I think there is DEFINITELY some gouging going on out there in these places where it's gone off the charts.

Last time I purchased gas was at Sam's on March 4 = $2.29/reg. Sam's website currently displays $2,99/reg.

It will be good to rid the planet of the half century long Iranian menace.

Most don’t realize we’re getting hosed in more way than one. When crude oil prices increase the gas already in the gas station gas tanks (has already been paid for). Increases in the pump prices to us shouldn’t take place until that gas has been replaced and the new price has been paid.

BTW, as an aside, I noticed there are a few prolific posters around here. Some have 100s of posts every month. Hundreds!

One has over 400 posts per month! Whew. Just sayin…

. As far as I know, the net profit margin on gas is under 2%.

I really don't know how it works with the gas stations and pricing. I saw a local news interview with a gas station owner and he said that each night he gets an email from Shell telling him what his prices need to be for tomorrow. He said he has some wiggle room from those, but not much.

I saw prices as high as $6.19 today and I paid $4.58 at an Indian casino station. These were north and east of Fresno.

posting prices in one part of the country isn't that meaningful to those elsewhere. perhaps post what it was a week or month before?

and we all know california has high prices for gas.

some of the 'new' highs will be opportunists (aka scoundrels).

$3.24 for regular.

It's still below $3 for Sam's gas.
