That was on Thursday.   In Roseburg, Oregon ( 70 miles south) the lowest
price was $1.409 on Thursday as well but Friday morning before opening the
price was upped to $1.499!  It seems the sky is the limit.  I have no problem
with taxing conspicuous consumers i.e. Expeditions, Excursions and their ilk
but do have a problem with simply lining the pockets of the corporate fat
cats running the oil industry.
