Price gouging?

damn! gasoline went up big time! I got gas last night because we heard that it was gonna go up to new records,.. luckily we got it at $3.95/gal. After we ate dinner on the ride home it was up to $5.00/gal. This should be against the law,.. I mean soon it will be minimum wage. I remember when I was a teenager we would drive just to do something! Back then it was like $1.25/gal.

A gallon is 3.9something litres and you pay $5 for that and are complaining?\r \r You're in frigging wonderlands, get a grip.\r \r A litre of the damn stuff costs €2.45 overhere. Do the math yourself. But stop bitching over five lousy dollars for almost 4 litres of the damn stuff.\r \r People complain over everything.

I know it's more expensive everywhere else. I can complain about anything I want, for example people ragging my blog. maybe you should blog about what you consider a ridiculous blog.

Amen PU. \r \r @CC, my understanding is that gasoline in Europe and elsewhere costs more b/c it is taxed by the government officials that are chosen by the people. \r \r Our gas costs more b/c some corporation with no direct accountability to the people decided to charge more.\r \r Quite a different circumstance.\r \r NG
