I. Cannot. Believe. How. Fast. The. Gas. Prices. Are. Rising.
There are two gas stations at the main intersection just west of my house. One is a Shell station and the other is an Arco station, which doesn't take credit cards, so its prices are always 4 - 10 cents cheaper than the Shell station's prices.
Last night, when I drove past the Arco station, the cheapest gas was up to $4.31 a gallon. Today, at 3:15 pm, it was at $4.34 a gallon.
Exactly one hour later, the price at the same gas station was $4.38. It's making last year's shock at a gas station in the middle of nowhere charging a dollar per gallon more than everywhere else seem like a happy dream.
When will it end?

I so agree with you. I try hard not to ponder the gas/food prices too much because those two areas are truly already the most conservative pieces of my budget. I'm not sure what more I could do to cut out frivoloities.
Several years ago, I was a bit of a joke among my friends because I would literally limit my out of town trips to two a month because of how low my gas budget was. I've doubled it now - and still rarely leave. Pretty crazy.
Too bad the cats can't work and make a financial contribution.
Bekah,
May I suggest you sell your cats for medical experiments.
I hope that helps.
I would answer, but my jaw is dropped clear to the floor. Probably in about 3-5 hours I'll have a clever and somewhat smart-mouthed response. But don't wait too eagerly - it might take even longer than that.
Bekah & Chris,
I'm staying outta this one...
