I agree that the gas prices are a mess. I don't think folks would be talking about it as much if the prices were consistent. Last night, I filled up at a Sheetz (independent dealer) and paid $3.999 a gallon and the Exxon across the street was at $4.299 for premium. I remember in the 1970's "energy crisis" where my social studies teacher said it takes like 6 months for the oil get to the states from the middle east. Yet, the local gas station increases there prices right away based on the current price of a barrel of oil. YMMV David L.
