After a couple of weeks of hovering around the $3.65/3.70 range, gas prices climbing again. This time blamed on Irene shutting down refineries.
If we're lucky we'll be looking at $3.50/gal for heating oil early this winter, climbing to $4/gal by February. FML.
And if you look at the trend, we've been above $3.50/gal for regular unleaded for almost six months now with no sign of dropping. In 2008, gas prices were above $3.50/gal for less than five months, on their way to a national average of $1.80/gal on 1/20/09.
