Gas prices going up, up and away!

I spotted this on the Capital Region People blog and thought it seemed just about right.

I paid $2.53 a gallon last night. I don't know about you, but that's the most I've ever had to cough up for gas.

UPDATE: The gas station where I paid $2.53 yesterday jumped a dime overnight to $2.63!

I think we wil leasily be paying more than $3 per gallon by this time next year.
