today I've seen some stations over $4 but most are holding at 3.999. I had heard that about some pumps.. that they can't be set over $3.999.. but most of the stations around here are newer, so I doubt I'll be able to take advantage of that.

Is it still like this in your part of FL? (I am looking at your location status)?
I have been paying 3.80 min. for quite sometime in the Tampa Area.
smiley, I have noticed that gas prices are slightly higher in Jax for some reason than other parts of the state! Why, I have no clue! You would think they could just send the stupid gas to the port!

On Friday it went up to $4/gallon at my local Costco 
and costco is the cheapest place in town

Yes, yesterday my husband and I both paid $4.06 for regular.
And the oil companies aren't gouging? Record profits though...because demand is so high...  RIIIIIIGHT.

The end of $3.99 in New York State
Just heard this on National news on CBS radio:
"The State Bureau of Weights and Measures, as of Wednesday, will allow stations to sell gas by the half-gallon, provided they can show proof they have ordered new pump computers.
New computers have about a 20 back order currently and cost about $400.00 each."
If not done yet by other states, would not be surprised if they follow along in changing their rules as well.

It always goes down after the holiday weekend. If you can wait it out til Tuesday, you're definitely better off.

The same trend is happening here in Houston. A city that considers the term 'public transportation' dirty words.
