Gas prices have been sitting pretty stable at about $2.35 give/take $.05 for weeks- if not months. Then about 2 weeks ago, POOF- up 7 cents- then another nickel a few days later, and on and on. Yesterday nearly a dime up. So today the neighborhood station- that usually has about the lowest price around is at $2.60/gal. And the Newspaper headline screams, "AAA Says Buy Eclipse Gas NOW". Coincidence? I think not. We're about 100 miles from the 'path of totality, and about the last good size town for those headed that way. The question will be if the price drops, and how much and how fast after the event and the hundreds of thousands of shadow chasers go back home.
