Gas price jump!
Our gas (low grade) went from $2.80 to $3.10 in less than two weeks. I about pissed my pants when I filled my truck up and it cost $67!!!! I thought it was supposed to go DOWN?

Re: Gas price jump!
WHAT???? When did you fill up last? Like I said, it just went up. I hadn't been paying attention for two weeks, but my wife said it just jumped the last 2 days.

Re: Gas price jump!
Well, do me a favor...when you're driving around tonight or tomorrow, take a look and see if it went up, or if it's just a regional hike.

Re: Gas price jump!
That goes for anyone else out and about too. I know most live in the same area, but there are people here that aren't near DC.

Re: Gas price jump!
It's going to go higher than that very easily.

Re: 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.

Re: Gas price jump!
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.

Re: Gas price jump!
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.
