Wow! Gas is expensive!

So I was driving to work this morning and gas was at $2.79. On my drive home, it was $3.19. $0.40 increase in 11 hours.

I was checking out this post to see how close I was to predicting gas prices. I apparently can't. Gas is already above what I thought it might be in two years.
