Well, I’m a bit surprised. Gas prices surged here overnight. It was $3.93 on Wednesday when I was out (though I didn’t get gas, I still had 300 MTE [Miles to Empty]), and then on Friday it was $4.25.
Why? No one seems to really know other then something nebulous to do with the Stock Market. Well, that’s just dandy isn’t it? A 32 cent price jump overnight because. Seems to me that pre-Katrina a 32 cent price jump would’ve met with disasterous outcry. Now, it’s a shake of the head.
Even with my frugal hybrid, I’m being worried about the cost of longer trips, like my upcoming trip/vacation to Hybridfest, it costs more every year to go just on gas money.
