I Watched Them Raise Gas Prices by 15 Cents!
I was out doing a radio remote at one of the many convenient stores in my area today when my daughter (she's out of school for spring break. No babysitter. She goes with me on a lot of radio events) noticed that all the store employees were putting gas in their cars. I half jokingly said that maybe they're getting ready to raise gas prices. Well, they did it. Gas went up 15 cents!!!

6. Report on a local Chicago station tonight said gas was up to $1.76
per gallon. Where? I asked myself. It is $2 a gallon here and more closer to downtown. Then they said it might go up to $1.85 this summer. What are they smoking? I asked myself.

:eyes:
