[ale] OT: gas going up this weekend

[Jim Kinney]

If the national avg is $3.88 and the Ga avg is $3.76, adding the $0.05 tax
will bring the Ga avg to $3.80 which is still less $3.88
There are areas around metro Atl where gas is much higher than the state
avg. I tanked up today @ $3.75. Wish my scooter still ran.
