Fuck *someone in the oil business here* Why do we have a system where gas will make a $0.40+ jump and then have the price decrease by $0.02 or so per day until it jumps back up $0.40+. It pisses me off.

Ah, what's the price there then? I'm in CA and usually expect to pay about $3.90/gal for regular.

Can't talk to local fluctuation (or collusion), but it's a global commodity. Blame it on the speculators, and/or supply and demand.

"Indiana and the other Great Lakes states, along with Ohio and Kentucky, represent the greatest price volatility in the United States," says Laskoski. "It's characterized by what the federal government calls price cycling, where a couple of the dominant players can bring prices as low as they think they can go. Then, rather than have a slow increase, they raise prices 25 cents or more overnight."

When you say something like this it makes you sound like a total cry baby. $3.55 is a fucking steal. in canada we are currently sitting at $4.20/gal and that's considered pretty good. I've paid as high as $5.30/gal before.

In TX, people are complaining about 3.09 gas. However, for my relatives in Holland, gas regularly exceeds 9 USD.

I've gotten that price jump down to a science, the prices near where I work will always jump before the ones near where i live. So if I suspect that they'll jump soon I just check prices in the morning and fill up on my way to work.

3.55? Wow...

I'm paying $4 or the whereabouts in Buffalo. In Toronto, I pay about 1.3/liter, which is about $4.7 a gallon. My Volvo 850 requires premium fuel :q
