Anyone notice the price of gas keeps going up?

[Ohiogal]

I just heard on the news that gas prices are the highest they've been in 3 years. In my area it's $2.50/gal and I know it's much higher elsewhere.

2. Came back down a little here today.

$2.59 to $2.49. A deplorable was saying that gas is the lowest it's been in years, therefore drumpf is a genius.

4. That's hilarious.

13. I blame Obama. Again.

Five years ago, when the price of gas was going up, ladies at the pool clucked and blamed Obama. Later, when the price came down and went down further, they were silent. I see no reason why cause, effect, and blame should change now.

19. Washington too...

5. It is in Florida.

It’s not unusual for prices to rise during the spring and summer and drop in the fall and winter. Supposedly it’s becausw demand is greater when it’s warmer, more people traveling.

7. $3.69/gal.

In foggy California.

Of course!!

9. Regular $2.75 - Portland, Maine

Creeping up .02 to .03 cents each week.

Getting ready for summer tourist season traffic price increase. What $3.50/gallon by Memorial Day ?

It was $2.75, about 40 cents more than I paid a few weeks ago.

11. I recall it being $4 per gallon in 2014

12. Diesel prices are really through the roof

I paid $3 on Friday. I think it’s the cold; diesel prices are affected by heating oil demand.

14. Although the price of a barrel of oil has rebounded somewhat

it doesn't justify these prices at the pump, IMO. However, some greedy CEOs control over the refineries as well and it seems that they're going to get us one way or another!

15. Gas prices do tend to go up temporarily this time of year when they switch to the "summer blend"

Which is less polluting. I've noticed the increase in prices here in New York, too - suddenly went up to $2.69 in some places. Hoping they'll go back down soon.

17. It's a seasonal thing as well, if you look at commodity charts.

Gasoline, aka RBOB (Reformulated Gasoline Blendstock for Oxygen Blending), which is the term for unleaded gas futures.

Seasonally, gas futures tend to dip in the winter months, November and December, and reach their peaks between April and May.

18. The price of everything keeps going up.

20. Up 30c over the last couple of weeks

Las Vegas, Nevada. I paid $3.06 per gal of regular unleaded this morning.
