during the last "gas crunch" natrona country in wyoming had the lowest average price nationally for gas.

there's a refinery here and everything and I think we're still at like $3.15 a gallon for regular unleaded ..... wonder why SA gets the nod this time ....

Got $2.99/gal here in Austin earlier this afternoon, though that's only a couple of cents below the average in the area.

Gas companies looking for a bigger profit, who can blame them.

Nothing to be done about it short of not buying anymore gas, but we can't do that with no practical alternatives out there. It's not the government's business and they need to stay out of it. Laissez faire and such.

I think it'll go back to under $3.00, if only for a short while. This spike was just due holiday/summer. If it goes back over $3.00 during the winter/non-holiday, then it's not coming back down.

And it's back under $3.00.
