11. Yes, creeping up slowly in North Georgia.
I paid $1.74 last week and yesterday it went up to $1.79. As of this morning, it was still $1.79. Depending on the county, prices are $1.79 to $1.89.

12. It's gone up here
42 cents in the las month, and may be going up again by the end of the week, since that seems like when they always raise it around here. Diesel has not gone up as much, only about 12 cents in the same time period.

Refineries are cutting back so that they can raise their profits. Last year it was all about "supply and demand", now that prices finally dropped, because of low demand, they are manipulating the prices by cutting production. Once again corporate america allows "greed" to influence prices, and it has nothing at all do do with "supply and demand", just normal old GREED!!!

21. That's nice
but I have asthma and have trouble breathing when it's cold. I do have my trainer set up in the basement, though, so I'll be ready. :-)

17. Creeping to $1.81 from a January low of $1.41 in Denver.
Maybe prices will go down now that the price of crude is back to where it was in January. Or more likely, the speculators have begun their annual spring buying.

19. Yes, it is creeping back up. Yesterday it was $1.97, today $1.99.
Actually $1.99 and 9/10ths, so that is damn close to $2.

20. $2.17, Tarzana, CA. Up 25-30 cents in the past couple of weeks.
They have got to increase it way back up in time for Memorial Day and they think if they do it nice and slow we won't notice or object to their scam.

22. I know the fix is in when
every station in town is the same price, $1.95. Most of the time you can find at least a quarter difference. Some one call the new Sheriff.
