Bangor, ME... $3.65 a gallon. It just keeps going up and up and up. Of course, heating oil is about the same, and yesterday morning it was -13 degrees AND there was a wind chill in addition to that! Not sure how we're gonna make it to May this year
Thanks, but DH doesn't read he just drives in the vicinity. He's not going
past the area to find a better price. Old habits die hard. I will keep note

So why are prices skyrocketing?
The latest Lundberg Survey of cities in the continental United States was conducted Friday. It showed the national average for a price of self-serve unleaded gasoline at $3.51, an increase of 32.7 cents from the last survey two weeks earlier.
The jump was the biggest since a 38-cent hike between August and September 2005. At the time, the price increase was driven by damage caused by Hurricane Katrina.
The current average price of $3.51 is 61 cents below the all-time high price recorded in July 2008. Today's price is 78 cents higher than a year ago, Lundberg said.
If I pay cash I can still get in the $3.50-$3.60 range at Arco depending on the location
We went from $3.65 to $3.71 in a period of 4 days in Irvine, but its been stable for the past 4 days or so. In Valencia, its gone down from $3.81 to $3.75.
