If inventories are up we should have cheaper gas at the pump. Simple Suppy and Demand. Gas went down here the last two days, one cent on Wed and two cents today..

petroterrorists have been jacking prices and finally reached the tipping point of actually stiffling the struggling recovery from the great recession they caused in 08, and now they're getting ready to jack prices again and blame summer blends !@!

Just mumbo jumbo news. I'm not getting my hopes up anytime soon. Gasoline prices are still way over valued regardless of how high inventory is and how much demand is down.

Crude supplies up but refineries closing? So what gives. Or just scare tactics.

All these factors should mean lower pump prices. A few in my area raised them yesterday.

Prices should drop slowly (they rarely drop quickly) and stocks will slowly drop too until they start to force prices up again.

So why do we get to see these GasBuddy blog non-news entries as part of the "top 5" for 2 days in a row? Is there a way to vote against these so-called news articles so we can't see them anymore?

"time for prices to head south"

Try again. Our gas prices just jumped $.30/gallon yesterday. We're now at $3.89/gallon.

No reason for gas prices to go up.
