I am one of the lucky ones...I filled up this morning when gas was $2.47/gal. Driving home after work it was between $2.89 and $3.05/gal

. That is a 25% increase in 8hr.
Boy would I love that type of increase in my salary in one day!! I would then be could get my Opel to be like I want!!
Baz, and you other folks not on this side of the pond are saying "Welcome to our world!!!". However, I think some of the biggest Oil Companies are actual on your side of the pond (BP, Shell). The reason your gas prices are so high on your side of the pond are the taxes that are charged by your Goverments not the price to the companies.
I sorry for venting but this is unducking belevable!!
