If my gas was worth this much...

I would be a millionaire!

Well...isn't this GREAT news...

Gas in my neck of the woods is currently $2.47/gallon the last time I filled up. Last week, I filled up on Monday and it was $2.38. It was up to $2.47 by that Friday. Up 8 cents in 5 freakin' days!

This is so sad, but I can vividly remember when I was 16 and first started driving. My first car was a 1979 Buick Electra. (AKA "Land Yacht"). It was a gas guzzler, but it was a good car. I could cruise up the street to the EZ-Check and get gas for $.088/gallon. 88 FREAKIN' CENTS PER GALLON! I could fill up the Land Yacht for a smidge over $10.

Now, I have a car that has a 15 gallon tank and costs me around $30 every time I stop to fill 'er up. Considering my commute is 28 miles each way...that's a lot of gas folks.

To make a long story short...gas prices are out of control and us drivers are getting bent over the barrel..literally.
