$2.83, $2.99, then $3.289 - all in the same day!

I asked my wife to top off the tank on the way home from her work and she reported the local gas station still had plenty of fuel, but that they posted two big price jumps in one 4-hour period. Supposedly the DC area has enough fuel for another week before seeing the shortages being reported in other regions.

Let us not be surprised when their profits show up at 700-100% for this quarter. But of course their is NO price fixing or gouging!

Most of the gas stations were closed in Kissimmee. My husband had a hard time finding one open with gas on his way home from work tonight. I lucked out earlier in the day, but during the evening the price went up to $3.00! and I paid $2.76 during the day.
