Those prices are consistent with Southern California, though I've seen
premium for as high as $2.19. Last week when gasoline futures went up
$.50/gallon for the summer they said that price increases would start in the
Midwest and spiral outward. I'm afraid you're right though. I've also
heard $4.00/gallon by Labor Day. If people don't stop their ever increasing
thirst for gas the companies will just keep raising prices. If you were a
business wouldn't you sell your product(s) for as much as your consumers
were willing to pay? Capitalism at its finest! Unfortunately this hurts
the low to middle income families the most......oh well, that's another
issue.

Subject: DML: Southeastern Indiana gas pricing!
Hello! The following is gas prices for Southeastern
Indiana.
87 octane: $1.819 to $1.979
89 - 90 octane: $1.929 to $1.999
92 octane: $2.04 to $2.119
I talked to a friend of mine last night who is a
manager at a BP station and he said that gas prices in
my area will be up another 35 cents by this coming
thursday. He said it is all about money now and what
people are willing to pay. It has nothing to do with
supply. He went to a BP seminar last month and was
told that prices should top $4.00 a gallon by Labor
day. If we were to cut back on our driving habits and
forget about those long distant vacations this summer;
I wonder what would happen if the places that rely on
tourism for their economy would do if it suddenly
dried up. Just a thought!
