I just paid $3.41, it jumped $0.30 in one day. Nice post Daniel. 
It is interesting that since the big push for renewable energy (which is subsudized on both ends) that fuel prices have not fallen below what they say they need to make bio profitable. The farmers are getting more for their grain than they ever have, which is long overdue but, they are spending way more to produce it. Lets face it, this country runs on diesel fuel so nothing has more of an effect on the economy than the price of fuel, and nothing has more of an effect on our back pockets than how much we drive. This year I plan on riding my bike to work more to offset the 20 - 30% increase in fuel prices we are expecting to see this summer so I can still drive my truck when I want to. I am not a big fan of the big oil companies or any large corporation because they easily forget who keeps them going, the less I pay them the more I get to keep to spend how I want to, not how I need to. We all make provisions in our lives for how we expend the resources we have at our disposal: our treasure, our time and our talent. Why are they charging more for fuel? Because we readily pay it. Because we are a mobile society, once thriving small towns are drying up all over this nation because we think nothing of driving 40 miles or more to the BIG store to get our groceries, hardware and our fuel. We have a consumption problem not a fuel problem and until we get a handle on that all of the high priced fuel efficient sub compact cars will not help a bit if we drive more because it cost less per mile to do it.
