Gasoline prices in NorthEast ILLINOIS just went over $3...BIG TIME...price increase has been OVER .80 in two days.
Reg-3.30
MID-3.40
HI-3.50
Give or take two or three cents...GOUGING? Yep, the gas in their tanks was ALREADY there this week!!
Mixed feelings about high prices, I really could care less, but it's the PRINCIPLE of the the raises...we DON'T have to have them!!
Enviromentalist Wackos have caused this!!

The service station owners must make enough $$$ to pay the jobbers for the increased cost to them for the next load of fuel.

Gas stations generally have to charge based on the price of the incoming shipment; they don't have that much of a profit margin (except maybe in Wisconsin, where the gubmint actually mandates that they make a healthy profit on gasoline).
If we had gotten ANWR drilling started back in 2001, this particular impact would be a lot less.

($3.00 a gallon is the price you pay for ANWR! Start drilling or stop whining! - HT Falcon4.0)

They explained on the radio from OKC that what you are paying for is the contracts they are signing to refill the tanks. Fortunately, where I buy gas they signed a contract before the hurricane.
