It will do that here and there, of course. I just checked the entire state, and it’s been down no more than 2 cents since my initial June post. In New Orleans specifically it has been a rough 7 cent decline, but up a cent today. Note the spike in wholesale only commenced around Mon/Tue of last week, and it takes awhile for those changes to percolate into the actual pumps. I actually may here in a bit document which states do continual price cycling, and which ones for the most part don’t, and when I note a likely upcoming increase those states and their cities are the ones you risk getting hosed by. Louisiana doesn’t, for the record. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-are-gas-prices-in-your-area/960568)._
