Crap....I hate it when you tell us prices are going up.

Does that apply to the rest of the U.S. or just on the west coast? Diesel too???

IOW - 48 cents per gallon!!

There's no sales tax or income tax either.

Too bad my wife hates it here!

Just smack her. It's legal there.

Or just say "I divorce you, I divorce you, do you want me to say it the third time?"

She'll fall into line...

Same thing here in Kentucky. Yesterday morning 87 octane was $2.47/gal. By 3PM every station had gone to $2.75/gal. WTF?

Shut up before us Washingtonians get all outraged and fumed at your low gas prices.

We're still at $3.00/gal for regular in most places.

The tesoro refinery up there in Anacortes is getting ready to start back up, that should drive the prices down.
