Prices are steady and even trending downward here in West Virginia. Remember, there's all sorts of regional variations in gasoline due to the myriad of junk-science-based pollution laws each state has enacted. Some costs more to make than others; some can only be made at refineries in one part of the country and then has to be trucked at extra expense to whereever it's supposed to be sold, etc. And of course there's always plain old supply-and-demand issues, local competition, etc. How cold has it been up there lately? Any long stretches of icy roads keeping a lot of deliveries from being made recently? Does a certain Illinois-mandated gas mix have to be sold from, say Dec. 15 - May 15? It could be any number of things.

All in all, crude prices have certainly gone up over the past year, but looking at the 50-day moving average, it's really just been swinging back and forth in roughly the same $2 range over the last 60 days:
