Did gas prices just go up 40+ cents for anyone else yesterday?

WTF? Gas station by my house (Citgo on 118) is usually the cheapest around. Was $2.95 for 93 yesterday morning. Driving home yesterday after the hookah bar, it is at $3.39.

Im really starting to think these prices will never get back down to even $2.50 for premium.

Is this the proper place to say that I hate the George Bush administration!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really, I do.

I didn't pay any attention this morning on the way to work, but gas and oil futures were both down yesterday.

I was down in woodbridge last night. I was fortunate enough to find an exxon (off smoketown rd and old bridge road) that had 93 at $2.91. Funny thing was they were offering 91 at just 3 cents less. The next gas station over had 93 at $3.29.

Yeah they jumped up like 40 cents! What's up with that crap? The day before they dropped like 15 cents.

$3.39 here too. Was ~$2.93 like two days ago. Talking premium of course.

On a related note, I hope your home is heated by electricity. I read a report on CNN.com that states natural gas is likely to go up by 50% this winter.

I am sure glad that I metro/mass tansit to work. My work subsidizes my commute.

I feel you on G Dubb, but the masses spoke on election day.

Also, I feel gas prices in our area will never ever go down below $2.50/gallon for premium. Especially with China's and India's economies growing pretty rapidly. I heard that only 15% of the population in India have cars. Imagine 10 years from now. Scary times ahead due to those prospering Asian nations.
