This is getting ridiculous. I am filled with so much frustration, that I could easily start spewing a bunch of choice words that wouldn’t be appropriate for younger readers. The price of gasoline around here is through the roof. Worst of all, it doesn’t seem like the price is at a legitimate level. Earlier this week, gasoline was at $2.49, which is still a lot higher then it has ever been. Suddenly, within a 2 day period, gas jumped to $3.19. 70 cents!? I know that Hurricane Katrina has had a detrimental effect on the availability of oil from the southeast, but has it really been enough to cause that much of a change in the price? Or is this just another reason for gas stations to hike the price up, especially in anticipation of the extended weekend and the likely large amount of people that will be traveling? I almost wish I had a moped…
Almost.
