Gas prices have stabilized here. At least for now.

As we all know, there is a war going on, started by the US, in the Middle East.
A major crude oil shipping channel near Iran is claimed by some to be at least partially blocked, though the American President says it is not.
In any case, gas at my discount station is up to $5.20/gallon, up about 20 per cent from where it was a couple of months ago.
MyLotters have reported that gas prices are actually DOWN in Georgia and Florida, suggesting that the war is affecting different parts of the US differently..
To my relief, gas prices have not increased here in the past two days. My trip to Brentwood to practice music only cost me about three dollars more than it would have a couple of weeks ago.
Have gas prices stabilized or dropped where you live? I fear they will continue to go higher overall.

Just now
I'm in Georgia and it has in fact been rising here. I know a couple months ago it was down to $2.94 per gallon. Now it's up to $3.59 per gallon. =(
