POLL: What Is Going on With Gas Prices?!?

Regular gas is averaging more than $3.79 a gallon in Gig Harbor. How is it affecting your commute?

In case you somehow missed it, gas prices are taking a meteoric rise in the South Sound.

In Gig Harbor, the price for regular gas at some stations was more than $3.79 a gallon. In places such as Tacoma, it was just under $4 a gallon. That's almost 75 cents more than what it was last month.

There's lots of speculation about the rising gas prices. Some say speculators are behind it. Others attribute it to a recent fire at a Bellingham gas refiniery this month.
