I expect prices at the pump to begin edging up again


It's already happening. Several stations that I pass every day commuting to work went up 2-3 cents since yesterday morning, and I expect them to land at $2.99/gal by tomorrow afternoon, just in time for the regular weekend price hikes.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

New I'd love to be there
Where the prices edged up 2-3 cents. Here they JUMP 20-30 cents, then fall back 1-2 cents a day until the next weeks jump. I can live with incremental increases, not 10% increase.

And before you ask, the stations have gotten smart to the fact that "everyone" knew the price was going to change on Tuesday and filled up on Monday. Now you never know which day will be price jump day. Surprisingly (sacasrm) every station, all brands, jump on the same day, within hours of each other. (/sarcasm)
