Question Gas prices

Is it just me or do they just raise these prices on all of the holiday and nice weather and lower them when gas consumption is low. What does everyone elses prices look like?

$2.02 for regular...

My old truck likes the good stuff not regular. so I drive my little truck for the gas mileage and it doesn't mind regular.

So everyone whats your gas price like and am I right about these gas companies getting us during driveing weather?

$2.15/gal reg Premium is about $2.45 here in wonderful Yuba City. In Sutter it's about $2.13/gal reg and premium is $2.35 and in marysville it's about $2.17/reg and premium is $2.37. I hate paying them mothers for the gas that should only cost $0.99/ gal. Shoot on diesel there's like $0.57 taxes. and gas is like $0.35.

The one thing that gets me in a real downer is the gas prices. Why is it that when we use more gas it goes up.Everything else the more you use the better price you get.
I went to Bakersfield over the weekend and saw gas from 206 to 229.
I sure am glad I have A GEER VENDER OVERDRIVRE.

Ok it's only been two months since I started this thread and regular gas is at 2.59 a gallon. Thats more than .50 in a short time. I hear it will go to 4.00 this year.

I need to get my gear vendor installed..

Cheapest I've seen in town is $2.47 and the most expensive I've seen is $2.61

I'm debating on wether or not to get my truck back on the road......NOT! Even with gas this high I just gotta get this beast back on the road this summer....even if it looks as ugly as a chevy

$4 gallon

I've been hearing this one too and not like the typical $3 gallon rumor that has hit every summer for the past few years.

http://publicuscornelius.typepad.com/patrick_schaefer/2005/03/oil_100_a_barre.html
The administration says that $4 gallon is a nightmare scenario "is extremely unlikely in teh short term. Of course, what is short term?
