I'm hoping not....

AntiRanchDrssng : There were multiple reports that gas would hit $5.00 before the midterms. Trump even warned about it. Possible it will hit $7.00 in the weeks ahead.

AntiRanchDrssng :
Supposedly the overnight hike is related to an issue with a refinery in Joliet.

I used to drive a gas guzzling truck. I used to miss it. I haven't lately.

kraziebill :
What happened with that refinery, if you know?

kraziebill : Wouldn't Joliet, Romeoville, Bollingbrook and other places near Joliet have increases too?

And that is what pisses me off. There's an issue with the refinery, but that doesn't affect the cost of gas that they already have in their underground tanks which they've already paid for. If hidden valley ranch blew up, I'm not raising the price of my salad $3 because there isn't a shortage of ranch yet.

Aaaaaannnnndddddd I paid $3.59 outside of Indianapolis yesterday. Apparently not affected (yet, or if at all) by Joliet refinery issues. And there are places in southern IN that are in the $3.20-30s.

US imports 60% of its oil from........CANADA. Only about 7% comes from Saudi Arabia and Iraq.

kraziebill : Mostly irrelevant. Global supply determines market rates.
