I’m posting today because there is a lot of weirdness going on. Tuesday’s price hike to $1.79 has apparently not been matched by everyone, particularly along Michigan Avenue, and the Speedway there is already down to $1.69. The US Dept. of Energy reports on the “This Week in Gasoline” website that last week Midwest gas prices were on average six cents *lower* than on the East Coast. Then there was yesterday’s action in the futures markets in New York, where wholesale prices rose to a 13-year high, with oil over $38 a barrel. It doesn’t quite all add up to me right now, which means we should just keep a close eye on everything.
