Default Gas Price Increase, 40 cents per gallon next two weeks?

In a free market, that means the price will go up until overall
profits are suppressed by a decrease in demand. So far, regardless of
the price, we have
demonstrated that we will continue to demand as much as the refiners
choose to supply. With the passage of winter, there is less need to
keep prices down and avoid the political drama of "freezing granny out
of her house and home", and it's back to sock-it-to-us time for
discretionary uses like boating and vacation driving.

Chuck, it's going to hurt when we take our trailer vacation this summer and
it'll be more expensive for our summer boating, but it's my daily 110 mile
round trip commute to/from my paycheck that's going to hurt the most, not to
mention the increased cost of goods secondary to the once again increasing
gas prices.
