Gas Prices Rising

[heypeg]

I think they hike prices on purpose during the summer.

Yep, have to deal with it.

They are going up down south also. I hate that because we have two long trips we plan to take by car. One is in a couple of weeks and the other is in June. I sure hope gas does not go much higher.

Yikes my friends in california say it's getting really bad in the $4s again. Thankfully I don't drive too much but I feel for those who do.

Yea they get higher in the summer to gouge people who go on car driven vacations what they seem to forget the poor person who is trying to make it to work on say minimum wage.

Yes, gas in California is $3.89 at the minimum.  What they told us that the extra taxes on the gas is to go into fixing our roads.  Want to make a bet our roads aren't fixed? I hit a pot hole everyday.

Here in Augusta some places are lower, like 2.47 a gallon no higher than 2.57. That's for Regular gas.

In Virginia, the gas is $2.63. Some areas $2.57.  This is not fair, it's going to take more money to fill up.

[ktheodos]

yes, increasing here too as they usually do as we approach summer....:/

The gas prices rise as with everything else.  In Va, I think most gas stations are like McDonalds, a single person owns part of an enterprise.  I don't know how they regulate prices, but here in VA, my younger brother lives in Arlington and when he comes to visit in Woodbridge, he will gas up hear which is a dollar cheaper than where he is and I am talking not just about you know, Wawa to Exxon.  I'm talking about and Exxon to Exxon.  So even towns within the same state have different prices.  Honestly, someone should regulate that better because it's hard enough to find a decent price for gas per gallon from one company that even if you find that one company, in another town within the same state it's a different price, that may even be higher.

prices in southern mass are going up. they are around 2.89
prices at the pump usually go up as we get closer to Memorial day.
i do hope they level off soon.

I just paid $2.98 yesterday in southeast PA (Near Philly) and I am not happy!!!
Gas prices always do seem to rise during the summer months but I would of sworn I just heard within the last month they may be dropping soon??!!  (Perhaps it was a 1 week thing?!!)
But either way, I look at it as a write off for my business. But still the higher prices during the summer months KILL me because I own a landscape company. I would prefer lower gas prices than more write offs !!!

It is $4.39 here help

[alice44]

They are 2.69 here in SW FL but a week ago they were 2.79!  I know they will go up this summer.  It is when everyone takes vacation!
