Question What the F&^% happened to GAS prices today!?!?!?!?

This morning it was $2.079 at the station down the street. Got home tonight and it is now $2.259!!! What the heck? I think we all know dang well that the price of oil may have gone up today but that the gas in the underground tank at ANY station in America was refined weeks ago and in my opinion should not be effected by the price of oil today.

I just don't get how gas could go up nearly $0.20 in a few hours.... pisses me off!!

Yea but you can bet your a$$ that they won't lower it until every last drop of the other is gone. I am with you, this is really starting to suck.

Get used to it....it's the frickin Chinese. We were better off when they were using ox carts, sailing junks, and using rickshaws for taxis

This is where the end retailers make out. You would think the gas in the underground tanks reflect the previous going rate, but yet they sell it for the current increased rate. I agree, it's not right. We need to dip into our reserves till the Gov. gets something straightened out.

most commodities sell at current market value, not what the retailer bought it for.... and gas is a commodity.. try building houses when lumber, sheetrock and steel change every week and you might have bid the job 6 months ago... plus now everybody is tacking on fuel surcharges for every delivery.....

I paid $2.049 for diesel today. Someone told me that diesel gets cheaper in the summertime. Is that true???

diesel gets cheaper around here due to the fact that heating oil and kerosene demand go down... i don't know about other parts of the country
