GasBuddy.com says fuel prices could spike within a week anywhere from 10 to 30 cents a gallon, and they could stay higher for several weeks.

Its analysts are blaming aging refineries for unplanned repairs. When those happen, often the oil companies will tackle maintenance issues, too.

Aging refiners?? Why is it that this happens it seems every year at this time?

Why is it that this happens it seems every year at this time?

One thing that happens is they will be switching to "Winter Blend"...

Gotta feed the conspiracy theories just in time for the 2016 Democrat Campaign.

Businesses in this country can be SOOOO STOOOOOOOPID!

Anything with them wanting to sell some oil from the Strategic Reserve.....after the price goes up?

[scooby321]

Oil is down .25 today

48.24

[Jeff Chandler]

Meh. We're under two bucks a gallon right now.

So when oil prices per barrel go up, gasoline prices go up, but when oil prices go down, gasoline still goes up.

Got it.

We were under $2 for a while, but it’s gone up 15 or 20 cents in the last couple of weeks.

Did these magical analysts predict the steep drop in prices we’ve seen?

[Jeff Chandler]

Has this turned into a dating site?

I know it's in the middle of nowhere, but last week in Bullhead, regular was around 2.47 -- we filled up at Sam's at 2.37.

It's always easy to tell you're still in Needles, because the gas prices always begin with one digit higher.

For every reason why gas prices should fall and stay down, there are over 25 reasons why the prices “will necessarily skyrocket.”

you are so FUNNY...NOT

I filled up at the Colleyville, Texas, Kroger yesterday for $1.85

Another thing happening at this time is this switchover to heating oil production from gasoline production. With the end of driving season and the onset of winter, consuming public will be buying less gasoline and more heating oil for the next six months. Happens every year about this time...although many of our correspondents here are completely gobsmacked with surprise each October, like it didn’t happen last year, or the year before that, or the year before that.

I bought road diesel in Temple, Texas for $1.84 yesterday....... I almost fell over.....

Also, I read that Saudi cut oil $1.80 yesterday and was going to lower even more.

Time to fill up the Strategic Reserve.
