Joan, my bet is that your area is suffering the "oxygenated gas" scam that was put into place nationwide on June 1. Here's the schedule:

- gas prices go up dramatically, everywhere, for no reason whatsoever

- consumer groups start complaining

- TV starts making a lot of noise

- state Attorney General says this is terrible, big investigation, harrumph, harrumph

- big oil says it's just supply and demand, normal market fluctuations, plant conversion to the new fuel, blah blah

- hearings make the papers for like three days

- nothing comes of it

Sorry. We go through this in California every two years or so.
