Gas Pricing Roller Coaster

Last week the price of gas was dropping and I was just getting comfortable with my budget. Then when I went to the Thornton’s this morning to buy gas I saw that the price has gone up over 20 cents a gallon. What caused this sudden jump? Why are we having to pay so much for gas again?

Slow Down

Today I was driving on the interstate and two cars passed me by in the passing lane. That in itself was perfectly OK, but I was going the 70 mph speed limit and the two cars passed me in a flash. They must have been going well over 100 mph and were obviously together or chasing each other. It all happened so fast I didn’t even notice their license plate numbers.
