Gas Prices

What is going on with gas prices? Practically overnight, gas prices here in Waterloo have shot up nearly a dime to $1.959 per gallon! These escalating gas prices really make me hope that my fiancee manages to find a job in the Iowa City area so we can live there instead of Cedar Rapids. I hate to think how much money I'll be spending on gas if I end up commuting 60 miles every day.
