Gas was around $3.00 here at the start of the year, now it's pushing $4.75 around here.
Same experience here in FL. I remember early in the year hitting a gas station outside my usual area and they pre-authorized my credit card at the pump for 100 bucks, and a tank was still under $50 for me at the time. They were definitely expecting some theft losses.

Sadly, while regular is around that $4.80 mark here, I have to use premium which I have paid up to $5.90 for, so far.
