There's usually a seasonal increase at our gas station. It starts going up in the spring and then levels off and stays unchanged through the summer.

They broke the pattern this year. The price did go up to 3.00 $ a gallon but then started dropping again.

Two weeks ago ... price drop to 2.90 $ a gallon.

This week ... another ten cent drop to 2.80 $ per gallon.

With the way things are going these days, Time to bump this thread.

Gallon of gas in Thornton Il, $5.25/gallon

Shred at .1175/lb or 235/ton

I don't know much about steel but i do work at a gas station. Regular gas jumped twenty cents to $ 4.60 last week. It took a ten cent jump to 4.70 yesterday morning.

The pattern every year is that we get a series of price increases on the lead up to Memorial day. Gas prices level off for the summer. They drop a little in the fall and then stay level for the winter.

We're expecting gas to hit $ 5.00 / gal. by Memorial day.

Lets hope that gas prices hit their peak soon. This is causing a lot of hardship for working folks.
