Any one else notice gas prices going up?

Today, at the "cheap" station regular unleaded was 1.85/gal.

A week ago today, it was 1.57/gal.

a .28 cent jump in one week?

BLOODY MURDER!

1. As a full-time driver...

...I notice each and every time gas prices rise and fall. And boy, have they been rising lately!

There was a pipeline burst here in AZ, and ours have gone up a little more than that in 4 days.

I used to hang out at clubs in Orono all the time. You've got a lot of driving to do. Be safe and have a great time with the DUers.

6. There was a thread in LBN about refinery problems due in part to

the power outages and of course this was going to cause gas prices to rise.

How convenient!

15. Well,

I don't really notice them week-to-week, since I'm mostly a public transit user. I fill up my own car about once every 3 weeks or so. But today I was filling up a pool car for work and I noticed regular was around $1.80. I hadn't seen it that high in a while.

19. I am retired so this does not get to me. This is what I have done.

I put aside $20 a month and that is it. Gas goes up and I drive even less. I have a small car and used to fill it weekly but the cost of gas made me mad so I just go no place. So they used to get twice what they are getting now. Must people can not be this tight.
