Every spring, the prices at the gas pump go up. Most aren't even shocked by another 25 cents, but what about the more than 80 cents over the last four months? Judging by behavior, many Americans seem to be taking $3-a-gallon gas in stride. On The Sound of Ideas, we'll find out just what is fueling the current gasoline price spike and just how much it's discouraging driving. We'll also talk about some transportation alternatives when the pump price is too much to bear, Wednesday morning at nine on 90.3.
