According to AAA, the price of gas has hit its sixth consecutive record high. For something to happen once or twice might be coincidence, but for it to happen six times in a row is clearly the result of supernatural intervention.

Gas strikes 6th straight record high

Retail gas prices hit record highs for the sixth straight day, auto group AAA's Web site showed Tuesday.

The latest reading from AAA showed that the nationwide average for a gallon of regular unleaded hit $3.732, up from $3.718 the previous day.

Gas prices have now increased for seven straight days. The climb comes ahead of the Memorial Day holiday and start of the summer driving season.

Rocky Twyman's pathetic Prayer at the Pump movement has withered in the face of my Fill Up with Fell effort.

In a related comment, LiveJournal user jjjiii pleads for mercy:

Rocky, we've been waiting for you.
