Gas prices jumped up to $3.43-$3.45 around here yesterday. I filled up (had half a tank left) at "only" $3.27 at a station that hadn't yet increased prices.

I was excited to find a station that was at $3.19 yesterday. Most were $3.29. I was kicking myself for not buying it the night before when it was $3.09.

Then I think "It's really pathetic when I'm happy to pay $3.19."

Here's an idea... let's cut the gasoline tax and recoup it with increasing tax on cigarrettes!

We need gasoline (and home heating fuels)...no one NEEDS cigs!

The State of Florida is acutally thinking of raising the cigrraate tax by a dollar and a half. They are facing a huge deficit this year, thanks in part to our crazy governor who loves to spend money we just don't have! Ok, I will end my rant now!

I live about 2 miles away from my office, and everywhere else I would possbily need to go is within about a 20 mile radius..... Generally I fill up my tank about once .. *maybe* twice a month.

Gas prices here used to be bad... then they went down again ($2.80/$2.90 range).. then all of a sudden it went up to $3.05... Ok cool.

Then I fill up my tank last week and it's $3.35/gal for the cheap stuff!

Wowzers.

Supposedly it's only going to get worse. Maybe this is the scary media trying to freak everyone out, but I hear it's going to be over $4/gal for the cheap stuff by the end of Spring
