Agree. Post #4 (h/t Vendome) has all the factors allowing the gas station operator to exploit his customer’s vulnerabilities.
My fill up yesterday at COSTCO here in northern VA was at $2.97/gallon for regular unleaded. That’s up about $0.30/gallon. Since we are just finishing the summer driving season, the higher price might due to a temporarily tight supply as they switch between the seasonal formulas at the refineries.
Time will tell.
