Hillarys Gate where are you posting from? Im curious. That makes people in 3 states(?) that have heard the same thing. Anyone got a relative in the business who could track down some information?

I am in the business and can say that we expect wholesale prices to top $4 this evening, which is a rise of nearly a dollar for the day. They may go higher. This is partly due to refineries closing in TX and thus shutting off supply to the SE. This is an extremely short-term spike, the kind that people with cash can make profits on if they can get in fast enough (they’re probably already too late to profit, though).
Fear not.
I got my tank filled yesterday, so paid 3.61/gal. I probably saved about 15 cents a gallon on the spot now and more tomorrow and over the weekend.
