Here, it starts going up toward the weekend, like clockwork. Definitely the wrong time to fill up. We saw an increase from $3.39 to $3.95 between Thursday and Friday. Most people get mad at the station-owners, but it's not their issue. I think contributing to this week's hike was OPEC's announcement that, because of dropping prices, they intend to cut supply. Even though Saudi Arabia (who supplies more international oil than all the OPEC nations combined) came out right away saying that they would NOT cut supply, because they felt oil prices were stable...there was still a reactionary price hike on the market immediately.
