ZChi-

I'm in Ohio, so I'm feelin' ya on the supa high gas prices. I heard (as in, I have no information to actually back this up) that the midwest was being used as a test market to see how people react to prices being increased so much and so fast. (Which explains why it's $.30/gallon cheaper in Georgia, but I don't know about Indiana). Anyways, the midwest is the general test market for lots of national things, so it would make sense, if it is true. Sucks to be average midwesterners, eh?

you're right, gas is cheap in the U.S. compared to other (European) countries. But Americans are used to getting a great abundance for a little cost (have you seen the portions restaurants hand out over here?!)
