Gas +39%

[Economy]

According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of gas is now two bucks sixty. That's up 73 cents since last year, or 39%. There is no place in the country with gas under two bucks a gallon. If it rises by another 39%, next August 19, it will be $3.61. Next August is, incidentally, two and a half months before the midterm elections.

What do you bet Republicans hope this is the end of the run on gas prices?
