2.71 in Eagle, CO today, for 91 octane.  Fortunately I was on my 'scoot, so 
I only needed $4 worth!

Funny how gas prices didn't used to go up 20 cents a gallon every time there 
was a storm, isn't it?

I don't buy any of the speculator's BS ... lots of people are making lots of 
money in the futures markets every day, mostly because the same people who 
are producing the product seem to be bidding it up... storms, low reserves, 
blah blah ... it's what used to be called a rip off;  if government had 
raised the cost through a new tax people would be crying ... the private 
sector however, seems exempt from criticism in this country as long as 
there's a storm in the Gulf.  No wonder these clowns like global warming!
