The price changes aren't just happening weekly anymore; they've moved to daily. You'd think the dudes at the gas stations would get tired of changing the numbers in the middle of the night.
Let me give a rundown of the past couple of weeks at my local RaceTrac:
3/27 - $3.12/gal for regular unleaded
3/28 - $3.21/gal
For the next week, the price would drop a cent almost every day, reaching $3.15/gal on Sunday, 4/6.
4/7 - $3.25/gal for regular unleaded, $3.39 for midgrade.
This is a first for my area - typically the price differential between the grades of gas has been 10 cents. Seeing a 14 cent differential between regular & midgrade definitely makes me glad that my 2005 Alero doesn't require midgrade or premium!
And I'm so glad that my commute will probably be cut at least in half once I move to Raleigh. Savings just on gas will be like getting a raise!
