Last time I got gassed, if my memory is serving me correctly, it was costing $2.19 a gallon. I still have more than half a tankful. Today my neighborhood Walmart's gas station, that being the location where last I paid $2.19 a gallon, now is costing 98 cents more.
I suspect by the time I need to fill my empty tank again, the price will be well above $3.17.
The last time the price of gas spiked I do not remember how high it went. I don't thing it got out of the three dollar range.
A couple days ago, Washington's Linda Lou told me gas in my home zone had gone over $4 a gallon.
My old Skagit Valley Washington zone is home to a couple big refineries which turn Alaskan crude into gasoline.
Apparently having refineries in the neighborhood does not make the gas cheaper.
I do not know where the nearest refinery is in relation to my current Texas location. I do know that Texas pumps a lot of crude oil out of the Texas ground. It doesn't get shipped in from Alaska on super tankers.
