I hope you gassed up this morning!
I sure did. On my way to work I was shocked to note that gas was still $2.59, which it has been for a week. I pulled right in and filled up, writing a check for gas for the first time in my life. $36.91. By the time I left work gas was up to $2.79 at the same pump. It's not like we weren't warned. You can thank Ms. Katrina for that increase. Are we really going to see $3.00 a gallon? Oh, please no.

I can tell you it has curtailed my driving. I've thought of planning a trip over the mountains at least three times in the last two weeks and decided against because my shopping needs weren't important enough to justify the fuel expenditure. This is definitely going to slow down economic growth. I'm certainly spending less.
