You do know that Common Courtesy was talking about outside Denver and not the country as a whole right? Like last week when you identified a few areas that were rising, you considered the whole country was going up when in reality it was going down.
And note, in some states/areas - the trend is still downward.

Still dropping in Rochester, but we were way behind the curve; oil went down but gas was dragging.
Anyway, with oil now up from its lows, it's natural that after the lag is taken into account (gas prices follow oil with a delay), that national gas would rise. Oil remains the most expensive part of a gallon of gas, so if it's more expensive, gas will be, too.

Still holding steady or dropping in the Tampa/St Pete area. Still a bunch of stations in the $1.53-1.54 range. Saw one at $1.50.

1-2-2009 Oil prices rebound above 46 dollars per barrel
Oil prices ended higher Friday on the first day of 2009 trading Friday as investors focused on commodities amid tensions over Israel's onslaught on Gaza, and a Russia-Ukraine gas row.
"The volatility is amazing," said independent analyst Ellis Eckland, noting that investors were refocusing on commodities after experiencing their "worst quarter."
Prices may remain at current levels until US president-elect Barack Obama takes office on January 20 when his policies on the US economy, key oil producer Iran and the Israeli-Hamas conflict become clearer for the market, said Platts analyst Dave Ernsberger.

1-2-2009 Gas prices jump at the pump
It's only a few cents so far, but gas prices are creeping up again, causing most people to shell out a few extra dollars at the pump. News 3's Collette Wieland explains that if the federal government gets its way, this trend may continue in the future.
Right now, the average price of regular unleaded in the valley is $1.77. According to the Vegas Gas Prices web site, gas stations are selling anywhere from $1.48 to $2.00 - but experts predict prices could steadily climb until the summer.
Huey's Mart on Decatur and Vegas Drive is a ghost town Friday when compared to what it usually looks like. A few months ago, Hue Canady gained a reputation for selling the cheapest gas in Las Vegas, even creating some of the longest lines in the valley.
Now, however, his prices are among the highest. Just last week, he was selling a gallon of regular unleaded gas for $1.79. Friday, prices jumped to $2.08.
"We're in a depression. We're not in a recession," says Hue. "They keep saying recession, but it's a depression. This is the worst. I've been in business for 40 years, and I've never seen it this bad before."
But other gas stations in town are still selling for less than $2.00 per gallon. So why can't Huey's Mart slash prices?
"Independent stations - they get what's left over from what the majors don't want to buy. So when the majors are real low...they can afford to do it. So it runs our price up as independents."
In the past, Hue could afford to lose a little bit of money on gas, as long as gambling and sales inside his store were good. But these days, people are only buying what they need.
As for the federal government, a commission created by Congress is recommending a 50 percent increase in fuel taxes to finance highway construction and repair. In a report expected later this month, the commission will urge Congress to raise the gas tax, which is now 18.4 cents per gallon, by an additional 10 cents.
The money from the tax increases would help fund road, bridge, and transit programs across the country. The government claims the tax hike is needed because Americans are driving less. As a result, they are buying less gasoline, which makes less tax dollars available for traffic projects.

1-2-2009 Gas prices are on the rise
The holidays ended with an unwanted gift for drivers ? higher gas prices. Area gas stations are charging more than $1.75 a gallon.
Experts say OPEC is cutting production. Violence in the Middle East and a dispute over natural gas in Russia caused the increase.

I have been saying all along that once the holidays were over, it was going to jump back up. I think it was lowered to get people's confidence up a bit and encourage spending at the stores over the holidays. Now that the shopping season has ended, they are jacking the prices back up again! It was 1.85 to 1.89 in Knox today.

Isn't this great? A war on the rise effects the oil prices half way around the world. The oil wells haven't even been blown up yet.They cut back on production. What? To make more money? Do we have a new leader that can freeze these gas prices and stop this madness? A disput over gas in Russia hurts us too. Won't be long and gas will be over $4 or more a gallon soon. There is no hope for us, and a real depression is coming.

So let me guess the wind blew and they had to raise the prices. Isn't it funny that the price of crude keeps dropping, and yet our prices still remain more than $1.50. Hmmm...

Hi Ms Wieland,
Your story about gas prices going up is incorrect according to the experts at Anandtech:

You and the rest just spent a bunch of posts saying prices are falling.
You mean prices won't rise after the current excess supply of crude and excess domestic refined gas are sold off ? You mean Multi-National oil corporations won't do anything they can to return to their recent profit levels? Do you really believe that?
I'll go out on a limb and predict $2.75 to $3.25 regular Gas by oh... I'll say the Fourth of July weekend. Labor Day at the latest.

Your inability to read is simply amazing. Your ability to troll is legendary.
Dear Dave,
Leave me alone, gas prices are up a few cents, stop treating it like it's up to $10 a gallon. Oh and stop getting yourself fired!
Thank you for reading and please don't write again.

What do multinational oil corporations have to do with the price of oil? Looks like you and Dave can both use some reading up on world commodity markets. You guys sharing a pipe now?
Why did gas increase .30 in the last week in Michigan?
