Mission statement.

Gas at the closest gas station to my house is going up 30 cents a gallon for basic unleaded tomorrow morning. I know this because the a station down the street always puts their price hike up just before midnight. To me, It's not funny anymore.

There is nothing we can do about gas prices. We can, in a show of unity, create out of the blogosphere a chronicle of this. A history for ourselves, and a massive, virtual sit in. We're not going to post opinion, just the price. Let numbers as crazy as these speak for themselves.

We will be noticed. Please create a slog.

A simple title. Address example: 63129slog.blogspot.com Just have your zip code followed by slog in the blogger address creation bar. Creating a Slog for your area, if you're already a blogger member, should only take a few minutes.

All we'll post is the price of basic unleaded at the station closest to our homes. We won't say what the name or brand of the station is, they don't need advertising.

Thank you. Our collective voice will be heard, and the world will know that we're losing our patience with the prices at the pump.
