 No relief in sight

Gas prices continue to climb here on the island. (a month ago)
I was complaining a year ago, but at this rate I'd be pretty happy with $2.53 a gallon.
Hawaii has a gas cap law now which controls the price of wholesale gas, the only one in the nation. Unfortunately retail prices are nuts, $3.11 in one station and down the street, $3.29...this happens even among the same gas station companies, two weeks ago, $3.59. With the hurricanes in the gulf coast, we can expect prices to jump up again, yay! When the gas cap first started some people waiting in long lines at the Costo ($2.98 gal?)gas station were downright nasty...yelling, honking, cussing....sheesh
Yeah, here in Honolulu it's hitting like 3.30 for regular.
Glad I left my Avalanche on Guam.
