Huntsville AL:

$2.85 last week
$2.99 this week

I suspect the price hike radiates from the refineries.

I thought about filling up last Thursday but decided I couldn't be bothered, and since I drive a hybrid, it's almost always optional. Thursday, gas was around $2.86. Unfortunately, I don't have ESP, and by my Monday evening fillup, I felt lucky to get $3.06 and I saw prices as high as $3.35 for regular over the course of the day, with most prices at $3.15.
