[QUOTE="donna723, post: 193918, member: 1883"] Ours went up 20 cents yesterday from $3.59 to $3.79 - I haven't been out yet today to see if it went up again. I think they're jumping on the opportunity. It's just their way of saying, "Gotcha!". The prices go up just on [I]rumors[/I] of something that [I]might[/I] happen, then everybody rushes to fill up before they go even higher - then that causes shortages - it's a self-fulfilling prophecy! I've heard too of some gas stations on the evacuation routes jacking up the prices so that folks trying to get away from the storm are forced to pay their astronomical prices! I hope lightning strikes them all! [/QUOTE]
