The LPR Gas Price Hike Watch
(higher than last week)

MARCH 27, 2005 --

More LPR evidence on the rapid rise in gas prices. LPR wonders if the way to deal with the gas price thumb in the eye are the higher interest rates provided by Fed chairman Alan Greenspan.

Anyone doubt that drivers are getting a gas price thumb in the eye?

Anyone think high gas prices are good for the economy?

Looks like it will take de facto collective action from motorists -- leaving cars home -- for gas prices to drop.
