Gas prices in Washington and Oregon could rise as much as 35 cents per gallon by the end of the weekend due to tight supplies that are boosting prices, an industry analyst said Wednesday. That could push the average price for unleaded to $4.59 in Washington and $4.56 in Oregon by Sunday.

"I expect stations to increase prices as much as 10-35 cents per gallon by the conclusion of the weekend with some stations starting to raise prices immediately," said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst.

Gasbuddy says wholesale gasoline prices, the price stations pay before taxes and freight charges, is at its highest level ever recorded for the Pacific Northwest.


Maintenance MY ASS..... These Bastards know when they are going to shut refinery's down. There is no need to have these spikes when they could just adjust the price at the beginning of the year.... this is nothing but legalized PRICE GOUGING.

1. 35 cents AAA doesn't think so, will be interesting.

AAA, a trusted source for gas price information, is warning they are not getting the same information gasbuddy.com is reporting. In fact, they expect prices to stay steady or even drop slightly over the weekend.

2. They jumped here 30 cents yesterday from 3.59 to 3.85

today it was back down to 3.64. Yes, it is just gouging and they do it because they can.

3. Memorial Day Weekend -

But I'm happy I filled up Sunday. I'm in Texas so it's lower, but with my .60 a gallon discount from Kroger I paid $2.88/gallon. I just drive my kids around so hopefully that'll last at least another week.

7. I really think Obama needs to investigate the entire oil industry. It would probably be useless, but

it would look like he's trying to something about it.

8. When prices rise like that,

Never buying anything except fuel at a gas station. No hot dogs, pop, smokes or candy bars. It helps to lower the price if you only buy a gallon or 2 at a time until the price drops, then fill up. If an independent station is a penny cheaper, buy it there.

I worked the last year at a gas station and I know how to hurt em. They make a lot of money off store sales and working the help to death.

SINGAPORE - Oil fell to a seven-month low near US$91 a barrel Wednesday in Asia after Iran agreed to allow the U.N. nuclear agency to restart an investigation into the country's nuclear program.

Remember how S....L....O.....W....L....Y the rate drops, and see how fast it increases? Used to be one or two cents, now it leaps by 10 or 20.

Fucking speculators..... Someone draw me a noose...

They know how to play the game: Create scarcity, and reap the wild wind ....

14. Filled up for $3.499 this afternoon

Specialized anti-polution blends and high taxes are much of the difference.

15. What would raising the price in January do to the price now?

I don't get what you think that would do.
