Regular is now: $3.87 here.
I just got back from a trip up to the "Burbs" and Regular along the way ranged from $3.81 to $4.24.

At Costco over the weekend:

87 octane: $3.629 for her
93 octane: $3.829 for me

Wife wins, as Honda makes things to run on the cheapo stuff. My Nissan GT-R Maxima needs 90 and up.

UPDATE: 5-22-08 Illinois.

Regular went up to, and held at $3.92 for about a week....it just went to $3.99 today, and is $4.07 and up in the "Burbs"
I really thought it would stay under $4.00, and return to around the $2.70's to $2.90's. It looks like "they" are going to push it to the limits this time.

The really bad part is: if it's this bad now, while the world is somewhat "calm"....imagine, if something BIG goes down.

What a "house of cards" the "best and brightest" (sarcasm) have built for the rest of us.

We are still holding at $1.23 - 1.25/liter, but I suspect it will soon be going up.

The gas stations/companies have been getting alot of flak for raising the fuel prices a few days before a long weekend. This sort of thing has been happening for many years but the outrage has been getting very strong lately so the stations seem to be raising the prices a few weeks before 3-5 cents at a time, then holding that price till about early to mid-June then raising them every weekend till the week before the next long weekend, then hold that price till after Labor day, then the prices drop about 5-10 cents and then we think we are getting a deal.\:\(

Prices in Des Moines, Iowa went up a day ago.

Regular went up to $3.79 gallon (what my wife's minivan takes)
and I am now paying $4.09 gallon for premium (what my supercharged GTP drinks)...

Man!........I just posted yesterday.
Today, I see it's $4.07 here for regular.

Now I know why Gas Stations have invested in those new signs.
No more moving letters with a stick...the person inside just hits some buttons, and.....INSTANT RIP-OFF!

Saw diesel for $5.25 yesterday. Of course, that's the rip off station, but it's usually only .25-.50 more than others.
