OK, your guess, please....up 5 - 10 cents by Friday or not???

I would surely guess up. The gas did not drop at all here in CT. It's now at $4 for regular at the all the high volume stations (like those near the highway).

We will probably see $5 gas by summer.

I figured it about like you too. My point is it is predictable with a .88 probability when the prices will go up at the pump and how much by the weekend.

Factor any news about oil delivery, gas production problem news story and weight it with a 1, 2, or 3 (number of stories printed and volumes affected) as it's significance and the 0.88 is dang near repeatable every week.
