Prices jumped up this past weekend for me

As of Friday morning, regular unleaded was $2.09 at a grocery store's pumps. (I'm still amazed how a grocery store generally sells gas at the cheapest price here in Texas. Of course, I still can't get over how gas prices in Austin are generally 10 cents or more lower than in Houston, the gas capital of the country).

By Friday night the price went to $2.15. On Sunday it went to $2.18.

This morning the same grocery store has regular unleaded for $2.27.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

I am not merely a "consumer" or a "taxpayer". I am a Citizen of the United States.
