Cool Ouch That Hurts

We left on a trip to Illinois on November 21. Filled up gas tank at $3.03 per gallon. We returned on November 26 and filled up the tank at $3.42 per gallon. On TV we saw a oil company representive being interview about the huge $0.39 increase in only one week. He stated; It's the driving season"....etc.
I believe this is translated to; " this is the biggest traveling season of the year and we (the oil companies) plan to stick it to them"..And to thank them, we subsidize the oil companies with billions. AND IT DOES HURT A LOT OF DRIVERS.
