This is where I've noticed the recent rise as well. I've been working from home for the past 9 months and drive into the office once a week, so we haven't been hurting as far as our gas bill is concerned. I have noticed that it used to cost $200 to fill up my cart and it now costs $250+.

I am considering taking the train to work instead of driving. It will be more inconvenient and really won't save me any money, but our cars are both older and we'd like to get a couple more years out of them if possible.
