The stations I passed this morning were just under $4. But we're in the cone of predicted landfall for Irma, so that's contributing to the price since there's so much extra demand. Costco's gas had a line that appeared to be more than an hour's wait.

It was $2.24 yesterday. I don't pay very close attention, so I'm not sure if that's up or not.

We went from around 2.19 to 2.47 then the Governor declared state of emergency so I think that puts a cap on the % it can increase. To lazy to research. I filled up last week at 2.39. Fortunately I don't do do a lot of driving, i.e. Work, hauling kids around so that will last me for a while.
Now if Irma wobbles and should get into the gulf I will head north so I'm ready.

We're at $2.59. It's not changed since Harvey so the storm coming hasn't caused a spike again. Tampa Bay Area

We were at $2.21 before and at $2.89 now. I'm betting Irma brings another spike in prices. Thank goodness my DH and I had the foresight to live close to work (~2 miles).

Ours went up about $.50 per gallon depending on where you get gas. Some a little more, some a little less.

Gas went up from 2.35/2.45 to 2.80/2.95. I'm sure it will go over $3.00 by this weekend. |

3.25 from 2.95 - although I thought it was due to the labor day travel weekend here - not due to Harvey.

It was $2.17 at Costco today for premium. They were completely out of regular, which I usually use. They are good about not jacking up the price until they have sold what they already have.
Most of the stations are at $2.59 for regular.
My students are really complaining about the cost of going to work. Remember a lot of them are low paid workers with short shifts because of school.

Last week, it was about $2.37 at the cheapest station, about $2.49 everywhere else.
Today, I filled up and it was $2.89.

I think it was $2.55 pre-harvey and $2.79 a day or so after. Just looked up my preferred station and it is $2.89, which I think it has been holding steady for a bit.
I did just look up my pre/post fill ups and on 8/19 I spent $21.67 and on 8/31 I spent $23.81. It's terrible.

gas has gone up from $2.43 to $2.76 since Harvey. How about in your area? About the same levels--in 2 steps. First to $2.65, then $2.79. Our refineries are located in Indiana, but supply and demand, blah blah blah. |
