Diesel is also lingering at $4 a gallon. Perfect timing, since my family (though fortunately not me personally) got a diesel car last spring.

My guess is: Gas used to be lets say $2.00 regular, 10% more for premium is 20 cents.
Now lets say Regular is $4.00, 10% more is .40 cents instead of the old 20.
And of course the gas companies are just plain greedy!
