Jay, maybe one of your friendly Iowa neighbors who wanted to screw you
for buzzing his house with your noisy airplane raised the prices by 90%,
but 22% was the average in the state of Iowa. On 9/1, the average price
of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline in Iowa was $2.47. It peaked at
$3.03 and fell back to $2.61.

The US DOE and EPA has a site that reports gasoline prices in the US. We
found it very useful putting together a trip earlier this year.

Unprecedented is a touch strong. Katrina sent crude up all of $5 per
barrel to $70. It has back to $65.82. From May, 2005 to September,
2005,
crude went from $50 to $65 per barrel.

Really? Isn't it funny (sad?) that the gas stations around here used
Katrina as an excuse to increase prices by 90%?
