On the Kenai about a week ago, I saw my first $5.00+/gal regular unleaded gas. Even though the oil comes from Alaska, they don't have a refinery, so gas is very expensive up here (they send it down to the lower 48 to refine, and then it comes back up - lots of traveling costs).
Then, a few days later, I found myself paying $5.37/gal for 2 gallons of gas in Denali (I put in the bare minimum to get me to the next small town, where I added a few more gallons for the bargain rate of $4.96/gallon).
YIKES!
