My GF just called and said it went up $.07 since she left for work this morning.
I was watching the news on the hurricane this morning before leaving for work and the analyst or whatever said to expect gas to go up like $.30 a gallon because of the disruption caused by the hurricane. Which is pretty weak if true seeing as all our gas is refined with 50 miles of Seattle.

Try running a business that requires you to drive, but doesn't allow for the cost of gas to be passed on to the customer......It really sucks

As of 3:20 am Tuesday it was still $2.749 for 87 octane here in central WI. but I'm sure we'll see $3 a gal before this weekend if it hasn't already happened.
The price of gas has made getting grass eaters to look extremely cheap right now considering I mow a little over 3 acres.

You must be talking about my Metro. Couple things you got wrong, 4-seater, some have 12" wheels, and a whopping 54hp... Of course I'm driving my Metro XFi, which only has 49hp, but gets 58mpg.

i don't drive by any gas stations going to school but my grandpa said it went up $.24 here in central oklahoma, my moms suburban has a 42 gallon tank, if it goes to $3 a gallon, that will be over $120 to fill it up, she gassed it up before it went up, and i gassed my dads truck up, but i didn't fill mine up

When is this going to stop!?!? Guess I should have traded the old car in on a Cobalt instead of a used Z28.
