Gasoline has gone up 40 cents a gallon locally since Monday morning when I filled up. We’re at nearly $3.00 per gallon for regular unleaded. We will probably see gas go up above $3.00, maybe as high as $4.00 over the next week. I know that gas supplies get exhausted pretty quickly, but I suspect that this is more profiteering than actual supply and demand. Our state government appears to be content to let this happen.
