Coming back from Columbia yesterday everything was well over $4 but they were starting to bring the prices down some... The place we got gas from said $3.99 on the sign but when we got to the pump it was only $3.55 so I would imagine it should start going back down...

if NC had the same kind of ruckus down there as they did here in Lynchburg, then that man clearly doesn't understand the relationship between price and the laws supply and demand.

Florida is doing the same thing...
...going after stations such as Valero and Pilot.

Governor Kaine, on the other hand, wants people to "remain calm." Yeah....that does the trick.

I don't know what's funnier, the fact that some stations started charging $4.99 while the others in the area were between $3.69-$3.99, or the fact that idiots still bought gas at the couple of stations that charged $4.99 when others were over a dollar cheaper.

News 13 reported that the state is investigating the price gouging reports...and stated that Big Horn Market was actually CLEARED of the charges...due to gasoline REPLACEMENT COST. Makes sense to me.

Out here in the Northwest we saw barely any increase at all. 0-5 cents. Should come back down soon.

Oil is now about $92/barrell, Ike is gone, the pipes are back online. Gas went up again overnight. The cheapest I've seen locally is $3.85 with most around $3.99. This might be a dumb question, but shouldn't the prices be dropping some now?
