Daylight-saving gas price increase

Higher gas prices usually accompany the change to daylight-saving time. Now we get the increases four weeks earlier than usual this year. If we were still doing it the pre-2007 way, we wouldn't be changing the time for another four weeks.

It makes sense that people will be driving more in the evening daylight. The increased demand will cause a price hike. If we stayed on standard time, I'm sure the price increases would occur even later in the spring.
