Never thought I'd live long enough...

Never thought I'd live long enough...

...to see gas prices where they are today. I filled up my little Neon this afternoon, with
the usual 92-octane I've always used in it, and it cost $51.34 for just over 8 gallons.
That's $6.35 a gallon, and I'm still in shock.

We need some inventive soul to figure out how to make these things run on cheap booze,
because any day now, rotgut whiskey will be cheaper than gasoline.

Couldn't help but leave a comment to let you know the prices here in the UK. The cheapest petrol I can find is $10.32 Canadian a gallon. Enjoy it while it lasts!

I almost can't imagine petrol at $10.32 a gallon - but the way it's going, I may. What bugs me about this situation here is
that we're exporting petroleum products from our country to the U.S.A., and down there, the pump prices are lower than ours. It just doesn't seem right. Why should we pay more for our own resources than non-residents do? What's wrong with this picture? Plenty!!
