I've been hearing a lot about $3/gallon gas. Well I took the following photo on my way to work today.
Do I hear $4? Admittedly that gas station is one of the pricier ones on my commute, but it's gone up a good 20-30 cents in the last week. So how much longer before we're at $4? Better yet, how about $5?
There's no reason to believe it's going down anytime soon and there's all kinds of pressure to take it up. I was reading in Salon last night that
apparently there are US troops in the Gulf of Guinea area trying to secure the oil from there (about 15% of total US imports go through there).
