They said it was sue to happen in the Gulf states, as everyone panics about Hurricane Ike, as the refineries have to stop production while the storm hits. It should be a temporary bump, I'm guessing you are close enough so that your gasoline comes from those refineries more directly.

I filled my tank a couple days ago, so am fine for a little while. It turns out my supermarket chain has a "gas points" program, and as the two I shop I don;t have a gas station, I had never paid attention. Went online, found the one with a gas station closest to me (8 miles) and filled my tank for 75 cents less a gallon than the street price. That was cool!
