I just paid $3.28 /gallon of gas
OK, right after the last gas price hike, which they claimed (with a straight face) was due to the Korean missle tests, NPR reported that this should be the summer high for gas prices.
Well, yesterday, gas prices here in Louisville went from $2.95 per gallon to $3.19 per gallon. Because my car requires the middle grade gas, I paid $3.28 this morning. WTF? I am waiting for the latest excuse. I am betting it will have something to do with the conflict between Israel and Lebanon.
With an 1,800 mile roundtrip drive to Florida planned for the end of this month, $3.19 per gallon is going to suck!
BTW, I *am* aware that gas prices in other parts of the world are much higher than in the US and that, as an American, I am perceived as a big ol' whiner. So please save those comments for someone else. Thanks.

$3.28...I'de stand in line for that price....Come to San Diego....I paid $3.48 yesterday...Even the gas at 7/11 (1/2 gas 1/2 H2O) is $3.37.... That's for the lowest octane. Which by the way in California is 87. I was in Atlanta last week and they sell 85 octane.
