[Remodeling Maidiac]

They were under three bucks a few weeks ago and now they appear to be on a trajectory for four bucks.

You have issues with a market system? There are others you know.

Wouldn't be so bad if the damn taxes weren't so high on the gas....Tn,SC are some of the best in the south...

Speculation over the effect of Ukraine on oil prices. Crude jumped to over $105 per barrel. It is now $98.

Spring break is a very big travel time, more demand equals higher prices.

No one has unregulated market system, no country in the world. Ever wonder why that is?

You're usually smater than this.
Gasoline prices are the results of supply/demand with some local taxes throw in.
The best way to lower prices is only pump a few gallons at a time.
The pain will flow back up the system and the price will drop in a scant few weeks.
