--snip
Albany-- Once again, gas prices shot up overnight. Prices in Albany are up ten to twenty cents. As prices increase, so does driver frustration. There's no doubt that many drivers are fed up with filling up.

"They're very, very expensive and the prices are outrageous and real ridiculous," says driver Latricia Bloom. Bloom says ridiculous prices leave a heavy dent in her pocket. For her, the prices seem to go up constantly.

Meanwhile the national debt grows, the trade deficit grows, and we're killing innocent people all over the world and our soldiers are getting their tails kicked too. How' bout that bush, heck of a job. WORST president EVER!

2. Can anyone explain to me logically why prices have risen

so high and so fast? I don't understand. Is it speculators on Wall Street? :shrug:

4. And tell me why prices are LOWER in SC, our neighbor with HIGHER gas tax

This makes no f'in sense. I have lived in GA for a LONG time and SC and NC always have been MUCH higer than GA. Now, for, what, the last couple of years, SC has been lower. SOMEONE'S making some bucks on this and it ain't us! Where is that extra profit going? Let me guess!

5. Spring Break

Prices are 40 cents a gallon more in Corpus Christi.

I paid 1.85 a gallon in the Texa Rio Grande Valley last month. Was back there this week and it's the same as Corpus, 2.45 in places.

Of course, South Padre Island has a lot to do with it.

6. Interesting, as gas inventories are at a record high

7. NBC said the top oil CEO'S testified

under oath last week and were implying they were pissed and that is why the jump in prices.I never knew they testified last week?
