Talk Back: What's Your Reaction to the Gas Price Spike

Literally gas prices spiked over 10 cents in the past week. Patch wants to know your feedback.

Patch drives around town alot. And literally, from one afternoon to an evening we saw gas prices jump from about $3.99 at Hess to nearly $4.15 at another Bayport station and then Hess following suit the next day.

And yet no public protests, or outcry for a 'no gas day' or grassroots push back at the pump.

What's your take on the recent spike in price? Do you think it's election related or just the Middle East sending a message or a clear indication that the U.S. has to get its act together on solar and non-oil technologies?
