STICKER SHOCK!

Dawn Boyle

Well it happened. Seems like over night the prices of gas has soared to over $4.00 a gallon. The all time high was two years ago in July when it topped at $4.41. We will see that and probably raise it. Rumors are buzzing that we will hit $5.00 a gallon by the time summer is in full swing.

Why isn't our government opening up our reserves? Why aren't we drilling off our shores? Why is it that any chance of the economy bouncing back has been destroyed by the disturbance in the Middle East?

I am heading Upstate today for Passover. I drive through Jersey for about 20 minutes. I will be filling up there, for some reason they are about 50 cents cheaper a gallon!

New websites are popping up all over trying to help the consumer, check out gasbuddy!

LUNCH TIME POLL

With the turmoil in the Middle East and the price of gas climbing with the possibility of  hitting $5.00 a gallon, is it time for us to start off shore drilling?
