It's over $4 a gallon up here in Alaska. And believe me, the refineries are hurting bad. They aren't the ones making the money, its the ones pulling it out of the ground. Our site up here is $800k in the hole for the year already. Parent company is looking for a buyer for the site or they may end up shutting the refinery part down and reconfiguring as a terminal, which will mean loss of jobs for a lot of people.
On a DAK related note, I sure wish I had mine up here right now. There are some awesome off road areas up here in the Fairbanks area. Gas prices be damned, I'd be havin a good time! Helps that there is 18+ hours of daylight too!! :)

Same here. It's been holding steady for about a week now. I have a
feeling that they're trying very hard to not make the next increase,
because it'll push us over $4.
But it'll happen regardless.
