Yesterday, I saw that the local Mobil station in Ingleside, Illinois, had jumped gas up to $3.70!!! ($3,69.9, it's really time for folks to start recognizing that 9/10s of a cent is pretty close to a whole cent. So, $3.69.9 is really much closer to $3.70.
I am not sure what it was Monday, so don't know how much it went up. Gas in nearby Fox Lake was still $3.46 so topped off the car and also filled up my five-gallon gas can (I use that for the yard tractor).
We should have seen this coming, Big Oil and their allies had made sure that the price of gas, around here anyway, had never gotten below $3.30 all winter. That provides a handy platform from which to launch their annual gouge.
Back on Jan. 23rd, gas was $3.46 in Fox Lake and then by Feb. 1st was $3.34. Now, we are in full pre-summer winter drive price gouge mode.

Still not funny.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
