Patrick DeHaan of Gas Buddy said:

"To add insult to injury, what was a four-hour major power outage at a refinery outside Chicago over the weekend is now adding even more pain and misery. It hasn't happened yet, but it will happen. The wholesale price of gasoline is now up 60 cents since Monday."

Just be thankful we don't live on the West Coast. Gas prices from California to Washington were over $6 a gallon over the summer. They may be coming down a bit now, but still way our of affordable sight.

I'm shaking my head. Prices, not gas alone, keep going up and up. So, what's one to do?

Hello, Washington?
