I drove yesterday for the first time in days and was surprised to see gas at $3.85 a gallon. Oil crossed the $135/barrel mark yesterday and will no doubt continue upward. Was this the “Surge” of which Bush was speaking?

I was just thinking back to my posts about gas prices. Here’s one where $1.97 was too much. Ha! And then there’s my July 2005 “Crude Awakening” post. I’m wistful for the $2.30 a gallon prices I was bemoaning then.

Back then I was also wondering when gas might be $5 a gallon. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re there by the end of the year. All the more reason I’m happy my commuter vehicle of choice has two wheels.
