This past Thursday I filled the trusty F150's gas tank, paying $3.689 per gallon for the privilege.
This afternoon on my way home I passed by the gas station and saw regular had jumped to $3.919 per gallon. WTF?
That's a 23¢ per gallon jump in only 5 days.
Did I miss some earth-shattering news that caused oil prices to spike some time in the past few days? I know prices tend to fall after the summer season ends and then jumps up a bit when the refiners start changing over to making the winter blends of gasoline as well as increasing fuel oil and propane production. But what the heck?

Same here, prices are up over $4, even if you're paying cash. My vote is Issac....
Ysterday afternoon I rode into town to pick up some milk - gas was at $3.92. Last night after voting, WS had to go into town to get gas - the price was $3.96. I don't know if it's backlash for the refineries shutting down during the hurricane, but yeah, it hurts a bit.
Saturday I'll be picking up my 2008 Toyota Tacoma in four cylinder, manual transmission. I hope I get decent gas mileage. I'm excited.
These prices may make me regret not getting a Corolla, though.
