How much did you pay for gas today?

People west of the Mississippi might want to fill up right away...one of the west's largest refineries will be shut down for a while, I suspect...

We're up in the $2.11-$2.15 range for most places.

 

We're up to $2.19 here.

 

Dropped back down to $1.98 here.

 

$2.09.9

 

in the western suburbs of Chicago:

Drove by my local Thornton's at noon and regular was $2.319. Just drove past it again and regular is now $259.9. A jump of 28¢ a gallon. Bastards.

 

Kind of at the stage again where your zip code matters: Between $2.09 and $2.29 here.

Good news for the future if you're a car-driving schmuck, bad news if you suck at Big Oil's teat:

Up to $2.39 here, from lows of $1.69, which i dont understand, because there was no corresponding 30% rise in oil prices to justify that hike.

 

Do we live in the same town? Same thing happened here. Just completely baffling.

 

Went up to $2.39, then back down to $2.29 and now down to $2.25.

 

Up 60 cents a gallon since Feb. 14 (last time I filled up) to 2.81 and up 79 cents from the January low. Typical West Coast rip-off.

 

And today back to $2.19. Something about that seems fishy.
