How's This for a Jolt in the Old Gas Tank and Wallet

Yesterday, we went out boating and put five gallons of gas in the tank. It cost $3.88 a gallon for rtegular.

I always look at gas prices and have been encouraged that the price is dropping, sorry about that Exxon-Mobil. Although, it seems to have gotten stuck at this price at most stations in Fox Lake, Illinois. (I should mention here that Wednesday, we got gas in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, a major tourist resort, for $3.79, the "cheapest" I've seen in quite awhile.)

Gas was still $3.92 at the unfriendly Philip's 66 on US-12, but $3.88 everywhere else, including Idiot Boy's Citgo on 12. On the way home, we were shocked to see the price at $4.06!!!!! That's an 18 cent increase in just over 3 hours!!! What gives??? It takes the stations over a month to drop that amount!!!!

What happened? Did the Boy blow his cool, or did some Mideastern or African dictator sneeze? Or perhaps, the GRB Bog Oil Dudes just WANTED more money.
