FuelWatch: 87 octane took a 14 cent leap overnight (WNY)
I couldn't believe my eyes when gasoline went from 3.99 to 4.13 OVERNIGHT in one location!

In fact, most places in the area took a large leap over night, most going from 3.98/9 to between 4.05 - 4.10

How's it look in your area?

:sigh:

5. My sister got gas at a metro Detroit station last night
and by this morning it had jumped 20 cents to a whopping $4.19 per gallon!!!! They are totally scamming us and it should be against the law.

A year ago, I would have been appalled at the mere thought of taking public trans. But I am enjoying every mile of it, now.

on edit:
Oh, yeah. I believe Marin County (where I reside) was the first to see $4 gas.

7. It bumped 10 cents from $3.70 to $3.80 yesterday here in south Texas.
Premium fuel is $3.999, aka four bucks.

8. I remember almost choking the first time I paid over $3.00
Last night I paid $3.99.

I'm seriously considering a mohawk cut and adding a whole bunch of leather to my wardrobe.
