Also the damn stuff is running out, which means it's not going to trend cheaper.

I am surprised that Yubba does not mention the cost of fuel is Florida I live in FL and so does Yubba(I think he claimed to have at one point anyway) and in Florida the gas prices always go up staring in spring to so they can get all that money from the tourists.I have relatives in Louisiana an drive out a few times a year Florida no matter the time of year always has higher prices than any other Gulf Coast state more so in the summer time yet the Gulf Coast has tons of oil wells and refineries(mostly in Texas) and there is a huge port in Florida where oil is off loaded we are closer to the supply line than other states yet we pay more than we should.
Something you may also notice in the US is that the price of fuel at a gas station right off of the Interstate almost always is .2~.3 cent sometimes as much as .10 more per gallon than a gas station away from the interstate.
