More than 2 bucks for gas on the East Coast!? Don't we own an oil-producing country now?

Tell me about it! $2.50 on the west coast! You would think it might think about going down, but no. It's supposed to go even higher.

um we don't, nor will we ever, own Iraq
Our contribution to destabilizing Iraq and the Middle East in general is in fact indirectly responsible for the hike in gas prices

Welcome to my world. Good thing I don't have to drive 2 hours to get to where I do my field work or anything. Oh, wait...

I say, bring it on. We're still paying something like half European prices. And the higher gas prices go, the more likely it is that powerful folks will say, "Hey, wouldn't it be nifty if we weren't dependant on this non-renewable, politically messy, polluting fuel source? Let's do something about that." Here's hoping, anyway.

(Of course, I say this as a non-driver, so you can feel free to tell me to shove it.)
