In early May, the average price $ per gallon in the U.S. was under $3 per gallon. Right now, with oil back at that previous level, gasoline is still hovering around $4 per gallon. Tell me that Exxon Mobile is not gouging us.
Go Broncos…Theoretically, yes that is the way it is SUPPOSED to happen but if that were the case, then why does the price at the pump go up seemingly immediately when the price of oil goes up at the end of the trading day in Saudi Arabia?
Rocker & nj2pa…national average still lists 3.89/gal. Diesel fuel has declined 60 cents a gallon here in Michigan over the past 2 weeks yet unleaded actually went up 2 cents per gallon within the past two weeks. We are at 3.88 along the West coast of Michigan. Traverse City South to Muskegon.
