There's a rumor that a meteor shower might hit in the next 2 billion years. That coupled with the certainty that it will be dark all night for the foreseeable future prompted the increase. That & crude dropped to $42.46 so why not raise the price.

Rumors that OPEC is probably going to cut back on production.......DDSS......Control the suppy, raise the demand....The price follows.

I think they are cutting production because they are askeeerd of the meteor shower.

Bush hasn't been able to control the prices, in about 12 days we'll see what happens when Obama takes office.

Not me, Mon, got me a cast iron umbrella!!!!! Deflects radio waves, too!!!!!

Just paid 2.19 a gallon for regular unleaded. This price pushes a fill up to just over $30 bucks. I know it's a hell of a lot better than $65, but it was relly nice doing it for under 30 while it lasted. $29 just seems so much less!

Well it's time to ressurect this thread with gas going from 2.50 a gallon 2 weeks ago to 2.71 a gallon tonight. It went up 5 cents from last night alone!
Wierd thing is diesel is now 2.49 lower than regular like before the last round of upsies!

I wonder who they are gonna blame it on now? No more bush to kick around.

I went out to do some errands on Wednesday morning, and intended on filling up - it had been $2.37 Tuesday evening. It was now $2.41. OK, not too bad, I'll fill on the way home. Oops!! 2 hours later it's $2.46. Last night at 10:30 it was $2.49 - and diesel was only $2.29. Go figure that one out.

My guess - it's greed by the oil companies as the cost of crude has gone up some but not in a proportional amount. But it's still $1.75 less then last year

It was speculators last year and they're at it again. Let's see how it's handled by the current administration. This time around may sink the "left" coast.

hay look at the bright side if gas goes to 4.00 per gal. the government can save us they can take over and run the oil companies like they did the banks and auto mfg. we all know how well that's working out ......ted

Don't give Obama ideas! He will probably be talking to Chavez for advice next.

It's Memorial Day weekend, gas prices always go up....... schools out, Mom, Dad, and the kids are on vacation.... Nothing new here.

Yea it is the Memorial Day weekend, and yea the cost of fuel does usually does start to go up around this time of year. But itsn't it funny when you compare this year to last year at the same time.

This year with Our new King in office the cost is easily explaned away because its Memorial day, kids are outta school and going on vacation with Mom and Dad. While just last year with George Bush in office the rising cost of fuel was layed directly at his feet. It was George Bush's fault to the end.

Amazing the difference we have today, and all because of Good Old King Obama--- Long Live The King!!!
