They were saying on the news how the gas station owners ALWAYS up the price the day after oil prices go up, but wait a few weeks to bring the price down when oil prices drop.

I think it should be looked into as a form of price gouging since they always seem to increase the price while still having thier pumps filled with the cheaper gas before getting the higher priced fuel.

It is price gouging.

3.38 here in california, with highs of around 4.57-ish

All depends how close to a city you are, and how far "off the beating path" the fuel trucks have to drive to get fuel out to some locations.

Actually went down surprisingly.  4.09 -> 3.99.  But IIRC, when oil was below $128 a barrel a few months back, we were paying 3.8x here.

Kind of hard to do since everyone that runs a gas station does it. Of course the government doesn't do anything about it since they want to get thier share of the gas taxes on it. Not to mention the extra .10 a gallon we're gonna end up paying once they pass that.
