Do we have a thread from that "wbtnumbernumbernumber" guy mentioning how we need to reapply the gas pump stickers he said we needed to remove when gas dropped a few cents?

About month ago a gallon of regular was $2.69. Now I'm seeing $3.15 all over the place. What happened?

I'd say perception/reality of a shrinking economy has had some negative impact on demand. To some degree it's discretionary spending. Inflation on other non discretionary items like food , power , clothing also leaves less for discretionary gas spending. As someone also mentioned, gasoline supply has also recovered some after the big freeze event .

Diesel on the other hand hasn't moved nearly as much because of steadier demand.
