New England Gas Prices Rise

Gas prices in our little northern New England seacoast town, are definately up! It has been new record prices and we have officially past the $50 point of filling up the mini van. It looks like we will be eating out less and as well as making less of those unplanned road trips!

On this evening news, a report on the crazy rising gas prices and gouging caught my eyes. The Department of Energy set up a "gas-watch" website to allow anyone report gas prices in their area:

"The Department of Energy is very concerned about the impact of gasoline prices on American families. While we are working to address longer term supply issues, we're also working to make sure American families are being treated fairly. If you believe there may be price-gouging, or price-fixing, please contact your local authorities and fill out the form."

Well, here's our chance to stick it back to some of these "silk-gloved" corporate looters of our hard earned money. We just may report a few of these gas stations and even print up some flyers with the website info as well!
