They don't need a reason. They raise the price, we pay it.

Yeah keep wishing.

High gas prices = HUGE tax revenues. You won't hear a peep from the government about it, unless they decide to do something to combat the forthcoming recession.

It's $3.29 here. Was $3.09 before that refinery blew up. Sigh.

$3.07 for regular...$3.80 for diesel in this part of Western Massachusetts!!! Cheaper in surrounding towns. That's what happens when 2 distributors control 85% of the stations in town...the independants love it...they can raise their prices and still stay lower than the locals!!!
