Every morning, I drive past one of the most expensive gas stations in town. (Note, I say I drive past it.  ) This week I saw the following prices posted for premium:
Monday: $3.839/gal
Tuesday: $3.899/gal
Wednesday: $3.919/gal
Thursday: $3.939/gal
Friday: $3.999/gal
16 cents in the space of four days.
Oy.

This asshat is now getting $4.119 for premium. Regular still isn't over $4, but it's only a matter of time..........

Now I don't feel so bad for paying the extra low price of $3.67 for premium. Then again, it is just a matter of time before I will be paying over $4/gal.

Well if you live anywhere near NJ, you have about 5 hours until prices go up 21 cents on NJT and GSP.

our 3.55 a gallon seems like a bargain!

U.S. gasoline theft on the rise along with prices
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. motorists, angered by soaring gasoline prices, are resorting increasingly to theft -- a trend that could worsen heading into summer driving season, a national association of fuel retailers said Thursday.
"It is getting bad. When the price of gasoline goes up, the number of drive-offs goes up," said Dan Gilligan, president of the Petroleum Marketers Association of America, which represents about 8,000 retailers.

There is a Shell station near me that:
1) That has just about always had the lowest price gas in the area.
2) Is, from what I have been told, is the busiest Shell in area.
3) Has at least 2 dedicated tanker deliveries a day.
4) Has pay up front pumps.
And yet it has more cameras on the property than any two banks I have ever been in!
I was told that they added one or two after they realized that someone figured out a dead zone in coverage!
And I should add that this station still has very active bays and when they are busy, an employee is walking around directing traffic flow.

I drove home from school on Thursday. GSP was $3.17 ... the lines for the rest stops overflowed onto parkway lanes! It would have taken me over an hour to get gas. When I drove back up on Friday, $3.38 was still cheaper than spots in town.
I'm seriously considering going out of my way to a rest stop this week if prices continue to soar.

You suck.  Around here, the cheapest gas you can get is $3.679/gal... for regular. I kid you not when I say people line up to get gas there... burning gas while idling in line.
Unfortunately, I have no choice but to buy premium. The Princess will only drink Veuve Clicquot - no Korbel for her.

Well guess what? That is what I paid last week. I drove pass the gas station today and premium is now $3.81 or $3.87 (I cannot remember which).
I feel your pain about your car's preference for gas. My car will only accept premium. Oh well.

 There was a line today at Sam's to get gas. It was $3.529 for regular unleaded. Everywhere else it's $3.599. So it was worth the wait.
