It's official. For this time of the year, we are paying more at the pump than any time before in history. 

Is it my imagination, or do prices at the pump spike whenever Iran or North Korea make any advancements in their space programs?  It sure seems like it.  A week ago a photo surfaces supposedly showing a monkey in a spacecraft in Iran and BOOM...prices go through the roof the very next day.  It seems like it happens whenever there's news of a successful rocket launch.

Meanwhile, North Korea is openly flaunting its nuclear ambitions in a propaganda youtube video portraying a dream sequence set to "We Are The World" that shows New York City going up in flames. <read more here>   Lovely.  That ought to help keep prices high.

There's not a whole lot we can do about some world events, but maybe we can do something about these gas prices...by voting with our billfolds.

If we reward the gas stations that keep prices lower with our business, it will encourage competition...and it'll save you a buck or so with every fill-up.  Every little bit helps.

Remember, if you're going to drive, drive responsibly.

Stay fueled, my friend!
