Gas Prices: Fuckity fuck fuck FUCK!
I just went to the store, and passed a gas station along the way. Regular was at $3.71; medium grade was $3.91; premium grade was $4.01.

Makes me even more glad that I work from home.

9. I paid 3.39 9/10ths per gallon yesterday.
It was at the Kroger gas station in Tennessee using their 10 cents off per gallon when you spend 100 bucks a month in the store.

13. It's $1.25 a litre here today
That works out to $4.75 per US gallon. And this is Alberta, where all the oil is. Jeez, I'm sure trying to drive with a light foot these days.
