chibi_trillianI just read that gas is over $4 a gallon in some parts of Southern California.
To all the folks in SoCal with cars: Dude, that sucks. I'm sorry.
Until I read that, I'd discounted estimates that gas would go over $5 a gallon as being alarmist. Now I'm just hoping it doesn't get up that high here. I can't afford to pay $75 for a tank of gas. $45 a tank is already pushing it. On the good side of things, the Maryland MTA might turn a profit this year for the first time in its history.
In related news, oil companies are apparently unrepentant about their unusually high first quarter profits this year.
