Umm…they’re nowhere near four in NJ either. Are prices generally higher in Hawaii?

Certainly not right now. Ours went from $3.79 to $3.89 from Monday to Wednesday this week. Won’t be surprised if it hits $4 next week. But of course, there is no gouging going on. :dubious:

What? If you’re payin’ almost four bucks in Northwest Ohio, then you certainly are getting gouged. It’s $2.85 a gallon as I look out my Perrysburg, Ohio office window.

Ouch, was thinking $3 while trying to type $2.79. Things are not quite that bad. Yet. 😛
