Was it just me?

I SWEAR I saw gas prices hovering at just above $4.00 yesterday and today when I stopped to put gas in my car today it was right back up to $4.30.  :facepalm:

Re: Was it just me?

  • i was so mad when i pulled into the gas station this morning!
    It was 3.98 at the same place two days ago!

    i honestly don't know enough about how the price of gas works but how did it change so much in two days? could they even have gotten a fill up in that time?

  • Wasn't just you...yesterday AM it was $4.09 when we drove in, driving home it was $4.19.  It is BS.  It makes me angry.  Of course this is after the article came out about prices going down to around $3.50 or whatever.

  • Nope, DH found it for 3.98 in the AM and filled up at lunch and the same station was up to 4.35 after work

  • Yep, Monday I saw $3.90. I should have gotten gas then.
  • It's not just you.  Over the weekend they were back down to around $3.99 in my area, and then yesterday and today I noticed them back up around $4.15.  I stopped trying to understand it though.
  • And this is why I don't pay attention to prices except for when I am close to needing to get gas.  It would just frustrate me too much.

  • You can't understand it because there's no logic to it.  They can raise prices, then make them go down a little so we feel better, then back up again so they can make more $$$.  It's greed pure and simple.

  • Yesterday dh and I noticed a Marathon by our hose was at 4.39!!!!!! All the others were around the 4 dollar mark. I haven't looked today.

    I know stations typically charge what the cost was to them at there last fuel drop so if they vary at when they got fuel from the place across the street it will be different but they usually 'catch up' to each other pretty quickly. From what I understand a large bulk of a gas stations profits are actually made in store and not necessarily by their fuel.

  • I have been checking GasBuddy.com. Prices in my area are just below $4. I need to gas up today before it goes up another $.20.

  • I once went into the station to pay for the cash price for gas and came back out to the pump - the price had jumped up $0.10 in that period.  I got it for the cheaper price but it still made me angry that in 2 minutes the price of gas jumped.

    That would very serioulsy pi$$ me off.

  • Same here and of course I waited until today to put gas in my car. 
  • uggh, it's so annoying.

    DH told me the other day how he cant WAIT to go camping this year with our trailer.  luckily it's pretty light, but it will still suck out more fuel from his truck then it already does w/o the trailer.
