I've heard rumors to that effect last fall, but I have a hard time imagining prices going up that fast. Here in California a gallon of 89 octane is going for about $1.75, though I see that mustang145 is from Illinois, where they had some of the worst gas prices last year.

Hate to rain on anyone's parade, but we Americans don't realize how good we have it. Some places in Europe sell gas for the equivalent of $3-5 per gallon. Gasoline is a non-renewable resource (or at least, it takes much longer than our lifetimes to renew). As more people use it and supply shrinks, the price is naturally going to go up. Short of using less, the situation is out of our control.
