Gas price jump!

Just a few hours ago I paid $2.99 for regular in Northern VA.

From what I understand, the oil companies kept making heating oil instead of gas because of the strange winter.

Wow, great link.

So what the shit is this? I literally live 30 minutes from a refinery and I pay $3.10 a gallon...that's BS!

Travel season is gearing up, hence the rise in gas prices. Wife put $56 into the truck, when several weeks ago, it was costing $46.

The Wawa up the street from my house was around $2.89 last night. I'd imagine by the end of the week, it'll be up to $2.99, if not higher. Across town, $3.03, $3.05 for regular is the norm now.

I noticed it was $3.02 for regular gas in Rockville this morning. It was about $2.89 a week or two ago.

We might get royally screwed here Montgomery County if the new county executive gets his way. He seems to think that a higher gas tax (something like 12cents a gallon) will help ease traffic congestion.
That's just dumb because it's not really enough to keep people from driving, but it is enough to put a real strain on people.

It pisses me off. I remember back during college, it was around $1.25. THANK YOU WAR! :)

Not to get all political on that ass, so anyway, yeah, I'm SO SICK of it being one step forward, five steps back. I think earlier this year it dropped below two dollars for the first time in a while, and now it's up even higher at three.

Then it'll go back down to like $2.35 or so and we'll all be like, "Thank you Baby Jesus!" even though it's higher than it originally was.

Gotta love the 1990 tiny little ford escort. 20 dollars can take me around the world.

I still blame this price jump over the last few months on the fact that I was dumb enough to go out and buy a Jeep. I swear the week I bought it the proce of gas jumped about 10 cents and hasn't stopped going up since.

Sorry :(

I think we are all spoiled by our old fuel economic vehicles. I had a 1991 Acura Integra, which I "pimped" for gas mileage rather than power. I remember once getting 50 mpg on the highway.

God, I miss that car.

God I love living in a country with a real mass transport system.
