I was thinking the same, but they just open a new gas station and the competition is keep our prices low...

DAng, we were down to 2 a gallon a few weeks ago. Now we're back up to 2.25. Mitchell, SD)

They've been creeping up a bit...though, a couple of places are selling for $2.17.

Our Citgo gas station is selling @ $2.01 and BP is $2.22. They are located across from each other and folks fill their tanks at BP... Is this crazy????

Actually, not so crazy. Citgo is owned by the Venezuelan government and as such is controlled by dictator Hugo Chavez. I will not buy Citgo gas no matter how much cheaper it is... <end of political rant>

Crude inventories balloon by 5 million barrels, leading to a drop in prices, but costs at the pump have inched up in recent days.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Supplies of crude oil continue to swell in the United States, but don't expect that to translate into lower gas prices any time soon, one expert says. In its weekly inventory report, the Energy Information Administration said crude stocks ballooned by 5.1 million barrels last week. Analysts were looking for a gain of just 600,000 barrels, according to Reuters.
EIA said gasoline supplies rose by 1.4 million barrels. Analysts were looking for a drop of 900,000 barrels. Distillates, used to make heating oil and diesel fuel, fell by 1.2 million barrels, in line with estimates.

Gas prices are already approaching record levels and experts expect them to keep on climbing. In northern California, gas has even hit above the $4 mark. In Southwest Florida, gas prices are averaging around $2.80. The question now is will prices get even higher?

From coast to coast, gas prices across the nation have been climbing for nine straight weeks causing frustration for drivers.

They are $2.89 to a high of about 3.12 here in the Portland area today, however we are lucky here we have all this public transit for such a small metro area. Which is one of the things that keeps me from moving to Fla, all the driving there, and all the gas bills that would come with all that driving.

$2.69 in Navarre, will hit over $3.00 by June

[sunrico90]

We reached $2.72 today, anyone in the $3.00 range?
