I was just curious how hard, if at all, other areas of the country were hit at the gas pumps because of Ike. Here in the Southeast (NC), I filled up on Friday at $3.61. Prices right now are at around $4.20, so they went up about 60 cents over the weekend. I heard that prices won't be back down for a couple of weeks. Has there been an increase out West? I assume not a 60 cent one. How about in the Midwest or East? I'm just trying to figure out if I am the only one being screwed here.

Unfortunately, i went to the temple Friday night, so despite filling up my car, I am now down to 1/4 tank. I thought I was supposed to get blessed for attending the temple? Where are my blessings (at least the tangible, gas price related ones)?

$3.49 this morning for mid grade. Down about ten cents from the start of last week.

No change out here in California that I''ve noticed. About $3.90 for the past couple of months.

His monetary value is low, and my monetary value is high, and it's a shame that he is himself. What can I do?"
