Wow...if you bought 20 gallons you paid an extra $0.80.

I filled up my new car the other day at $1.65 and went to fill up my other car and it was already up to $1.85...30 min. later (the pumps were still at $1.65, though.)

Here they go again.

You Americans, whining your gas has gone up 4 cents. Give me a break! :p

Our gas here in London,Ontario Canada just hit 85 cents per litre. That's $3.145 per gallon. It used to be 71 cents per litre earlier. :|

Maybe 4 cents for the OP, but not for me. I filled up last Thursday for $2.07/gallon. That same station is now $2.23

Anyway, $3.145 CAD is $2.29 USD

I filled up at $2.09 for premium yesterday (self serve). I don't want to think what it will be up to by next week.

First there is no Oil Shortgae. The Saudi have been saying they have shipped more to us than ever before and we actually have a glut of oil. That is why they want to cut back on production.

They say that our Refineries are not processing the oil fast enough to meet market.

Last, we need Gas to go to $3 $4 or even $5 range to get the Mamoth POS SUV's at 8 mpg off the road.

Higher Higher Higher!!!

If you drove by 5 minutes before they changed their prices, then drove by 5 minutes after they changed them... it would have gone up 4 cents in 10 minutes! Gas prices change almost daily, it's nothing new.

Edit: They don't change the prices one cent at a time...
