Gas went up SIXTY (60) cents in one day yesterday. I went to bed Tuesday night with gas at $2.42, the lowest that it had been for awhile. I still had a half a tank so I didn't even think about it. Next morning gas was $2.69. Well, I figured it couldn't go any higher, it already increased thirty cents since the night before so I decided to just get gas on my way home. On my way home gas was $2.99. SHIT thirty more cents in the same day?! I called Gimlet and told him. He was just as shocked as me.
What is in store for the next few days? Gas reaching $4 and $5? According to St. Louis Gas Prices.com, the most expensive gas in the area is $3.39 in Madison, IL. The cheapest, is $2.69 on broadway downtown. And to think, when I got my car three and a half years ago we had some of the lowest gas in recent history. I think there might have been a couple times that I got gas for UNDER $1!*sigh*

gas prices sucks ... i remember when I first started driving it cost me $10 to fill up my tank and now i am lucky if it is less that $30 ... and gas must be killing you driving from ballwim to downtown stl ... i know driving from north stl to kirkwood isn't helping me any ...
I remember when filling up my car only cost me $16. I remember driving all over with my mom to find 87 cent gas! I thought she was crazy then, now I want cheap prices again.
Up in Chicago, I have only seen two stations still at $3.09 but most are between $3.19 and $3.31 but even more downtown. Yikes!! Filling up is definitely pushing over $40 now.
Good thing we drove to northern Illinois last weekend!
