You live in the great state of Arnold. The refineries are gearing up from fuel to heating oil. (they go where the money is) They rise the price of fuel to make people slow down on buying diesel / gas so they can refine more into heating oil grade. They've been doing this for decades.
After living in Calif for almost 40 years, I retired and got out. The progressive democrats can have it.

Same thing here in mass, diesel from 2.85 now 3.15-3.25. Heating oil up from 2.64 to 2.90 give or take a couple pennies.

Check out www.mapquest.com, click on fuel prices and search diesel. The price range throughout the country is amazing. I use this before each long range trip to see where and what it could cost. The diesel prices in my area, Tenn farm area, just jumped up to 2.85 a gallon yesterday. Shame I couldn't buy farm diesel for my truck, it's cheaper.

Only a few weeks ago,it was reported that oil reserves are at 1984 levels which was off the charts. They do it because they can. Bring on the 275-80-17's for fuel economy.

He is complaining about paying $3.35 a gallon?!?!? I'd love to only have to pay $3.35 a gallon.

Part of this is anticipation of winter heating fuel demand. Part of it is the price of petroleum which has gone up a bit, despite the lower demand.
Ever wondered how fuel can cost so much of what you get paid for work, despite the economy causing demand to slip?
Maybe a bit political, but I think its informative:
I think the recent rise in petroleum price may have a little to do with fears of the dollar losing value. It loses value when more dollars are in circulation and when national debt goes high. Look at the price on gold if you doubt me. 300$ back in '00, now 1366$ the other day. Sure, some of that is speculation. Some is legitimate value against the dollar. You dont generally invest like that unless you fear currency devaluation. The federal reserve is gearing up to print more money also.. which devalues what is in circulation. The federal reserve isnt federal at all, it is a private bank. It is not a part of the govt. or under the direct control of congress. Much of what it does is done in secret.
