I think its because of the holidays. Seems they always start going up, then creap back down after.

I have been tracking our gas use for just over a year now.
I write down the date, the vehicle, the dollar amount, and the dollar amount of gas per gallon.
Our last fill up was at $ 2.86 a gallon.
That's the cheapest gas I can find.--------My signature--------

My usual station is 2.49 now and it seems it has been for awhile, but I haven't been paying much attention, since I only have to put gas in the car about every three weeks.
I have mixed feelings on the whole gas issue. I love cheap gas, of course, but when it's cheap, the state economy is slammed and I work for the state. So I guess it's a glass half full either way. Either my gas is cheap, or the state prospers and there might, just might, be a hope of a raise. (None in the foreseeable future for now, however.)Donna

Why not? China's oil imports in Nov were up 28%, that's pretty significant surge in demand. Originally Posted by NikoSan999

Crude oil went down I think it was Thursday but natural gas went up.They said it went up because the cold weather used up alot of the stores.Ya right just an excuse to raise it because it had got cheaper.

Just another reason to plan ahead all our vehicle trips!! That can't trick us - we are so on top of things!!
