2. In the past month,

gas here in the DC area (Northern Virginia) has gone up $.50 a gallon.

I hate these fuckers so bad ............

4. station owner near me

this afternoon told me to fill up my tank - gas is going to keep going up in little increments. oil companies are "innoculating" us slowly to accept $3+ per gallon by July

not expected to drop much later on, and then another big spike in the fall

station owner said he wouldn't be surprised by $4 and $5/gallon in the winter and if that happens - he's dumping the gas service at his station and just going to try to go by with car repairs because he won't be making much on the gas to be worth the trouble

Be sure to thank your neighborhood bush voter for this -- and if they are complaining about gas prices - smile and tell them to stop whining - they voted the idiot in (probably twice)

8. Thank geology

5. Yikes, still "cheap here" in St. Louis at only $2.69/gal.

I dread the coming summer though. You guys ready for $5-$6/gal.?

6. Compact cars flying off lots.

Dealers here in the Lake Effect Zone can't keep 'em in stock. The local Honda dealer had lots of Civics, all with SOLD signs on 'em at $19,700 apiece. 30/40 MPG and really awesome new styling.
