Ethanol mixing is the reason for this. Valero (biggest refiner in North America) had to cut production, nearly to a standstill because they cannot source enough ethanol to blend per congressional mandate into normal gas. Talk to your representative.
Refiners have oil, just not enough ethanol to produce the legally required product. We did this to ourselves.

The President of Iran stated that we are paying more than what the oil is worth, with them being the 4th largest supplier I wonder if he may be telling the truth. He also in a round about way threatned to cut off the shipping channel if the U.S decides to take any actions against Iran. Also the President of Venezuala said that if the U.S. tries to overthrow him (which has been a rumor) that he will blow up there oil fields. So I think we may need to be prepared for 4-5 $$ for 87 octane before to long, France and England are already paying that much. This is what happens when we decide to try and control the planet and not take care of ourselves and be resourceful.

Maybe Bush's legacy will be that he was the president that nixed our habit for foreign oil? I'm all for it even if it does mean we pay a little more at the pump. Having these whacked out countries controlling our lifestyles isn't something I'm fond of.

I get better range on the Vette and still pay less for a tank of Premium 93 than my Truck with 87.
