High Gas Prices Raise Even the Price of Cocaine

I found this quite interesting in the news today, as times are tough even for criminals:

Several newspapers around the country are including an Associated Press story about a 18-year-old drug dealer in Portage, Indiana, who allegedly has raised his price for cocaine due to the additional costs of delivery to his clientele. Reportedly, the northern Indiana man told a police informant that he's been charging an additional $25 "fuel surcharge" because of high gas prices, but was promising customers discounts in the future.

Perhaps he was going to buy a Prius…
