Driving to work I though, hm, maybe I should top off the tank. Nah, I said. $2.69/gal for regular.

I just went out to take a break from typing and filled up. $2.77. Holy crap.

Edit: I've been urging my mother-in-law to retrofit her oil-heated house with more insulation for two years running. I think this will be the year...
