Oil has topped it's record price set in October last year. $85.60/bbl today:oops:.
Joe's dream of low gas prices near the election ain't gonna happen. :cry:
Gas prices are one of the few things that you can predict, it follows oil a month later.
On topic: seeing $3.19/gal everywhere here.

A lot more than this time last week, I forgot to see what the pump price was yesterday when I was out scavenging Ev rims for my firewood projects I had heard that the new tax bumped the price 30cents a litre, that is a$1.34 a gallon, tax increase
 
I went to Costco yesterday, they usually have the best prices 154.9 a litre for 87 octane / makes 5.82 a us gallon.
 
I just looked at my invoice form march 31 , it was 1.24 a litre. 4.68 us gallon. still way too much but thanks, sock boy
 
If gas hits $3.50 a gallon across the country, my guess is that it will become a political hot potato.
Its gonna happen. Checked the price of oil lately?
Oil is at $86.73 today.

In the past few days gas has risen to $3.89 here in southern Indiana. Found this article from a couple of days ago.


Chicago-area gas prices are surging after a tornado nearly took out a refinery
Matt Egan

In Chicago, a gallon of gas is now selling for around $4.34, according to AAA.

Gas prices have spiked in and around Chicago after a tornado sidelined a major ExxonMobil oil refinery last week.

A gallon of gas in Chicago is now selling for an average of $4.34, according to AAA.

That’s 27 cents more expensive than just a week ago after a tornado narrowly missed the Joliet Refinery and knocked power out to the Channahon, Illinois, facility.

But it’s not just Chicago getting hit with higher prices.

The top 10 US metro areas experiencing the biggest one-week gas price increases are all located in the region, according to AAA.

In Gary, Indiana, the average price for regular gasoline has spiked by 41 cents over the past week to $3.65 a gallon.

In Wisconsin — a key battleground state that Vice President Kamala Harris visited Tuesday — gas prices have increased sharply over the past week in Kenosha County (+31 cents), Milwaukee-Waukesha (+27 cents) and Racine (+24 cents).

Gas prices have also jumped in nearby Michigan, another battleground state in the upcoming presidential election.

Andy Lipow, president of consulting firm Lipow Oil Associates, noted there are estimates that the refinery will be sidelined for three weeks. Even then, there’s no guarantee it will be back to normal. In the meantime, gasoline is being shipped from the Gulf Coast to the Chicago area, he said.

The Joliet Refinery now has enough power to assess damage to the equipment and begin the work of restarting operations, Exxon spokesperson Catie Tuley told CNN on Wednesday. Exxon declined to speculate on how long the restart will take.

Got back about three weeks ago from a vacation trip: Idaho, northern Nevada, northern California, southern Oregon, and back home; gas prices were all over the place. Lake Tahoe area was among the highest, with prices around USD 4.45/gal average and up to USD 5.53/gal in the Redding/Mt. Shasta region. Average USD 3.50/gal here in southern Idaho.
