They used the "summer switch over" for the reason for the hike in March to get us used to $3.80 a gallon. Today, the reason is refinery shutdown with reduced supply and the high demand for summer travel. Most haven't even been out of school for a few day so I doubt the high demand is here yet. Buy a hybrid - 44 mpg makes it a little better.
