Gas has hit $2.059/gallon here. I think the increase is silly. To raise it THAT much in such a short amount of time is assinine. Six months agao, I was paying 1.599/gallon. And I haven't gotten a raise in 18 months. I drive 45 miles a day just for work. Sure, it doesn't sound like much, and I don't drive an SUV or a truck, but the $0.45/gallon increase translates in to extra money that isn't budgeted. By the time a week is done, I've probably gone through 25 gallons of gasoline. Doesn't sound like much? That's an extra $600/yr. And that's if I don't take long trips, which I do about three times a year.
