SOB's always use some BS excuse before a major driving holiday to jack it up. Went from 3.15 to 3.45 in central Indian on Tuesday. Wow just before the 4th...but it's not gouging!

Yeah right.

i'd have to think it had more to do with gouging then that much increased demand, since it didn't create a long weekend. doubt there was that much extra travel, especially considering the many fireworks cancellations.

Unfortunately the fire works went on in the town I'm in (over the lake) and all the towns that did cancel showed up.

Mayberry can't handle Raleigh crowds and our Barney Fifes learned what NY gridlock means.

Default Gas prices
Trend was straight down to about the $3.12 level up until a couple of days ago, then a $.10 - $.15 upward spike to the $3.25 level. Did a tax kick in or something here?

Same exact thing here in Jax. .14 cents overnight to the $3.25 range. Of course when one big name jumps (Racetrack), everyone else follows suit shortly thereafter.
