This thread is not at all what I thought it was

About $3.59 here in Aurora.

I was there a few weeks ago. Left on a Friday and it was $3.55. Returned the following Monday and it was $3.72. A couple days later it was $3.89. (oil had gone up a few $/bbl that week).

In FL, prices went from $3.29-ish to $3.35-ish.

It's nearly US $8/gal here in the UK

It was the first time I'd seen any over $4.

It was a place (Safeway) where it's usually among the lowest, so I saw that and thought I'd better get it there, assuming it would be higher elsewhere.

But as I contiued in to work, the other prices were still showing at $3.79 0 $3.99.

Something really weird is going on with gas prices in Minnesota. We're now in a league with California, Hawaii, and Alaska for the highest prices in the U.S.

... are "down for scheduled maintenance" just as the "switching to the summer blend" price gouge hits. At least that's the lie they are using for ripping us off this time.

Fortunately, I had just filled up with a 41 cent/gallon savings from a local grocery chain.

I'm running on fumes right now. Gotta check and see if we have any "points" left on our card for a tank of gas.

those you don't normally use, it's a good deal.

I've had as high as 57 cents. For young families that buy a lot of groceries, this could run over $2 pretty easily. It's surprising how fast the points add up.

But she shops there a lot. We don't shop there much but have started to with the gas card. Like you said, we have to be careful not to buy just for the points.

I admittedly don't shop around ... I just go to my favorite gas station (when I am not on the road)
