I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Things aren’t looking up at the pump.
The cheapest gas is in New Albany ($2.99/regular). After that, everything jumps up at least 10 cents.
Regular is $3.09 in Sherman and Iuka and $3.10 for members at Sam’s Club. It’s $3.12 in Starkville, and Kroger in Tupelo has it for $3.13 without any discounts.
And we have a tie this week for the most expensive gas: Amory and Oxford both have regular priced at $3.15 per gallon. Ouch.
I guess technically, things in fact, ARE looking UP at the pump …
Will our gas ever go down?
Sure - after it goes up some more.
But the days of even $2 gas is over. I don’t imagine getting below $2.85-2.90 from now on, unless we discover some unknown oil reserve and/or we start building new refineries.
And it would help to look at alternative fuels.
But that, too, means changing public attitudes and opinions. If we have to pay $4 or more for gas, maybe we’ll start rebelling. We thought $3 gas would do it, but it didn’t happen.
Crude closed at new high of $108.75 today.
Ick ick ick.
Did you see the paper today? Regular is going for $5.29/gallon in Gorda, Calif.
