Pumping your gas is beginning to be as hazardous as actually getting behind the wheel itself. A new record high was recorded Monday.

The price of a gallon of unleaded regular has now jumped to $3.66 a gallon in Mississippi. It's even higher in Alabama, at $3.71 per gallon.

Those numbers, according to gasbuddy.com are both lower than the national average of $3.79 a gallon for regular unleaded.

If comments are moderated, how does the spam get through? Who approves it? Anyway... if we elected Colonel Sanders as president and the price of chicken tripled, I don't think anybody would have a problem figuring out what happened. The price of gas is exactly where they want it, stop complaining and vote.

The only thing that pisses me off more then the ridiculous gas prices is the fact that someone kept stealing gas right out of my car! People "siphoned" (it means sucking gas out of my gas tank) multiple times in the middle of the night in front of my house, in parking garages near my office, etc. It made me SOOO MAD that a $60 tank of gas was stolen multiple times. I found a website where I bought a *locking gas cap*. Now people can't take my gas cap off to steal my gas. I wish I would have found this locking gas cap before I got multiple tanks of gas stolen. But whatever, at least now my gas is safe. I'd suggest you protect your gas with www.StolenGas.com Get a locking gas cap before someone steals your $60 tank of gas! www.StolenGas.com

Higher fuel prices are partly caused by poor support for the dollar. The other part is 2 third world countries with HUGE populations becoming industrialized nations. I have been testing fuel saving products for years, and had not found anything that gave consistent results until now. Go to the results I posted here. http://www.OurFuelSaver.com These results are incredible. one vehicle in this test has gone from 13.3 mpg to 17.9 mpg. That is over 30% increase. I do not see this energy situation getting any better in the near future. bruce
