Instead of reporting ups/downs of retail gas prices; report the ups/downs of the profit margins of each segement of the oil service/distribution chain!

Oooh 7/10 of a cent. That means nothing to me. I agree with everyone below who said theirs went up for the weekend. No doubt. A big "travel" weekend. I am going to "travel" to the supermarket and get brats and ribs.

Every week it's the same... gas goes up on Thursday morning... it never fails. Even if the barrel goes down in price, our gas prices go up for the weekend.

Not here! It's up 8 cents a gallon from yesterday. Last chance to rip us off this summer. How predictable. They gotta get more creative with their BS reasons.

CNN must have forgotten Labor Day Weekend is one of the times that almost all stations everywhere raise their prices to gouge the consumer. And they will use any excuse such as a "possible" hurricane, and even congress passing gas in the wind after a bean dip holiday.

Gas price jumped from 2c to 6c per gal this morning, ready for the week end Holiday and panic of the Storm which may never happen.
