$5.00 + For Gas IS HERE!
Just saw a report on FOX 5 nightly News, where they were interviewing people in the Washington, D.C. area. In the background was an Exxon station with $4.99.9 for Regular and $5.10.9 for Premium. 
If some stations in that area have the BALLS to get those prices, whats to stop stations in this area from giving it a go.
Easter is this weekend (big Holiday travel) and of course HERE COMES SUMMER!
I know that my travel to car show events will be impacted if that price is anywhere near that, and that the NEON will be the car of choice!

welcome to california a few years back. it reached these levels when i used to live there. the sad thing about gas is, they can charge whatever they want...and we'd still pay. c'est la vie

Do you really think it's OK to tell retailers what to price their products at?
I'm going to go to Burger King for lunch and give them **** about selling the Whopper for more that 99 cents as I think it's criminal to charge more.
It is a free market economy. If you don't like it you do not have to pay.
However, I fully understand that people need to be able to buy fuel to earn a living, etc and that the prices of consumer goods will rise as well. Who knows, maybe the government will step in. If not, spread your wallet wide.

I figure its just easier to cut out some unnecessary trips and go easier on the throttle and my weekly gas allowance has stayed constant. For example, I try a bit more to arrange all my meetings at work for the same day, so I am not running to and from the office 3 or 4 times a week. I now put about 200-220 miles on my car a week, down from about 250. It all adds up.

I honestly don't see any stepping in from the gov, a comment was made by a certain single person regarding gas is that we should trade in our cars for more energy efficient vehicles....won't name names or I might get an infraction. On another note this is a commom occurence for me....last time gas spiked I was about done building my first T/A, now gas is back up and I'm in the midst of building my second one...
