5/17    Support Gas Out day tomorrow.  Bike or take public transport.
        <DEAD>www.gasout.org<DEAD>
        \_ was it that gas rose +7 points in the consumer price index
           or that the CPI rose 7 points because of high gas prices?
           (yes, the CPI is the reason everyone is screaming inflation now)
           \_ oil and gas contributed to most of CPI increase.  That was
              expected.  Anyone can tell you that gas prices were sky high
              last month.  The big question is, has the market discounted
              a likely increase in rates?  Will Big Al send the market
              into a tail-spin tomorrow?
