Bear-
I am at that website right now and I see (3) basic categorys for US gas prices.
They are:Retail Average Regular Gasoline Prices.......350.8
Retail Conventional Regular Gasoline Prices..346.7
Retail Reformulated Regular Gasoline Prices..359.5
I am assuming and betting on "Retail Average Regular Gasoline Prices. Is that right?? My numbers are from the 4/21 report. Cool question and thanks for asking it.

From the same site, I'm intending to use the price for "gasoline all grades' which was 3.557 on the latest report...I posed the question this time before last week's numbers were released and underestimated the prices greatly...data is released on Wednesdays and I should either wait until then or extend the range of selections

so hit the $3.50+ wager
