Default How Close to $3 a Gallon are you?

Breaking news from the WSJ...

"MARKET ALERT
from The Wall Street Journal.

April 17, 2006

Crude-oil prices settled $1.08 higher at an all-time high of $70.40 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, lifted by concerns over declining gasoline stocks in the U.S., supply disruptions in Nigeria and tension over Iran's nuclear program."

Here in New York we're touching rough $2.75 regular...

It's gone up at least 30 cents in three weeks - it's around $2.87 in Seattle right now for regular. News stories ike this will add a dime by tomorrow probably...
There is no competition in this market (Puget Sound), with so few suppliers. Here in Washington the supplier is allowed to charge different amounts to different outlets for the same product. So the Chevron store on 3rd and Main might be paying 20 cents a gallon less than the Chevron store on 23rd and Pine for fuel off the same truck. Sounds like selective price gouging to me, they are allowed to raise their price based on "prevailing rates" or another words charge more for wholesale if the neighboring station is charging more for retail.
