Jumping jeepers Batman! I filled up at $3.519/gal the other day in Germantown, MD. I swear it was $3.30 not more than a week ago!

It's just not fair, especially when on the same day, and at the same station my wife filled up with Premium 93 for $3.329/gal!

Sounds like a bargain for free healthcare thrown-in with every fill-up..

Well the Rag head in Soquel is now up to $3.89, and just under the freeway on the other side it`s $3.69.

Yesterday I saw $3.99 at the Valero in Milpitas, he is always higher by 30 to 40¢.

Stopped in Joes truck Plaza in Lathrop on I-5, $3.67.

Going 0ver Hwy 50 through South Shore (Lake Tahoe) first 3 stations were $3.59, then down the street Chevron was $3.83.

I`ll check around Carson City today to see what it is here in Nevada.

There is no supply shortage, it is all about greed, and how much we can be gouged with taxes.

Around $4.50 a gallon here. It's only really too much when I do a lot of driving, or have to fill up trucks or the bus... Filled up 10 minutes from my house in Washington state for $3.59 last night, though.

I'll only really get too annoyed when it gets back up close to $6 /gal like it did in '08. Hopefully I'll be running all homebrew by then, though.
