A few years back they cut the price in half when they found that there was a big cigarette smuggling rings and they weren't getting their tax money!! But the prices go up alot without warning and they are probably heading for the same problems.

The national minimum wage is $5.15, some states make it higher and here at least very few places pay the minimum.

The southeast states were hit hard by the closure of the pipe line following the hurricanes and suddenly had to start paying exorbitant gas prices. I used to feel very smug at sometimes paying half what my mother in the northeast was paying. Those days are gone, sometimes she pays less than I do.

BTW gas prices are set by level of demand which is why gas is usually cheaper on Wednesdays. During peak travel seasons it's higher on Friday and Monday.
