:wtf:

I just read this story http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/12/news/economy/gas_prices/index.htm?cnn=yes
which says that gas has jumped "as much as 20 cents at some stations" and it claims that gas is above $4 only in Alaska and Hawaii.

Uhh... I'm clearly not in Alaska or Hawaii, plus it's up way more than "up to 20 cents". What the fuck is going on??

2. Michigan: $3.75 yesterday, $5.00 today. Everyone's panicing. "Rationing by Monday"

nationwide is the rumor here. Long gas lines everywhere.
Edit: Lansing, Mi.

4. I Spoke to a Co-worker in Owensboro who told me

that gas had gone up $1 overnight...I am in Lexington and haven't seen the prices here yet but SE Ky is not the only area...Owensboro is in Western KY along the Ohio. The state regulators were investigating a $0.30 rise in prices this week in the Louisville and Lexington area for gouging...wonder if a $1.00 rise will get their attention.

6. I've got a post up about this myself - up 72 cents here overnight

in my town (Illinois), from $3.53 to $4.25. And I hear down south of us its well over $5 a gallon now.

I called our Attorney General and the Governor - they did nothing, promised to do nothing.
