    Send us your feedback, message, talk topics, etc Gas prices just jumped again — and drivers are feeling it. In this episode of the Mic Manifestation Podcast, listener Carlos writes in asking why gas prices suddenly jumped 40 cents overnight and whether it’s time to trade in his Chevy Silverado V8 truck for something more fuel efficient.
