I'm still in awe that I was able to drive from Chicago to Buffalo (9 hours) for thirty bucks one way in gas.
Over the summer, I drove from Pittsburgh to Buffalo (4 hours) for thirty bucks one way in gas.

I drove from Phoenix to Dallas (18 hrs) about 2 weeks ago and spent about $200 round trip. Might have even been less then that. Last time I ever take such a long trip.
In the summer from Phoenix to Las Cruces, NM (5.5 hrs) $120 round trip.

I saw 1.37 yesterday which means that there's this station a little further down that probably has it around 1.25.

Is anyone else's gas prices going up?
The cheapest I paid was $1.42, it stayed like that for a while, and now a lot of places are over $1.70

I think we got down to around $1.50 in Altanta (give or take a few cents). Now we're hovering around $1.69 - $1.75.

The oil manufacturers purposely decreased production so that there was more demand. The higher the demand, the more they charge.

Because they is no room to store all the gas they are making, when the demand for gas was really high they were selling it as fast as they could produce it. Also, it doesn't really make a difference, they may be making more money per gallon, but they aren't producing as many gallons, so they really aren't making all that much more money, but if they can't sell the gas then they are having to pay to store, therefore losing money. No one likes losing money.
I know someone who is pretty high up with a huge international oil company and he said when oil hits below $35 a barrel, then they are no longer working for profit and will starting shutting operations down.
