The price of gas jumped .8% last month. In one month!
It was the biggest jump in prices since September 2005, when gasoline prices spiked higher in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
How did that happen?

About Me
- Will Conway
- A political and news obsessed senior in high school who may think he's a bit older than than he is. I write for several local newspapers: I report for and have a column in the Fairfield Minuteman, and I write for the Register Citizen and Bridgeport Banner. I have also interned in the District Office of former Congressman Christopher Shays.
Endorsements:
"Young people love to think of themselves as rebels and nonconformists in their "liberal" outlook, but the truth is, any kid who leans right today is the real rebel and has to go against the grain to have such views. Please support those young men like Will who are willing to be different."
"Excellent blog with some excellent political commentary. This young blogger has an insight beyond his age! I highly recommend this blog to anyone."
"I get the sense you're going places - and, after last night, God knows we need some new blood."

why is youth wasted on the young?
Gasoline is a commodity used the world over. It is actively traded on world-wide markets. It's price went up 0.8% in one month - and you think this is a big increase?
Big wup. ZERO POINT EIGHT percent?
Do you know how small an increase of ZERO POINT EIGHT percent really is?
0.8% is the equivalent of something that costs $1.25 going to...
drumroll, please...
a whopping $1.26.
Wow, that's news. A one penny increase on something that costs $1.25? Young man, you need to learn more about markets and prices if you think a ZERO POINT EIGHT PERCENT increase is noteworthy.
for the sake of numbers, ill double your 1.25 to 2.50 for gas (if you can find 2.50, maybe I will get that rc helicopter).
regardless, that means 2.50 goes to 2.52
times a weekly 20 gallons is $50.40 as opposed to $50. not much. but when you look at it in the long term, 50.40 x 12 months = 604.80 as opposed to $600 a year.... still not much. crap (but when you multiply it by 20 years.... no)
wow, crappiest logic ever. I am strongly considering taking this post down altogether
