While last years hurricanes are a part of the problem, there are other factors making gas prices higher. I can't wait til this years hurricane season.

NEW YORK - Crude-oil prices broke through $75 a barrel to hit a new record Friday, fueled by concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions and tight U.S. gasoline supplies.
Prices at the pump also kept rising, with the average price of a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline at $2.855, up 3 cents from a day earlier and more than 60 cents higher than a year ago, according to AAA's daily fuel gauge report.
Crude prices, which are more than 40 percent higher than a year ago, have risen 8.4 percent from Thursday's closing price — the biggest weeklong jump since the week ended June 17, 2005, when crude futures rose 9 percent.
Analysts say oil prices are likely to climb even higher in the weeks ahead as worries grow about how international pressure on Iran, OPEC's No. 2 oil producer, will affect its crude output. Rebel disruptions of oil production in Nigeria, the fifth-biggest source of U.S. oil imports, also pose a risk to supply.
You know, though, I JUST thought of it (sometimes my brain is a little slow). The prices for mine and ScottoMacD's gas prices were converted to US gallons - but they are still in Canadian funds. Oooops.
By today's conversion (1 CAD = 0.879275 USD):
mine $4.16 CAD = U.S. $3.65
S-MacD $4.54 CAD = U.S. $3.99

Hawaii has a law that makes them base their gas prices on the average between the highest and lowest in the continental US or something like that...By all logic though they should have just gone with market prices since they get their gas from Indonesia and wouldn't be affected by most crises in the Middle East.
