prices jumped 55 cents/gal here yesterday between 4am and 5pm. i filled up the day before, anticipating this happening. lol maybe i shoulda filled up the cans. didn't have to go out today so i didn't go out, don't know how high it's climbed at this point. my state has one of the lowest gas taxes nationally so i know i'm paying less than most anyway.
i figure prices will stabilize within the week, though they'll stay higher than what they've been averaging probably for a month or three. but what can you do? i don't have a choice. when i have to travel, i have to buy gas. public transportation isn't an option - there's no kind of infrastructure like that where i'm at; it's rural with small & mid-sized towns scattered around 20 miles between them. i'll pay what i have to pay, when i have to pay it. my work is rarely any closer than 40 miles away, if i can't do it from home.
c'est la vie, but God will provide
