Gas Pump Price Up First Time in 4 Weeks

[Robbien]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. retail gasoline prices increased for the first time in four weeks, as higher crude oil costs were apparently passed on to consumers at the pump, the government said on Monday.

The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline jumped 2 cents over the last week to $1.866 a gallon. That is up 22 cents from a year ago, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly survey of service stations. Gasoline prices normally decline in September after the end of the busy U.S. summer driving season.

The weekly report also showed gasoline prices were up half a penny to $1.987 in Seattle, down 0.2 cent to $1.922 in Miami, up 3.4 cents to $1.92 in Chicago, down 1.7 cents to $1.895 in New York City and up 5.9 cents to $1.875 in Cleveland.

Separately, the EIA survey said the average pump price for diesel fuel increased 3.8 cents to $1.912 a gallon, up 47 cents from a year earlier.

1. We're on our way back DOWN...

Saw $1.989 last week, filled up at $1.799 (kid must've been too busy to change the sign) next day it was $1.969.
Now it's down to $1.889...

There's no damn reason for it.
"Hey, Boss...Everything went up 20-200%, I need a 50% raise!"

"Hey Jawnn, Fuck. Off. (heheheheheheheeee)"

Wish *I* was a fucking oil company...
