I work nights and yesterday (Wednesday) it was $2.54 for 85 octane (regular), when my wife filled up at 4PM it was $2.68 and when I went to work at 11PM it was $2.89. $0.35 increase in 1 day! This is insane! And of course this is all happening when we have 4 road-trips that we're obligated to... and in a car that gets around 17mpg...
I know this sounds stupid, but I will never forget the last time I filled up for less than $1/gal... It was November 17, 2002 in Cheyenne, WY and I paid $0.98/gal. I can't remember my Mother's birthday but I can remember that date!

On the way into work I notice one of the places I pass was now at $2.99. They are not the least expensive place I usually check, but I am sure it will be going even higher this week.

Katrina
Doesn't this all have to do with Katrina? I heard that two oil refineries were put out of order. They all have said we should be more independent with this oil. My niece in Georgia called on her way home from work, said all the gas stations had long lines. Everyone worried they are going to start rationing gas. People are going to start to panic. They have suggested that the whole country boycott the stations for one day and see what the results would be. Having something control our lives like this is truly unfair. Seems whenever something is necessary they use that to their advantage. This all stems from greed. ARen't some people considerting using corn or soy bean oil? So much other things on people's mind already and then to cause more problems? My son rides his bike 26 miles to work one way. Hope someone doesn't find cause to resent it. Life is always presenting problems. Too much for us to handle alone. We all have to try to do our best.

sinistr...where in Canada are you?
Hey sinistr, welcome to the boards, good to see another Canadian.
Gas is up to $1.15/liter here, $4.27 a US gallon. YIKES! The stations were lined up for hours yesterday as we got word it was going up.
A family member in the petroleum industry tells me that 40% of our gas dollar goes to the federal government. MORE if you fill up at the PetroCan stations. Sheesh!

I walk. But I do desperately need a new pair of runners, which will set me back a bit, but I'm a sales hound so probably not too much.

I applaud you for walking. 
I walk to the store and post office. But work is 13 miles away and I would look pretty funny walking down the highway in my Forest Service uniform and boots carrying my lunchbox.

We are out in the country, so we can't walk where we need to go. Yesterday our gas was up to $2.49 and today it was $2.99.
