  • The AP (via the Globe) reports that gas prices have surpassed an average of $4 per gallon in two major metro areas (Chicago and Long Island). Tucson, already too hot for global warming, has the cheapest gas in the nation at $3.48. Bostonist remembers the summer we learned to drive; gas was actually less than $2 a gallon back then. Boston Gas Prices shows prices per gallon ranging from $3.59 to $4.05 in the greater Boston area (that $4.05 is in Waltham; we hope you filled up before driving out for your cousin's graduation from Brandeis). Prices in Europe still make $4 pale in comparison, but when you think of how the price of gas has nearly doubled in two years, it's a little staggering.
