2. i find

that by driving another mile down the road, away from the main intersections, I can save 8 cents a gallon on premium. Gotta shop around.
It's always been price gouging! And always will be as long as fossil fuels are our main source of power.

3. At least you have gas!

Us Zonies are in the middle of a gas crunch. If you can find gas, you can expect to pay >$2.00/gal for cheapo unleaded.

7. Over $2 anybody?

Even the el-cheapo stations here in the Bay Area are rapidly approaching $2. Probably will be by the time I leave work. The one outside my office was $1.81 when I left work yesterday and was $1.93 when I showed up this morning. And that's for regular of course.

But of course *'s energy bill will fix all this. I know because he told us so. Blech.
