What the price of Gas at your Gas station?

[stevew]

I saw similar 30+ cent jumps yesterday. I'm guessing it was cause crude had a slight rally on Tuesday. It is beyond annoying at this point.

[DeToxRox]

Filled up today at 3.98. As I left the station it was 4.19.

[MrBug708]

3.89 around here

[Rizon]

Those who are seeing jumps in prices in the last day, where do you live?

[DeToxRox]

Those who are seeing jumps in prices in the last day, where do you live?

Suburbs of Detroit.

[Marc Vaughan]

$3.69 most places around here, still dropping slowly ...

[cougarfreak]

Same rise as cougar. About two hours north of him in Ohio

[Grammaticus]

Just filled up tonight at $3.59 a gallon for regular.

[stevew]

Same rise as cougar. About two hours north of him in Ohio

I saw rises throughout Ohio and most specifically in Canton

[JeeberD]

$3.52 down here, it's been dropping a few cents a day for about a week, and on a downward trend for at least a couple weeks now...

[Lathum]

3.99 here

[Pumpy Tudors]

$3.52 down here, it's been dropping a few cents a day for about a week, and on a downward trend for at least a couple weeks now...
I drove past a place in Southlake today that had gas for about $3.50/gallon. Unfortunately, I was too dumb to stop there, and I drove all the way to the airport and had to fill up my rental car at $4.01/gallon. At least it was only about 5 gallons, but that was still painful.

[JeeberD]

Wow, I didn't think that ANYTHING was cheap in Southlake...

[Pumpy Tudors]

Wow, I didn't think that ANYTHING was cheap in Southlake...
This week was my first time in the Dallas area, but even after driving through Southlake for the last two days, I see where you're coming from. Everything looks pricey as hell around that place.

[johneh]

I've come to the realization that the law of supply and demand, doesn't really apply to oil/gasoline.

It does when they can spin it for a price increase.

"well of course gas is way up a refinery was closed"

They play that card quite often.

[Ksyrup]

Two days ago, we went from $3.65 to $3.85.

[Rizon]

Um, gas has been pretty a steady $3.73 at the station next to my work.

At some point in the last few days it's jumped to $3.85.

[Ksyrup]

We went from $3.35 to $3.69 Friday into Saturday.

[sterlingice]

We had about a 20c jump last Thursday

SI

[Scoobz0202]

We've had that probably three times in the past month to two months. $3.68 or so... slowly drops to $3.44. You think hey... I'll give it just a couple more days... BOOM $3.71.

[Rizon]

This is comical. Gas dropped from $3.85 to $3.83 sometime yesterday at the gas station next door. Today it jumped from 3.83 to 3.89.

wtf is Michelle Bachmann doing??? I thought she was going to lower gas to $2!!!!!11

Southwest of Lima. 15-20 minutes from Indiana border.

And today, one day later, it has gone up to $3.93

[cartman]

I saw $2.99 this weekend in Fort Worth.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

$3.13 around here today.

[tyketime]

I saw $3.18 in South Jersey last night.

[JeeberD]

I filled up for $2.96 just 30 minutes ago in Corinth...

[gstelmack]

Still $3.50 or so around here thanks to gas taxes, and yet they are STILL putting a toll road in (but only on the section that doesn't go through north Raleigh where the big-wigs live and their developers are working and selling...)

[JediKooter]

It's been hovering in the 3.80s for months here. Oh there will be the dip down into the 3.60s, but, that only lasts about a week or so.

[DanGarion]

Too fucking much.

[Crapshoot]

3.99 / 4.10 / 4.20 range in the Bay Area. And nah, its not too much - a gallon of gas costs what a damn Starbucks cup of coffee does. Welcome to Econ 101. :D

Meh, they'll get around to tolling it at some point. The state does such a wonderful job with the absurd amount they charge in gas taxes nowadays that it's inevitable. Case in point being that they're having to build toll roads to actually get anything of the sort done sooner rather than much much later in spite of the gas tax. I was down in the Myrtle Beach area last weekend and it's just cringe-inducing to see the difference in pricing.

[stevew]

paid 2.99 today for the first time since early spring.

[Rizon]

And today, one day later, it has gone up to $3.93

Gas trickled down from $3.93 in September 2011 to the $3.60s.

Went from $3.83 on Monday to $3.99 today.

[Matthean]

I saw it around $3.18 this week.

[korme]

bout tree fitty

[MrBug708]

3.73 in some places here. About 3.83 in most though

[JediKooter]

At the Shell station right by my place:

Wednesday - $3.89
Wednesday night - $3.91
Thursday - $3.95
Thursday night -$3.99
Friday - $4.05

[Dodgerchick]

$3.46 by my work

[BYU 14]

Ranging from $3.36 to $3.76 in Phoenix and surrounding areas.

15 stations (mostly Costco and Sam's Club) under $3.40

Average price is $3.54 and the highest by station is Shell, which is $3.69 and higher at a bunch of stations.

[JediKooter]

Why is gas jumping up in price so much recently? There's no major holiday coming up and I haven't heard of any 'supply issues'.

[molson]

There's always a jump-up around this time of year but this one is happening a little earlier than usual.

Ah, ok. It's just amazing that I'm seeing jumps of 6 to 10 cents in a 24 hour period, two days in a row. Crazy.

[Qrusher14242]

$4.09 today in Visalia,Ca. Went up from $3.99 yesterday and thats for Cash.

[sterlingice]

That's something we've mostly been spared here- no different prices for cash vs credit.

That said, because there are a pair of ever increasingly large owners of a lot of gas station in Indy, it's really not uncommon to see the 30c jump in a day now. And then everyone else copies it. Because they can.

SI

[JediKooter]

$4.09 this morning. I'm curious as to what it will be this evening when I get home.

[Buccaneer]

Still paying around $3: $3.01-$3.05 specifically. Been that way all year but will probably change soon.

True true. After all winter when shit was at historic levels, I suppose a better question would be $5 gas. Especially after the Israelis start bombing shit

[Rizon]

I thought I read something about a president not ever being reelected when there was high gas prices or something. Not much of a sample size for stats, so not sure if it was true or not.

[JediKooter]

$4.09 this morning. I'm curious as to what it will be this evening when I get home.

Well, it didn't go up last night, but, on my way to work this morning...$4.19.

[Ksyrup]

I saw something on the news 2 nights ago about expeerts predicting we'll be at $5 by summer. It's in the mid-$3.50s here right now.

[JediKooter]

If you want premium here, you're only about 20 cents or at the rate it's going, 2 days away from paying 5 a gallon.

[Ksyrup]

Yeah, the 30cent jump is the new dick move.

That's seems to have been the norm here in Lexington even before gas went way up. I'd never seen it before I moved here 6 years ago, but I'm told it's always been that way here.

[Rizon]

2/17 $3.99
At noon today $4.05

I'm not sure if it was mentioned but there was a fire at a refinery in Washington that has cut production by 1/2 that is affecting the price of gas in the US.

[Rizon]

How do you guys feel about Costco or Safeway gas? Right now it's around 40 cents cheaper per gallon here.

Costco is usually a zoo, with cars running about 10-15 deep at the pumps. Safeway just opened some pumps down the street from my house.

Gas is gas in my opinion. It's the additives that they put in it is what I'd worry about. But, I think here in California, they're pretty restricted as to what they can put in it, so, I'm sure you will be ok. I can't resist....YMMV.

Just West Coast. Plains gas still cheap. No movements here, still around $3.01.

[JediKooter]

So one refinery processes 50% of the gas on the West Coast? Someone is doing something wrong.

I saw something on the news 2 nights ago about expeerts predicting we'll be at $5 by summer. It's in the mid-$3.50s here right now.

So at least one place I saw it was down to $3.48 on the drive home yesterday, then I'm watching the news and they say gas went up to $3.75 today. So yeah, that sucks.

Yup. Looks like I didn't quite read it correctly. My bad. :)

With how fast the prices are rising here, it sure does seem like they do refine 50% of the gas that goes to the west coast. Maybe 75%

It's really going to suck for me if American prices are going up. I pay around $7 / gallon (converted to US dollar from Korean won) for diesel. That may go up to $8... ouch for my commute.

All you people posting prices from California are irrelevant, given the high taxes you pay on each gallon. Having spent part of my time in that state annually for years, I have always seen it .25-1.00/g above average or compared to other western states.

Our's just went up 0.08 today to 3.09. Good thing I filled up last week, should be good for a few more weeks.

Last I saw it, it was the same amount as the federal tax rate. I think the federal rate was 18.4 cents a gallon and that's what california's was. I don't know if that's what is is currently though.

[ColtCrazy]

A month ago, I got my wife tickets to see Lady Antebellum and Darius Rucker for her birthday (she's big into country, I tolerate it). We are taking the 2 hour trip for the weekend to go to Evansville. Of course the temp would drop 20 degrees and gas would jump 40 cents the day before we leave! $3.68 here, was $3.29 earlier this week.

I do the same type of calculations when choosing to drive vs fly. Assuming 100 miles one way and 25 mpg, the 0.40 jump will cost you an extra...$3.20. I would skip one beer at the concert. :)

Glad someone else does this as I'm currently doing it on a bigger scale. Flights to England in June seem to be in the $1300-1400 range out of Louisville, but Aer Lingus has flights out of Chicago for $1000. If I can find a way to drive to Chicago with someone, it might save me money (Chicago is about 4.5 hours for me).

I think I can handle the $3.20!

When we were living in Richmond a couple of years ago, we drove up to DC to fly out of Dulles. We got round trip flights to Bogota for $375 where it would have been at least double that from Richmond and one hotel room. Same with going up to Chicago to meet my wife a few times last year instead of her flying into Indy

[NorvTurnerOverdrive]

when iran announced it was stopping oil shipments to gb and france(when was that? last week sometime?) that same day i read a report saying saudi arabia was cutting back on oil production.

surely a tragic coincidence.

[sterlingice]

Saudi was promising to increase production to negate Iran's action earlier this year. Yeah- I know- we should trust Saudi as far as we can throw them but it made sense because they have a vested interest. Last time the cost here rose above $4 a gallon, there was a pretty substantial shift in the population's use of gasoline. There was a wave of people who went to mass transit who haven't gone back.

Even bigger was that the sales of SUVs and other high gas consumption vehicles fell into the toilet and compacts/hybrids/etc shot way up. That affects gas consumption for years to come. So what good is profits for the summer if you lock in much lower consumption for 10 years?

SI

[cartman]

And for those that believed in the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" line, US oil production is at the highest level in 8 years.

[Buccaneer]

I still don't understand the mentality of curtailing a trip just because the price of gas goes up $1 (say to $5 as they are predicting). Sure it would be nice to spend that money on something else but if, for example, you're making a trip that will cost thousands (like a ballparks tour or to Disney World), the extra $1 per gallon is not going to make that much difference.

Here's my example. This summer my son and I are doing another long road trip to the West Coast (visit family, friends and for him to go to church camp). I have to compare the cost of 3000 miles worth of gas (assuming $5) plus lodgings on the way with the cost of two plane tickets, renting a car for 2 weeks plus gas. Still cheaper (and much more fun!) to do the road trip.

[DanGarion]

$4.27 around the corner.

I always think this is a byproduct of horrible math reasoning. It's not like filling up a 12 gallon tank goes from 0 dollars to 60 bucks. At most it costs like 20 more than normal.

[Buccaneer]

stevew, you get it, despite me leaving out a key word at the beginning (fixed now).

[stevew]

I figured there was a missing "don't"

[Buccaneer]

Here's the specific example of what I calculate:
Last summer, I did a 3000 mile road trip in my car (35 mpg). Paid an average $4/g. Total cost: $343. If it was $5/g, $429. $86 difference. Not significant.

This summer, I'll be taking the Rav4 (25 mpg, I think) - 120 gallons. Total costs still less than 2 plane tickets, regardless if it's $4 or $5.

The real signifcance comes for those that drive 400-500 miles/week. I sympathize with that. I was reacting to the usual news reports about people deciding not to drive on a family vacation because it might cost an extra $100 or so.

[sterlingice]

I still don't understand the mentality of curtailing a trip just because the price of gas goes up $1 (say to $5 as they are predicting).

Still cheaper (and much more fun!) to do the road trip.

Well, exactly- you just factor it in with everything else. Even with 20mpg, which is towards the low end of what a lot of cars get these days, the gas cost difference on a 3000 mile road trip is $150 for each $1 jump. That's a pretty substantial chunk of change but not if you are thinking about the trip costs as a whole. When you're thinking about 2 weeks of tickets, hotels, etc- it's like adding another couple of nights of hotel rooms on but it's still less than 10% of overall trip cost.

I think that for weekend sort of trips (~300 miles) where there isn't much additional cost- those are the ones more impacted. When we lived in Richmond, we liked to head to Shenandoah. You had to pay $20 a year for unlimited trips to the park itself. However, if suddenly the gas cost (100 miles each way, roughly) went from $12 to $20 ($3 per gal to $5 per gal), that starts being a decent percentage gain. At that point, maybe you say "Ok, lets stay in town and hit the botanical gardens or zoo instead". You're still paying the same amount but it's going towards more local entertainment and ticket prices instead of gas.

I think the much bigger impact comes in on commute as you really cannot mitigate that cost by saying "I don't want to go in to work today because gas is high". If you live in a large city and commute 25 miles each way, that's then starting to add $2-$5 per day into your costs which, means you're talking $40-$100 per month. That's like paying an additional utility bill per month. If your margins are close, that's substantial.

SI

[Buccaneer]

We're finally catching up to most of you. 16-cents jump last week and a 20-cents jump this week, now sitting at $3.65. Analysts expect that we will not go over $4.00 due to an abundant supply of Canadian crude that Colorado has access to.

[stevew]

Crude seems to be cratering, yet we're still paying 3.59 at the cheapest stations. I dunno if this is what widespread price fixing looks like, but retail gas has never shown the "up like a rocket, down like a feather" adage more truer than now. I'd suspect we should see sub 3$ stuff within a week or two at least somewhere in the FOFC brotherhood.

[Philliesfan980]

I'm really looking forward to the days where 80-100 MPG's are the norm and the oil companies get absolutely fucked.

I agree with you Steve, there's absolutely no reason why when crude goes up by $10-15 bucks our prices go up 30% (just making up a number for an example), but when it drops by $10-15 bucks, we see a 15% reduction. Of course, they can really do whatever they want, since there's no regulation that I'm aware of. I don't think people would really make a legitimate effort to cut down their driving on a material level until gas hits $6 or so.

I'd suspect we should see sub 3$ stuff within a week or two at least somewhere in the FOFC brotherhood.

I would kill for 3.59 a gallon. 4.39 at my local station.

[Rizon]

$4.23 next door

[CU Tiger]

Just saw $2.99 gasoline....while I pumped 3.79 diesel.
despite same crude at 10% the refining....fuck demand driving prices high.

[Crapshoot]

$4.40 for 87, I believe.

[Ksyrup]

I saw mid 3.40s this morning, I think.

[JediKooter]

I think I saw 4.15 this morning.

[GrantDawg]

Buying gift cards from Kroger when I know I'm going to get something somewhere and getting X4 fuel points. I'm getting .40 to .60 a gallon off a fill up. Love me some Kroger.

[Ksyrup]

Yep. Between gift cards and prescriptions, I got $.80 off about a month ago. I think I paid $2.89 for mid grade.

[SackAttack]

3.69 down the street.

[MacroGuru]

3.88 the last time I gassed up. I think it was Tuesday.

[lerriuqs]

$1.259 a litre so about $4.77 a gallon up here...

How much do you pay for sunlight up there? :)

[Thomkal]

Y'all need to come fill up in Myrtle Beach. Apparently South Carolina has the lowest gas prices in the nation, and the lowest I saw today was $3.12.

[fantom1979]

Saw it was 3.59 at the gas station by my house yesterday.

[Grover]

Paid $3.58 on Monday

[tarcone]

3.39 in my neighborhood.
Speaking of sun light. I'm in the process of getting solar panels on my house. It will cover about 95% of electric. Free instAllation. Lease for 20 years at $468 a year. After 6 years we can buy them for a couple thousand. We are looking at about a $700 savings per year. That will cover the insane gas price hikes. 

Very interested in getting solar panels. If it's reasonable, may be doable.

We'll see what the opening of one of the biggest refineries in the world does to prices.

Nation's biggest refinery goes on line (http://www.statesman.com/news/texas/nations-biggest-refinery-goes-on-line-2385326.html)

[Ksyrup]

I actually saw $3.35 on the way home, but most were around $3.45.

[Buccaneer]

It's funny, we were among the last/slowest to go up, now we are among the slowest to go back down. Our peak, as expected, reached 3.91, now we are 3.69.

I think part of that is there is a different formulation for gas at higher altitudes. It is generally lower octane than gas elsewhere.

Clearly, prices should rise because they have to pay for building that refinery and the extra payroll expense of 300 jobs.

[JediKooter]

4.13 at the Arco.

[Desnudo]

3.26 at costco

[stevew]

Wow....just passed a station in Ohio at 3.89. Supposedly there are some Midwest refinery issues.

[Scoobz0202]

Ya, i should have filled up the other day when it was $3.30something. $3.89 here as well.

[Rizon]

Gas was hovering around $3.70s for a few months. A refinery done blew up here and now it's $4.13 and rising.

[Grover]

Paid $3.74 yesterday morning.

[Buccaneer]

Just got back from traveling the backroads around MD, PA, NJ, DE, VA and WV. I think I found gas to be cheapest in NJ (around 3.37) and all the other states around 3.50-3.60.

[Ksyrup]

$3.70ish around Lexington and just over the river from Louisville in Indiana, it's $3.85-3.90.

[Vegas Vic]

Averaging about $3.45 in Las Vegas right now.

Honestly, I don't pay much attention to the price anymore since I traded in my gas guzzling SUV for a Ford Fusion Hybrid.

[SackAttack]

Hit $3.89 the other day here. Been hovering (it went up like 35 cents in the span of a week).

[Thomkal]

back up in the low $3.30's here in Myrtle Beach

[Crapshoot]

$4.03

[sterlingice]

Has been around 3.29 (+/- 10c) in Houston for quite a while now. This week, it jumped up to 3.59 at the cheapest stations. Now it's back to 3.25 again today. Arbitrary and stupid

SI

[DanGarion]

Even though I know I've been told countless times that the West Coast and California doesn't matter, I paid $3.89 today.

[CrimsonFox]

just paid $3.71 on the highway betwixt Columbus and Cincinnati

Yeah, but I'm guessing the average woman in Finland is less than a standard deviation off of an 8. Come hang out in wal mart for a half second and enjoy the scenery here sometime. :(

[finketr]

3.93/gal this morning

[cartman]

Going to be above $8/gal today at some places in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. They are protesting their distributor, Lukoil. One of our customers was just acquired by Lukoil, so I find it interesting. In my dealings with the new folks, I don't find their treatment of their stations all that surprising.

LUKOIL Station Owners Protest Pricing With $8 Gas (http://nj1015.com/lukoil-station-owners-plan-to-protest-gas-prices/)

[Ksyrup]

$3.98 near Lexington, but $3.74 across the border in Indiana where I work.

[cougarfreak]

Jumped 52 cents in Kentucky today between the time I came home from school (about 3:45) and the time my wife came home (about 5:15). And, of course, she needed gas. Went from 3.37 to 3.89. Crock of shit.

[Glengoyne]

Yesterday the chevron next to our house went from $4.39 to $4.69.

Gotta love California.

[kingfc22]

I saw $4.89 by my work near San Jose this afternoon.

[DanGarion]

I bought gas for $4.19 on Tuesday morning, today I saw it for $4.67.

[Sun Tzu]

I filled up both cars for $3.91 yesterday...woke up this morning and the same gas station was $4.07.

Whew...

[stevew]

Don't spend that (approximately) $4 savings all in one place. :)

[Sun Tzu]

Don't spend that (approximately) $4 savings all in one place. :)

With that $4, I bought my wife a new pump for her...um...Pureology(?) Conditioner bottle.

Got gas at $2.97 on my way back to Austin from Houston today.

[Thomkal]

Yep been back below $3.00 again here in Myrtle Beach for a couple weeks now.

[stevew]

Enjoy the cheap gas until Israel fucks up shit and we pay for it at the pump.

[Grover]

Paid $3.59 last night here in sunny Saco.

[BYU 14]

Still between 3.47-3.51 in Phoenix last time I filled up. Went down to Tucson last weekend and it was 3.27-3.33 there.

[Buccaneer]

Gas here is in the $2.50-$2.60 range, having been under $3.00 for a few months now. Haven't seen prices that low in a while.

[JediKooter]

Damn. Would love to see that price. It was $3.37, at the station I use, this morning.

[Scoobz0202]

Damn. Would love to see that price. It was $3.37, at the station I use, this morning.

That's only a few cents more than it is in my area. Not often gas here in Ohio is close to California. The fuck.

[Marc Vaughan]

If it makes you feel better its 147.9p here in Islington, England ... thats per litre.

(there are 4.54609 liters per Imperial Gallon - so thats 672.36p per Gallon .. or at the current 1.58 exchange rate - $10.62 per Gallon)

[JediKooter]

[HeavyReign]

We're it 2.95/gallon here. I actually can't remember the last time we were under the national average as we have pretty high state taxes added.

[Dutch]

$3.36 here in Tampa, Fl.

[JediKooter]

Damn. Would love to see that price. It was $3.37, at the station I use, this morning.

And now it's up to $3.75. WTF????

They are probably using the explosion at the Mexican refinery as an excuse this time.

Up 50 cents in ND over the course of 14 days, from $2.999 to $3.499. Grumble grumble.

3.15 to 3.45 in last 7 days west of Phoenix

[JediKooter]

That would not surprise me in the least. Or they are shutting a couple of refineries down for their scheduled annual bathroom cleanup.

[MacroGuru]

$3.85 here the other day when I gassed up

[finketr]

3.99 out ehre.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Time to dig this thread up again. $3.89 here in KC. I can only imagine what it is elsewhere.

[cartman]

$3.19 this morning in Austin. And only $3.39 for diesel, which is the lowest I've seen it in a while. It is less than premium gas.

[finketr]

$3.89-3.95ish here.

fuck PRK

[Fidatelo]

I think I paid 1.38 a litre last night, so that's... what... >$6.00/gallon?

[DanGarion]

$3.95 today in Orange,CA

[CU Tiger]

2.83 in rock Hill sc

[Vince, Pt. II]

$3.94 in San Jose, CA.

[SackAttack]

$3.30 in Green Bay. Apparently a discount station opened up across the street from a Shell. That shell was able to react right away, while the others in town took a few days to be able to lower the price enough to get in sync, thanks to the way Wisconsin law is written.

It went from $3.47/gal to $3.30 in, like, a week.

[fantom1979]

$3.39 right now at my favorite gas station. Sams Club in Utica has it at 3.15.

[General Mike]

$3.09. Don't even have to get out of my car.

[fantom1979]

The fact that I have to get out of my car to pump my own overpriced gas is probably Obama's fault.

[Terps]

$3.10 on Saturday afternoon.

Paid 2.79 at Kroger on Friday (2.89-10c grocery discount)

[QuikSand]

Driving out of Washington DC a couple weeks ago, I noticed something - took a cameraphone pic but it wasnt very clear. Two stations, right across the street from one another... we've all seen it, how they have differing prices maybe due to accessibility, brand recognition, etc. I'm not sure what I would set as the maximum price difference there... but...

50 cents difference? Really?

Giving it a little thought, I think there are sociological reasons at work at that location - but the main thing is probably that it was a semi-divided highway where "turning around and getting back" would be pretty impractical...so the eastbound side I was on (expensive) was physically close to the westbound side, but not really all that close for easy selection by the average driver. Still... fifty cents? Seriously?

[QuikSand]

3.29 at the Tom Thumb in Key largo last night.

[McLovin]

3.29 Boynton Beach, FL

[flere-imsaho]

Generally $3.55 in Portland, Maine, these days.

Also, just paid $3.23/gallon for home heating oil (100 gallons). I have not enjoyed the switch from the Natural Gas we had in IL to the Oil furnace we now have in ME (road we're on doesn't have a Natural Gas line).

[finketr]

[Grover]

$3.17

I'm feeling fleeced.

[PilotMan]

$3.09 2 days ago, but I had $.80/gallon off from Kroger so it was only $2.29. Less than $40 to fill my minivan for the first time in an incredibly long time.

[Terps]

Paid 2.87 across the bridge in New Jersey, it's 3.17 in Easton.

$2.16 at QT down the street from my work.

[GoldenEagle]

I filled up my truck for $2.15 last night.

I wonder it will go below $2.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

$2.23 on the north side of KC. Seems to drop a penny or two every day. There's people filling their gas tank for free when they combine the deals that the local grocery stores offer on gas discounts if you purchase certain products.

[stevew]

The stations here were quick to go below 3 but have still been hovering between 2.80 and 3 lately. I guess someone is in the mood to take profits right now.
