how much has price of gas gone up since bogus joe stepped in ....................15 cents?
So you're OK with gas prices going up even more? Note that this application was filed in February 2009, when the average gasoline price in the United States was $1.975/gal (
https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=pet&s=emm_epm0_pte_nus_dpg&f=m). This was only six months removed from the highest per gallon prices in history at the time (still the highest, when adjusted for inflation). So 15 cents a gallon over a roughly $2/gal pump price is an almost 8% hike alone. If you adjust for inflation, that price increase now (or even six months prior to the filing) is closer to 30-35 cents/gal.
