prices claim", since I remember that gas was over $4 when Dubya was still in the White House.

Notice gas dropping from the highest point on the chart ($4.10) to the LOWEST ($1.61) the week of the election in 2008?

That's speculator-driven pricing, and shows what is probably the real price of gas. Unfortunately, gasoline is fairly inelastic in demand, so large spreads can exist between production cost and market price.

Another day and another .10 $4.29. This sucks! I moved to Cali 10 days ago and the cost of fuel has gone up .70 cents.

$3.25 for high test in the Mini.(Smiths/Kroger) At least it's getting 40+mpg!!!!!!!

$3.80 a gallon here off of 23 in Delaware County. It has gone up .71 cents in the last 10 days.

Depends on where you fill up down here, and you always have to watch out for "cash pricing". Last night where I filled up it was $3.89. This morning on the way to work, I saw the range from $3.79 to $3.99.
