regular has been $2.39 here for weeks. 
I sure hope that we don't see $.30 on top of that.

Northwest Indiana went to $2.53 today, the news media said yesterday to expect higher prices, so naturaly the oil companies obliged them. Remember last year when the dam media said over $3.00 by summer, it happened.

These damned morons jack the price of oil over the stupidest things....and they don't even USE the oil or ever get to see it....they just buy it and resell it at a profit.
If there is no increased profit margin in sight, they invent another "potential threat to oil production" as a perceived fear, so they CAN raised the price oil sells at.
Then there are the refineries. No one cares to talk about the refinery problem, do they? The oil companies have conspired to cause an artificial oil shortage by way of limited refining capacity, so as to have yet ANOTHER reason to jack the price at the pump even higher.
And whatever price they end up with to line their pockets and the pockets of all the shareholders, we will pay. We always have....we always will.
