Regular gasoline up 18 cents/gal. in about three days here in central

[theophilus]

Arkansas. Is it going up in your neck of the woods? Have there been any reasons given? Is this just local with us here in Arky land? Sound off!

1. It does that leading into every major holiday

[theophilus]

2. It actually went down here leading up to and through Memorial day. n/t

[theophilus]

4. It also went down here before Christmas and stayed down through

the shopping season.

6. Not being snippy but are you writing down the prices

like every week or something? Just wondering.

[theophilus]

8. No, but when you are poor like me it kinda gets to be a hobby to

note the ups and downs. Don't worry about snippiness. I didn't want to come across as snippy either. The only reason I posted is that here in my location prices have NOT been running in the natural ways. I understand about the holidays, etc. It has been running counter to that here and that is another reason we notice. It might just be a local phenomenon designed to keep the Huckabeelovers happy. Who knows?

5. Paid $2.79 on Wednesday, same station now $2.99....

I know Southern NJ is better than some areas of the country, as far as prices go, but $.20 in two days is crazy. :grr:

about two weeks.

11. Hmmm....

I haven't really been paying attention to the gas prices, but I haven't noticed any major jumps around here.
