There are more costs to bring gas/fuel to market as prices continue to rise. Not saying that .40 is all that but I'm sure it's adding up. Also, one would look at a % vs fixed price between the spread. So if at $2.50 there was a .65 mark up, then .65/2.50= .26, now at $3.00 * .26 = .78 or .13 additional.
