Gas prices rising like a mother.

Yep, we kinda knew it was coming after the latest hurricane blew through, forcing the shutdown of many, many oil rigs. Many gas stations seem to be taking advantage of the situation however and have been gouging their prices...

Here's just one example of the increase in prices..

Around here in Hampton Roads, prices have gone up 20-50 cents, and even more than that in a few cases (increases near $1.00/gallon), just in the past 24 hours, prices are nearing $3.50 in places. Luckily around my house they are still 2.70'ish.

Might be time to re-learn how to ride a bike.
