I'm beginning to believe station owners just roll dice and increase the price by whatever number turns up!

Isn't that backwards? You said it would go up.

FYI, watched a show last night about an independent BP operator here in FL and he quit selling gas. He wasn't making any money on it and shut the pumps down and is working on the mechanical shop to make ends meet.
It really isn't the station owners, it's the gas companies and sheiks that are making the coin.
Did anyone else see that email going around that shows the extravagant homes of the sheiks in the middle east. HOLY CRAP, unbelievable homes and cars. All bought by us.

The sheiks in Alaska thank you for your purchases Mark And the "gas" companies aren't doing as well as the "oil" companies  Gas is getting tough to find now a days!

If ppl stopped buying gas for a month, the price will come down - but's like asking the sun not to show up tomorrow.
Discussions about gas price is now in the same category is having a discussion about the weather..
Alien.. Don't have enough gas to login!!

I am really lucky that 2 of the cheapest gas stations in the city are by my house! My husband drive 60 mile two days a week and 80 one day a week for school. We need all the help we can get.

Yeah, they projected gas would go up by 30-40 cents TODAY. YIKES. Should have filled up yesterday when I thought of it, darn it.

Just paid $2.50 (after grocery store club card discount) and counted myself lucky. Doesn't look like my city has gone up yet, but that's not to say they won't change it tomorrow. DH is talking about getting the moped out and serviced.

We have a lot of Hummers for sale in my area. I just have to laugh when I see one of those beasts with a for sale sign in the window.

Since I heard it was going up due to the hurricane, I went out to my local station but they only had premium for $3.00 so I drove to another station and paid 2.69. Station across the street was 2.79.
