Ranging from 3.65 to 4.03 here in Houston for regular unleaded. At some stations I have seen the price jump 30 cents in 1 week.

Is the first time ever in Puerto Rico that a liter costs over $1.00 dollar, in a station at $1.04 a liter.

Ditto here

Expecting to see another jump this weekend. No real reason, other than that is when we always see it by me.

Most places are about $3.69 here today. If you want to check various areas, this place has updates all throughout the day, sometimes with prices just a few minutes old. Just type in the city and state, or zip code.

I'm confused. In 2008 oil hit $147/barrel and gas around here ranged from $3.99-$4.15. Right now oil is just $111/barrel, but gas is $3.69-$3.85 here. Something's not adding up. We don't have any new gas taxes or regulations that I know of. Would gas prices really only go up another 30-40 cents/gallon if oil were to jump another $35/barrel?

Sounds fishy. :roll:

edit: Found an answer.

A gas station is Orlando, FL, is charging $5.69 for regular ... seems like they're taking advantage of the situation because the average in Orlando is $3.78

Only $250 fines a day? The amount of money they are making off that, they could pay that easily! Disgusting.

E10 is running at $4.066 on base, off base is $8.602.

I buy diesel at $4.327 on base, off base is $7.847. (Either way, I'm glad my new car gets 45+ mpg! Much better than the 17-20 I was getting!)
