I havn't posted lately but were rising here too. We went from a low of 1.44 gal for reg to a avg now of 1.75 and seem to be settled in there for now. I wish I had bought more than one tank at 1.55 but I was expecting it to drop some more.
The news is saying now that the retailers are jacking the prices up themselves to make profit in a slow market. Mainly because noone can stop them and less people complain when the price is relatively low.
