Gas prices are creeping up on us here in northeastern KY. Jumped to $2.89. Newsman said to expect higher prices throughout the summer. Several factors involved for the increase.
-
They always get higher in the summer.
-
Yes, they do. Here in Atlanta gas prices have just to 2.69 and in some places higher
-
Gas ranges from $2.69 to $2.79 in my area. I hope it levels out here pretty soon.

Lower prices at the pump during wintertime are the norm because people need to stay warm.
Summertime is tourist season. States and oil companies try to make it profitable for them...so
gas prices go up.

What does staying warm have to do with anything? Gas prices are higher in the summer because demand is higher. People travel and are going on vacation.

Here in California, it is $4.18 per gallon. California always have high prices in the nation!

It always goes up in the summer and also holidays at all times when people will be traveling. Anytime they can make more profit they are going to do it. Hubby used to work at a service station and every day the boss would go around town checking the other stations for the prices then run back and change the price on the board outside to just a penny under. Hubby used to get ticked about it. But he was working there as they would let him off at any given time to help with my son who was under going treatment for cancer. He and I would drive he 450 mile trip one way and stay with him for a few days then we would drive home and then I would go with my daughter-in-law and he would baby sit the grandson. It was rough on all. Alas 6 months into it and we lost him. Thank God his boss was so understanding.

Sorta wish it stayed in the winter prices when its low sadly summer always go overboard on prices.
-
Gas prices are up everywhere. I just saw the post about California being over $4 a gallon. I can't imagine prices that high. We complain about $2.70's. It could be worse.

Two dollars and sixty nine cents in Colorado. Highest it has been in years. I get a ten cent per gallon discount for points earned shopping at Kroger grocery market which helps out quite a bit. I feel bad for all the people that drive for a living: Uber/Lyft drivers and paper delivery people come to mind. I get to work from home two days a week which takes a bite out of my costly gas consumption. I drive about twenty three miles, round trip, a day in a gas guzzler (twelve to fifteen miles to the gallon). Higher gas costs affect just about everything that needs to be delivered: groceries, raw materials, online shopping to name a few. Airlines are affected as well. Gas heating for houses is yet another cost that goes up. I am glad that I am in an area blessed with moderate temperatures.

we are over 3.00 in illinois
-
The gas prices had started to rise where I live, but they when down a little a few weeks ago. The cheapest has been 2.68. I heard the prices may go up again.
-
I heard it might go up to over 4 dollars— I really hope it doesn’t but ...
-
I think they hike prices on purpose during the summer.
-
Yep, have to deal with it.
-
They are going up down south also. I hate that because we have two long trips we plan to take by car. One is in a couple of weeks and the other is in June. I sure hope gas does not go much higher.
-
Yikes my friends in california say it's getting really bad in the $4s again. Thankfully I don't drive too much but I feel for those who do.
-
Yea they get higher in the summer to gouge people who go on car driven vacations what they seem to forget the poor person who is trying to make it to work on say minimum wage.
-
Yes, gas in California is $3.89 at the minimum. What they told us that the extra taxes on the gas is to go into fixing our roads. Want to make a bet our roads aren't fixed? I hit a pot hole everyday.
-
Here in Augusta some places are lower, like 2.47 a gallon no higher than 2.57. That's for Regular gas.
-
In Virginia, the gas is $2.63. Some areas $2.57. This is not fair, it's going to take more money to fill up. :(
-
yes, increasing here too as they usually do as we approach summer....:/
-
The gas prices rise as with everything else. In Va, I think most gas stations are like McDonalds, a single person owns part of an enterprise. I don't know how they regulate prices, but here in VA, my younger brother lives in Arlington and when he comes to visit in Woodbridge, he will gas up hear which is a dollar cheaper than where he is and I am talking not just about you know, Wawa to Exxon. I'm talking about and Exxon to Exxon. So even towns within the same state have different prices. Honestly, someone should regulate that better because it's hard enough to find a decent price for gas per gallon from one company that even if you find that one company, in another town within the same state it's a different price, that may even be higher.

prices in southern mass are going up. they are around 2.89
prices at the pump usually go up as we get closer to Memorial day.
i do hope they level off soon. :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

I just paid $2.98 yesterday in southeast PA (Near Philly) and I am not happy!!!
Gas prices always do seem to rise during the summer months but I would of sworn I just heard within the last month they may be dropping soon??!! (Perhaps it was a 1 week thing?!!)
But either way, I look at it as a write off for my business. But still the higher prices during the summer months KILL me because I own a landscape company. I would prefer lower gas prices than more write offs !!!
-
It is $4.39 here help
-
They are 2.69 here in SW FL but a week ago they were 2.79! I know they will go up this summer. It is when everyone takes vacation! :P
-
tell them to stop taxing us
-
Summer-blend gas is more expensive, so the price always goes up in the summer.
-

No, they go higher because your vehicle requires a different blend of gasoline during the summer which is more expensive.

Keeps on getting higher & higher every year! It not only gas going up in price. Alot of products are going up; cat food's gone up a month ago, veggie mayo $1 to $4.50 a month ago! I finally find affordable healthy products & then out of the blue they shoot up the price from no where! Gas prices have gone up to $2.66. Who do we to blame for this? The president I didn't vote for! You get what voted for, I guess!
