Gasoline prices are getting an early start on their annual spring increase.
The average U.S. retail price rose 13 cents over the past two weeks to $3.42 per gallon, and within a few days, it likely will set a record for this time of year.
The culprits: Rising crude- oil prices, slowing output at refineries that are undergoing maintenance and low supplies of gasoline.

Fuel prices out of control.
This happens when there is no viable alternative to gasoline.
I can recall paying 99.9 cents per gallon just a few years ago when I lived in Youngstown. I guess that's the price I pay for moving to the burbs. Still worth it, but it sure would be nice to see $2.99 again...even that is a 200% increase!
