Gas Costs Rising

Hurricanes have battered the Gulf of Mexico in the last 2 weeks. We will soon feel their hit at the gas pumps. Refineries and drilling have been interrupted at best. An assessment following Ike's hit over night will better detail the damages wrought.

While in Indiana and central Illinois earlier this week, Bob and I saw gas at $3.52 a gallon. By the time we got home, the prices here were over $4. I'm not sure what the differences are, if they are taxes or refining specifications.

Meanwhile, our monthly Visa statement has arrived. We spent just under $400 at the pump last month! So we've decided no eating out this month.

'til later
