I see that the news is finally discussing my jump in gas prices (I paid 1.29 today). This is the AP story:Yahoo! News – Gas Prices Begin National Climb “Analysts say a recent decision by OPEC (news – web sites) and other oil producers to hold down production, and the traditional spring rise in demand as driving time increases with the warming weather have shaped prices.”

They say it’s the biggest 4-week increase since they started keeping records in 1990.
