Gas prices moving up

Gas prices bottomed out here about 2 months ago at about a buck and a half a gallon.

Since then they have steadily crept up and now average about $1.89.9.

The good times are over

Gas prices are up about 30 cents a gallon over the past two weeks.

Most of it came last night when they all spiked by about 20 cents.

We're back over $2 bucks again.

Good thing too.

We've had this conversation before but I am still amazed by your uncharacteristic concern for the poor. Did you forget that they are only poor because they are lazy and make poor life choices?

Today it's at $2.72.

Down four cents since I filled up!

That means I have lost 53.6 cents!

I'm really taking a beating in this market. :(
