I remember back in the day when riding to football practice, my pops would stop to purchase Gas. As he pumped gas he would ways remind me how the owners of the gas station would always find a way to raise the price of gas.

If there was a storm on the horizon or a war in the middle east or some sort of political issue there would b a hike in the price of gas. Well that was over twenty years ago, and the price raise tactics continue to this day. If you give them any reason to raise the price, they will.

The average price for a gallon of regular gas in the Tuscaloosa metro area was $1.93 on Monday, up about 8 cents a gallon compared with a week ago, according to AAA Alabama. The leak was detected on Sept. 9. A month ago, the average price in the Tuscaloosa metro area was $1.84. A year ago, it was $1.88. Statewide, the average price was $2 on Monday, up 6 cents compared with a week ago and 12 cents compared with a month ago. This time last year, the statewide average was $1.95
