Becoming & Staying Debt Free: Gasoline Prices: How High Will They Go?

Becoming & Staying Debt Free: Gasoline Prices: How High Will They Go?: "It should be no surprise to anyone that gas prices are up. In fact one news site even said they were up 26.7 cents per gallon over last week.Now that is a significant jump. One that will truly effect prices of everything that we buy. GasBuddy.com says that the average price of a gallon of gas today is $3.211 here in Austin, TX and $3.352 nationally. Compared to a year ago when gas was $2.545 here in Austin, TX and $2.695 nationally. This weekend I have seen some stations as high as $3.35 here in Austin. However, we will focus on the current average price rather then the highest. That is roughly a 67 cent jump over last year and 26 cents of that was just in the past week."
