Gas Prices Rising

File this under “Because it’s Obvious” and “I Guess it’s Not My Job to Cheer You Up”:  Gas prices are high and getting higher according to this CNNMoney article.  The rise could be attributed to a shortage, though some analysts point out that demand is not yet outpacing supply.  While prices are not near the summer 2008 levels ($4.11/gallon), the spike is raising concerns about what the corresponding decrease in consumer spending might do to the current economic recovery.
