Gas prices, again ...

OK, so yesterday, I go out grocery shopping. I pass by my local Irving and the price of gas is $3.59, up from $3.56 the day before. I pass by an hour and a half later, and I see out of the corner of my eye the number 4 ... I think, as I approach the intersection, Hmm, gas went down to $3.54 in just an hour? Well, no. Gas went UP to $3.64 in about an hour.
While it is important to remember that gas stations don't arbitrarily raise gas prices - the price you pay at the pump is based on what it will cost the station to refill its tank - this stuff is getting insane. How can anything go up by 10 percent in just a few weeks and 20 or 30 percent in just a few months? This is unsustainable. Something really has to be done about it.
