When I saw this headline my first thought  was of millions of Californians saying, "Man, I hope so! :) "

Yup! Diesel is 3.35 at the cheapest place. Not sure why prices have jumped up so much. Crude has only gone up a little.

I remember hearing to that some of the refineries go offline in the late winter/spring for maintenance which can give a bump in prices. Any price less than $3gallon is a great deal. I would bet prices would have to go to $4 or $5/gallon before we saw any drop on tourism in the the Greater Yellowstone area.

We're at $3.65,but the jump was quick from $3.19

just the middle of Feb.

Oh well at least we have gas to fill our vehicles.

 

One interesting observation. A couple years ago oil hit an

all time high about $150 a barrel,gas went into the $4.50 range.

Now that oil is around $55 a barrel why is gas in the high $3 a gal?

 

I know there are a lot of factors but it's just interesting.
