I just heard on the news that gas prices are the highest they've been in 3 years. In my area it's $2.50/gal and I know it's much higher elsewhere.

(6,376 posts)Its not unusual for prices to rise during the spring and summer and drop in the fall and winter. Supposedly its becausw demand is greater when its warmer, more people traveling.

(17,301 posts)it doesn't justify these prices at the pump, IMO. However, some greedy CEOs control over the refineries as well and it seems that they're going to get us one way or another!
