Regular was $3.75 when I left for work at 4:30am.  It was $3.79 at the same gas station at 5:15pm.  That's the pattern here for the last couple of weeks.

The pattern here seems to be a big jump of 10 to 20 cents followed by a couple of 1-2 cent drops followed by a another jump.

Same here. We went from 3.85 on Saturday to 3.99 on Sunday for premium. It's backed off a cent, but I expect another 15 cent jump by Friday.

I just paid $4.09 a gallon, regular gasoline, no ethanol stuff in it.

I understand prices around here went up 20 cents on Tuesday, 20 cents on Wednesday, and there's another price increase tomorrow, but I didn't hear how much.

What's anybody else paying?  Any sudden spurts in prices?

Gas prices dropped a couple weeks ago and then rose again.  They've leveled off to about $3.25 when I filled up earlier this week.

There is a non-ethanol Valero a few miles from here.  I'm going to fill up the MG there as soon as I get it back on the road.

It was $3.48 here yesterday morning, then it went up midday, then up midday again today, so we're at $3.84 now.

I don't know .  For some strange reason high gas prices aren't newsworthy anymore.

$3.40-3.50 depending on the town in NH.  But funny how they're all within that 10 cent range, depending on if you're going to BJ's/Sam's Club, the cheapo gas, or the name brand stuff.

$4.20/gallon of regular here.

That's what it is here in Nebraska this morning; up 20 cents from yesterday.

These past couple of days are the first time it's gone into $4 anywhere in Nebraska; it's never been this high.

I guess 0bama'll take care of it, though.

Up another 7 cents per gallon overnight from $3.699 to $3.769.

Oddly enough, it's slightly cheaper ($3.749) in Bloomington, IL -- land of the moonbats -- than it is in north-central Mizz-uhr-ah. (I'm attending a tuba/euph conference here in Bloomington.)

$4.39/gal in WA state - prices always go up around Memorial Day, and with Obama as POTUS, they go up generally.

This thread makes me feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone.  The Thornton's down the street has been at $3.14 for at least a week or more.
