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!
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.

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

Re: Gas price jump!
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.

Re: Gas price jump!
Try $3.24 over here. it's insane how fast it jumped. Fortunately I don't have a gas guzzler. If your car gets15 miles a gallon or less, well good luck my friend. Perhaps it's time to rethink the whole big cars cultulture here in the states.

What's even worse, I live about 1 mile from where I work, so I could walk to work (my wife could too), AND I have a motorcycle that gets a good 45-55 MPG. My wife makes me wear a helmet and it messes up my hair. So I still drive the truck.
