shot up overnight here yesterday from 3.19 a gollon to 3.39 a gallon. I'm not sure just how that is possible even with the unrest in Lybia but it appears we are headed once again to 4 buks a gallon. UGH

It's the same philosophy that's used for produce or any other commodity. On your way to the grocery store you hear that there was a light freeze last night, and only last night, in Florida and the tomato (no E) crop may be in jeopardy. You get to the store and the already there tomatos are now $1.49 each (and look like they were thrown there from Florida) when yesterday the were 35 cents a piece-you're just being foolish and being very unreasonable to think that someone is trying to GOUGE YOU or SCREW YOU because they have all the control and you have none. 'nothing to see here, keep moving'

Don't take this the wrong way, but if anyone in North America should complain it's us here in Canada. We here in Vancouver are already pay $4.68 per gallon. That price is pre-revolution-induced-price-increase. Who knows what it'll get up to in the next few days.

That being said, I can do nothing but cringe when I think about the gas prices in europe which traditionally are substantially higher than anything we've ever seen or will see in the near future.

Peace,
