    $3.19 this AM, $3.23 by noon.

    It's like The Price is Right, the owner spins the wheel and then raises the price by the amount the spinner lands at.

    That's $.90 since election day, a 39 percent increase while the price of oil has remained flat, or even dropped.

    $2.719 x 15 gallons = $40.79 fill up earlier today.

    And I would be doing cartwheels to fill up for $40.79.

    20 gallons x $3.39 = Birdscribe taking it in the shorts.

    Not where I had to fill up yesterday, BuckW.

    Hell, it's $3.19 at Costco. That's where you know we're being screwed without being kissed.

    $2.79 today. Interesting, though, that across the river in Illinois the price is the same, and Illinois charges more tax than we do.

    3.21 here. 12-cent increase in four days.

    Gas was $2.73 when I went to work at 5 p.m. today at the gas station next to us. Six hours later, while scarfing down a quick bite to eat in the break room between editions, I looked out the window and noticed the sign read $2.78.

    Guess I should have filled up before work, huh?

    As of now, it's $2.98 in Michigan. I've seen it as low as $2.88 in a couple spots.

    Still, beats Vancouver. They're paying the equivalent of $4.63 a gallon in BC now.
