Went up 3 cents yesterday and the late news last night says oil is up $2/barrel. I am betting that it will go up around 25 cents before it stops. Much too good an opportunity for the companies to raise prices. Harry k |

I might need to upgrade my estimate of the rise. Started at 3.09 before the shutdown, was 3.15 yesterday (up 6c) and still 3.15 this morning. Just came back trough town and it is now 3.23. A rise of 14 cents in just two days. Except for people living in fairly large cities, most people don't have the option of metrolink or any other public transportation. Harry K |

Over the weekend in northeast Missouri (Kirksville) the gas jumped from $2.84 to $2.89 - BEFORE the leak news surfaced. It actually dropped a cent here yesterday, but I'm betting it's temporory. |

In the chicago area, gasoline is still hovering between 3.239 and 3289 depending on station. Has been this way for a couple weeks. |
