Mostly bad timing, I think.............BUT there is probably some profiteering going on......

Most refineries are switching over to heating oil right now........AND since we're at CAPACITY at pretty much ALL refineries, we suffer a mini "gas" shortage.

I suspect in the next 4-6 weeks gas will be down around $2.00. This is dependent on a lot of things......No major supply shortages in OIL. OPEC NOT capping deliverables, etc, etc.

I think ANYTHING over $2.00 in 4-6 weeks if everthing else stays the same is profiteering......

AND remember this...........most gas stations operators ONLY make 5-20 cents per gallon.

AND a lot of states suspended gasoline tax, they MAY bring the taxes back or add additional taxes to shore up road revenues.........

Lots of stuff in play here...........I'm just GLAD it is around 2.75, cause I can go fishing 2-3 MORE trips this next year.

Later,
