#1 ...Gas prices blew out the roof here in SC over the last few days - 30 to 35 cents a gallon since the weekend. Hopefully that's gonna change.

#2 This all is a good reminder that a significate part of our gas useage is discretionary. Most of us can take a few less trips, ride poll and such to save money when gas costs are up. As consumers, we can all do ourselves a favor by staying away from the pump as much as we can, for awhile. Maybe we can break a few of those bastards we ran the price up so high on us. Maybe, we can continue looking at and developing alternatives. But then maybe we'll just clim back on the same old roller coaster.

#3 I bought a car that gets 40 MPG Hwy. Started planning and consolidating all my trips/errands, work from home or a closer facility (Network Admin) when I can. Cut my fuel consumption 70%, and I know several other colleagues that have done the same. Americans can adapt when they have too.

#4 Mike, gas prices have risen recently in Virginia, too (and I suspect the rest of the states).

A spokesguy for a Va. gasoline dealers association said it was due to the Israel-Hamas war. He didn't explain why a war between two countries (actually, a country and a bunch of idiots) that produce no oil would affect oil/gas prices. And of course the "reporter" interviewing him didn't ask.
