We're being conditioned into thinking that 2.60/gallon is a good deal... I had forgotten what fuel prices were during last year's fall run...

Rhode Island USA
Today 3.207 3.054
Yesterday 3.184 3.05
One Week Ago 2.930 2.851
One Month Ago 2.436 2.349
One Year Ago 1.896 1.832

The rhode island average has gone up ~70% in 365 days
or approximatly $0.25/week

Online I found inflation rates are ~3.17% or so...

Just got to thinking about the people making minimal/low wages who have to commute while I was filling up this AM...
