Only a few years ago, premium was around a buck. Now, it's heading towards $3 very soon. BUSH SUCKS! Iraqi war sucks!

 

Bush has nothing to do with the oil prices going up. OPEC cutting down there share of oil is a major part of the reason. If the Iraq war was all about oil which some people say why isn't gas so cheap right now....We have a presedential candidate Kerry who voted to raise gas prices...ahhh lets not go political and have this closed.

 

$2.27 for 93 NYC...some places are $2.47

 

Yes, but economists say that the gas price hikes are due to the problems in Iraq, and Bush is involved in Iraq. It is not the only cause, but is a major one.

 

93 now at $2.20, up 11 cents in 3 days.

 

Why do some states have higher octane than others? Some even have 94-octane.

 

92 octane the highest in WA.

 

2.099 at the place today I filled up yesterday for 2.109. So it actually dropped a penny.

 

It has been worse...

Unleaded regular hit $1.75 a gallon in March. How does that compare with U.S. gas prices during the past 85 years?
