: Actually, gasoline prices aren't really skyrocketing. What's happening
: is that we've had years and years of gasoline prices not keeping up
: with inflation, and now they are making up for lost time (and then
: some).

Hmm. Try paying UK prices and you'll change your mind..! Not certain of
the exact conversion rates as our prices are in litres and I'm not sure of
the size of the US gallon, I believe it's slightly smaller than the UK
one, but average prices here are around £1.07 per *litre* at the moment,
which at current pound/dollar rates makes it around $9 per imperial
gallon.

I wish we had your prices..!!
