Gasoline price update for Boulder, Colorado

I wrote in my column yesterday that gasoline prices were stable here in Boulder, Colorado except for one station rising by a penny on Thursday, but boy did I speak too soon.  Walking home last night, one station that had been stable for a week jumped by four cents.  The station that had risen by a penny jumped another seven cents, and another station that had been stable for a week jumped by eight cents.  I don't recall ever seeing such a sharp spike, especially since crude prices hadn't risen that much.

Maybe the retailers figured this was their last big shot to capture some extra profits before the Summer vacation driving season winds down.
