We stopped for gas yesterday, as the van was almost on empty and only filled it up halfway. Know why? That's right....the price. Now, are you sitting down? No? Then you'd better get there quickly because the price will knock your socks off. We paid $3.19/gallon here in northern Indiana. Across the border a couple miles into Michigan, the price was $3.10 and apparently in central Indiana (according to my inlaws) the price was also $3.20.
WHY.....WHY.....WHY.....WHY?????????????
Can somebody please explain why gas is going up this time? It's not yet the summer driving season. Memorial day hasn't even come yet. So should we expect $4.00/gallon this summer? A couple of years ago, that would have been outrageous...now, I wouldn't be surprised.
So what are you paying for gas? How does Indiana compare to your state?

The Arco station by my house (usually about the cheapest) is $3.35. The Shell station across from it has been consistently $.04 higher than Arco until a week ago (to cover the cost of taking credit cards). But for the past week it's been $.12 higher (no idea why), so it's going for $3.47. I just put in $20 at the Arco station. Makes me want to just stay home.
Methinks it's high time we invade another oil rich country.
I'm with Jacob!
On Thursday, here in central Ohio, we too paid $3.19 a gallon. I feel your pain. We only put $30 in the tank and then headed shopping where you get 20 cents off a gallon per every $50 spent on groceries. So I spent $130 and got 50 cents off and put another $26 in to fill up the tank in the Jeep.
Plenty of oil... Too few refineries... The "greens" lobby against new ones, and the oil companies are certainly willing to let the market "up the price" when the refineries we have are down for service.
At least that's what I've heard.
Ethanol, anyone?
You got it Chris.
Why aren't we building new nuclear power plants? It's much safer than minning coal.
I think the "greens" are getting oil kick backs!
