I was looking for a change from Sunday to Tuesday, but didn't see one, which I was good.

Gas prices in general do not make a lot of sense. There is nearly a 10 cent difference between here and some places in Burlington and it's a few cents cheaper further south. It's only pennies on a gallon and doesn't amount to much at one time, but I think a 5 or 10 cent difference in price is a significant amount.

Even 3 or 4 cents between competing gas stations seems like a lot--and I have to agree with 3plusk, why be more in the first place? Maybe it's the supplier, the date of delivery? It goes up when a new delivery comes, but won't go down if the price changes in the meantime because $ will be lost.

I've read that gas prices have been rising out of the stratasphere like they did before because  of Wall Street (specifically Goldman Sachs) and the things it does with commodities speculating or something. I am not well versed enough in the language of investment banking to spit it back out accurately, but it made sense when I read it. However, it's really hard to know who to believe anymore.

Prices in Milton went from $2.93 yesterday AM going to work, and 2.98 coming back home the same night.  I lucked out and happened to fill up on my way to work in the morning.
