Grrr...

All of last week, gasoline prices near my office were $3.039 per gallon. Fortunately, I didn't need to fill up at that time.

Yesterday, I noticed it was $2.939 and there was enough bird crap on the roof of my car to affect its aerodynamics so I topped off the tank and washed off the worst of it.

This morning, the price has jumped to $2.999. I'm sure the rate increase has nothing to do with the approaching weekend...

Um, gasoline prices almost always go up for the weekends (and holidays), mainly due to the localized increased demand. This is not new behavior. Check again on Tuesday and it'll probably be back down again.

NM has been in the top 5 highest gas rates for a while now...it's back up to $309.9 as an average.

This makes me so happy that I almost never drive. Unfortunately, I'll end up paying for it in some way. After all, items don't teleport to stores...

Ironically, BEFORE the July 4th holiday, our prices averaged 2.79 per gallon. I was able to use my .40 Giant Eagle grocery savings and filled up for 2.39 before heading south. Unfortunately, sticker shock hit this week as the price has consistently been 3.19 every day of the week - ugh!

I'd be crying if my mileage hadn't dropped 80% in the last week!

This morning's price at the nearest station to my home is $117.4 CAD, or approximately $4.40 US per gallon.

You think that's bad! I've seen when I go to Vancouver the difference between two days a jump of 20 cents per litre (up and down) per day constantly.
