ON THE ROAD — GasBuddy.com has issued a gas price hike alert.

I’m sorry, they capitalize that.

Gas Price Hike Alert.

Lately, there’s been a lot of hand-wringing (and not a little news story hype) when the price of gas rises, even when the hikes have been about 20 cents a gallon.

Sorry, I just can’t get excited any more.

I’m looking at my GasBuddy app right now, and it shows $3.14 at the nearest gas station. GasBuddy warns that prices will rise to $3.35.

Hey, if prices don’t rise by at least 20 cents a gallon, I’m yawning.

But look out! There’s a Gas Price Hike Alert out there!
