VI,

I live on the other side of 70 (go cards!).  Gas was sitting at $1.98 and bumped to 2.18 yesterday afternoon.  I think anything within a $.25 change is pretty normal.  Now that's me, but it's still flat looking at the bigger picture.  It's going to gyrate around 2-2.25 in my area until Nov IMHO.

I fully expect to see $3 gas by the end of the year.  It's kind of like oil right now.  It's almost range bound.  It's just moving sideways and not really moving up or down week to week, like I believe, until Nov.  I'm not going to get into the manipulation camp, but only time will tell.

No, I know there's a lot of fluctuation normally.  It's just that here in KC, the prices had sat around $1.93 to 1.96 for several weeks...they were very stable.

And then this morning they shot up...just wierd.

"I live on the other side of 70"

Highway 70? Then likely you live in Florissant or nearby 'burbs'.  Maybe Hazelwood. Less likely Ferguson(where I went to grade school).

Still $2.04 here in Ky.

I thought so...just wasn't sure because the KC - Westport is about 2 miles south of I-70 as well...freaky.

I think it's more to do with the same crappy transportation planning that is littered throughout the state.
