Update.

My local Shell is up 21 cents in the last five days and 54 cents in the last three weeks. I guess this means spring is here.....

There is a 76 Union @ 26th and Wilshire in Santa Monica that has 91 octane for $5.99, or if you want to pump it yourself for $5.19:yikes::yikes:

Devils Advocate here,
It's called the law of supply and demand.
If you can cut the supply, You can create the demand, and then raise prices.:roflblack:

Hello boborgera: Yes, we went around on this one last year. No problem. This year, I am trying to stay out of the politics of the situation--other than what I stated in the opening post of the thread.

I just want to see what is happening with the prices this year. My premise is that each year it seems to be a pattern. Start raising the prices asap, take advantage of the people driving in the summer, get the prices up higher than ever before, reduce the price at the end of the season to something where we feel we are getting a deal (at higher prices than the start of the season), and then wait for the next reason to raise prices again.

I would so like to be wrong, but the last two years seem to be following "the pattern".

$3.88 for 87 octane is the cheapest I found in my area right now.

Humboldt County Gas Prices

Summer is on the way and the prices are going up at a record pace.

As of 2/8/13 gas was up to $3.71 a gallon for regular and $3.91 per gallon for 90 octane (spyderfuel). This is now the highest gas has ever been at this time of the year in Alaska.

My prediction: We will see $5.00 per gallon plus by Memorial Day, and $6.00 or more per gallon by the end of summer. Then--they will cut us a break and we will only have to pay $4.00 per gallon plus until they play the game again in 2014.

Humboldt County is $4.29 gallon. Blue Lake, Ca. Casino is $4.07 We are the highest in the nation, I think.

Bonniele: Currently, you are looking like the winner. We are up to $3.78 and $3.98 for :spyder2: fuel as of today. 2/16/13.
