Gas prices steady before seasonal spike

Price at the pump static, but a switch to summer gas will change that soon.

U.S. retail gasoline prices are following oil markets by staying more or less even, but that will change mid-March with a new blend of gas, analysis finds.

Motor club AAA reports a national average retail price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline at $2.28 for Tuesday morning, a price point that's fluctuated by fractions of a percentage point for most of February.

    You mean they're switching to the kind without the water in it? The last 3 fill ups killed my engine and I had to restart it a couple of times until it mixed around in my gas tank. Thanks, Exxon.

    Things are so different now, aka the "norm" is no longer being followed and old man winter too off early to FLA - that I really don't believe a spike is forthcoming.

    AAA can yap all they want about the sky is falling with Memorial/4th of July and Labor traffic to our eastern shore; leave early; stay late; beat the heat; don't get stuck on the bridge; etc etc - that no one is listening anymore. When no one listens, then you are irrelevant.

    AAA SHUT UP!

    So what about the local ten cent a gallon hike at the pumps over the weekend? Seems some collusion at the local level, led by Royal Farms.

    With a oil glut there should be no seasonal spike. Shows how legislators & companies Effect price rather than pricing! Oil has been down for weeks but local stations have been playing footloose & fancy free w/pricing. Shameful.

    Two things:

    Take out the alcohol, which costs more to produce than the gas, and raises prices of everything associated with corn.

    Raise the federal gasoline tax by $.001 to get rid of that .9 price that we've seen at the pumps since forever ago. Use the revenue to fix our roads and bridges.
