Not so far. Down to $1.39/gal for 87 octane at the gas station where I tank up.

So much so, that OPEC nations are discussing cutting production in order to shore up the world market.

The manager at a major trucking terminal came in screaming a few days ago.  The price of gas had gone up about $.30 per gallon.  We went through all the newspapers and also tried to remember what had been on the radio.  The price increase had to be because  because the Arabs were talking about cutting production.  The greedy bastards around here apparently only read the headline and rushed out to raise the prices.  They didn't read the rest of the article about reduced demand and the economy.  Speedy Mart 's actions set the pricing around  here and the stunts it pulls would be funny if they were not such greedy bastards. I have seen difference of $.60 a gallon when they attempt to really gouge and the majors do not follow..

On the north side, an employee was changing the sign to $1.76 a gallon. First significant jump I've  seen in quite a while.

Yes.

(They'll do that).

And by the way...get ready for $2.50 by March 1.

It'll stay at that rate for quite a while...but it's going up after February.

Status: offline 		Just had another small increase in local gas prices today. Up fourteen cents in the last three day. It could be the distributors and/or retailers doing their holiday price gouging though. So I will ask again if anyone else has had their local gas prices go up?

Not here, it's been holding pretty steady at $1.55 for reg, $1.65 for premium.

CL, $1.39??? Damn! Do you have a garage? If I did I'd be filling up about a dozen 55 gal drums.
