Comment on the June 18 prediction:  Prices rose to $4.15 last Thursday, as predicted.  CORRECT.

Thursday, June 26, 2008, 3:15 PM:  Because it seems like retailers’ margins are tight, or there is some sort of Chicago Summer Discount going on that isn’t reflected in the AXXIS prices, I’ve been trying to keep my tank close to full, at least when I can get gas for less than $4.09.  Prices have not been hiked, though, in a week.  But today’s ugliness in New York — oil and gasoline up, up, up, while the stock market is down, down, down — strongly suggests a hike tomorrow, probably to a new record price.  Patrick posted this first, and I think he is right.
