I filled up yesterday at $2.87. Same place today $3.29. What the hell happened?

not getting any relief here in the upper part of SC. IF I drive about 30 mins down the road I can find diesel about 35 cents/gal less, but gas remains consistently in the upper $2..ie $2.79 and up. I know the politicians keep telling us prices are at a low, but hasn't hit here yet. We are about to take late vacation in mid August..running from SC down to Fla Keys - RV diesel. I full expect to pay between $3.55 - $3.85/gal which is no change from last year. I've also been prepared for market spikes in light of middle east..but haven't seen that either.

I thought I saw a price increase from the time we left Mt P (on 20) until we hit Midland, there was a $.40/gal increase, but that's not that unusual around here.

Our Chevron went from $2.99 to $3.09 the other day. I didn't look this morning on my way to the shop. The stop n rob was $2.73, I don't stop there, so I don't get robbed. ;)

Needles, CA on the I-40 was $4.99 a couple weeks ago when I was forced to cross the River into enemy territory... ;)

It was always cheaper there. I'm paying 3.20 something in NW MT. When I go to WA it's usually 40-50 cents a gallon more there

Honestly it's most likely just a correction to the norm. I drive through his area a lot for work and that $2.87 is an anomoly. I did the see the same price at a station down there 2 weeks ago but everyone else was $3.29-3.39. Gas has been creeping up in fact even though I have apps for just about every gas station in Michigan and some for chains we don't even have any of I still averaged $3.09 at the pump for June, the first time I've averaged $3.00+ this year.
