$2.85-2.99, depending on where you go. I paid $2.94 this morning.
And it's obvious that I need to drag out my "inventory economics" lesson again, from some of the commentary. When futures are trading for $74+ a barrel, and the market is subject to instabilities in the region, fluctuation and high pricing is going to be the norm, y'all. This has nothing to do with price gouging. It has everything to do with end-product suppliers having to protect themselves from market changes.
