$2.72 for regular at our station in Columbia, MD. The highest I ever saw is when I was going to school in the Chicago area in '99,during the breif shortage that happened then. It was like $2.78 for 87.

Stop being crybabies about it.

Well if your prices have been jacked up by the same percentage in the last couple years as ours, you'd be bitching just the same.

For real, this all started in winter of 99/00. It "jumped" up from $1.20 to $1.45. Since then it pretty much goes up, then comes down a little, then goes up, comes down a little. Theres been days where its jumped .20 cents. I've said it the whole time too, we were conditioned to accept the change.

It wouldn't be so frustrating if the public knew exactly why its going up. Its always lame ass excuses like more people are driving, its driving season, ect. Some where in a dark board room under a mountain this was planed.

one thing that i dont understand is why the prices of diffrent grades of gas stay at a gap of 10 cents greater for each jump in grade of octane. shouldent it be on a slope? and not binded to the constant 10 cents. but more of a variable number or atleast a percentage? ???
