Gas up .24 in just two days
Diverteach ^ | 1/07/14 | diverteach

I buy my gas at the same station almost daily. Wednesday I paid $3.20 for regular unleaded. Yesterday it jumped to $3.24. Eh, not so unusual. This morning jumped to $3.44. Something's afoot, .24 in 2 days this is NOT a good sign.

Just checked gasbuddy.com and wondering why they are showing prices trending down?

Where are you; what city? We next some context here.

In Acworth Georgia the prices have been declining for the last two weeks to $3.07.

Could another key gas station, nearby, closed spiking prices near a key highway or something?

try buying propane! Premium gas is always higher too! the colder weather is driving up prices. Tourism (snowmobilers) are staying away too.

I’ve been paying $3.59 for what seems like years. Hardly ever fluctuates.

You might see a lot of movement in the next few weeks. Some regions use different blends from Nov - Feb for emissions purposes. The changeover generally causes such spikes.

Remember the good ol’ days when just a few days of $3+ gas caused continuous hyperventilating by the media, much less 4 continuous years of it?

You must buy gas at the same place I do. $2.97 was what I paid at QT in south FW TX yesterday.
Still TOO DAMN HIGH if you ask me ;-)!!

I traveled right after the ice storms down South - prices in the path were already up from 3.09 or so to 3.39 in the path of it. On the way back, the same places had 3.13-3.24. Opportunists...
