It is! I did not check Wall Mart today. The ones I saw today were $1.85 yet. Below are yesterdays Feb. Futures prices. January delivery is lower. They do not justify price increases.

In central ohio the round - a- bout average I'm seeing here today is $1.70. Though, I haven't looked in about 8 hours so it has more than likely changed! Who knows from one moment to the next with gas prices the past couple of years!
It seems to be pretty dramatic from one station to the next. 1.67 - 1.92

That's a lot per gallon Patch. The lowest around here is $1.44 and most places are still at $1.61
Slainte
We are usually the highest in the area. It has been jokingly related that it is a privilege to live here and that is the price we must pay to do so.. The company that started the 30 cent plus increase used to sell Hugo Chavez's gasoline for what it is worth.
From what I saw yesterday, it ranges from 1.56 to 1.69. The "big" retailer in the area is trying to get the price back up, but the cheap guy is hanging in there for now.
It's $1.45 a gallon here in the West, It has been a while since $20 would fill my tank.
