For the first time in my life I paid over $3 for gas today.
I got $92 worth of $3.09 unleaded.
Then I rushed home to buy gas for the car and lawnmower at that "low" price but they boosted it to $3.19 before I could get back up there and I had to pay another $40 for 12 gallons.
That's $132 total in gas just today that somebody else (McDonalds) won't get.
But.. There is a good side to the high price. For the first time since last summer, I'm seriously considering what to do about higher fuel prices.
My response so far has been so simple: I raised my prices! Pass it on.
No recession now:
