U.S. pump prices and projections

[VaughanJB]

Part of the reason Spirit Airlines has shut down is because of high fuel prices. As a result, some 17,000 employees and contractors are now out of work and will soon be collecting unemployment benefits, which will cost taxpayers millions.

This is becoming a huge issue in the UK and across Europe. Flights are beginning to get cancelled. Lufthansa have cancelled 20,000 short haul flights planned for the summer, for example. It's going to get tougher, and more expensive, to find the sun, it seems.

$4.15 at my local gas station this weekend, the only gas in town. I can sometimes beat that gas station out of town by a dime or so.

$4.60 a gallon this week at what is normally one of the lowest prices in the area.

Can't remember which recent day but I made a trip to the larger town to shop. $4.99 for 87 octane ... $5.77 for 93 octane.
I felt like calling the police and telling them there was a mass public molestation currently in progress...
