LanguageMan1 Champion Author Tampa Posts:11,712 Points:1,659,840 Joined:Apr 2008	Message Posted: Aug 29, 2011 11:27:11 PM Ignore LanguageMan1 Report Abuse I had already figured she'd be going up because of the holiday, and most likely will a bit, then decline a bit again. We're already up here and have been trending upward at a few of the stations I post here and elsewhere, and for those not planning on traveling for the Labor Day weekend, then I suggest you fill up tonight or tomorrow morning, or tomorrow evening at the latest. Should be enough to tide you through until the weekend is gone, then fill up only halfway until prices come down.
