Since Monday, the stars have aligned for a price hike in the next 48 hours. Prices have dropped to $1.77 at certain places, including the Citgo in Standale, while wholesale prices have climbed, probably stoked by fears of Hurricane Ivan hitting the refineries on the Gulf Coast. Expect a new price of $1.94 or higher. A few hours after my posting, $1.99 started to appear around town. You could still get gas for $1.81 on Thursday morning at certain places. CORRECT prediction.
