OK, that 's fine, so how do you account for the jump in price from $1.95
to
$3.20 in just 3 months?

Supply Demand. Don't you think that if there was really an oil
company conspiracy to raise gas prices that Congressmen and
Congresswomen would be on it like flies on ****? You saw the
inquisition about the record profits. Opportunists can be useful, if
there was such a conspiracy Congress would redefine the term "useful
idiot."

The price is not $3.20 now, you seem to be forgetting that, unless you
are buying premium.

You seem to be forgetting gas prices are different throughout the US due to
state & local taxes. My gas prices are closer to $2.40 per gallon for
regular. I know the state I live in gets a piece of the puzzle as well.

DB - the price you pay for gas is determined by many factors. Just a small
handful was already listed. Another factor is the state you live in might
be taxing the gas price. Then there are many other factors.

Thanks,
Tracy
