...And nearly crashed. You see, I've been on for a while about how outrageous gas prices have been for a few years, and how I don't understand how gas can go from about 5 cents a gallon when cars first started populating the road, to about a buck fifty in the late 90's ....but I don't understand how it goes from a buck and a half to three dollars and twenty frickin' cents in about a year. Supply and demand I guess. Then if I thought about it more, and looked at the ludicrous profits raked in by the oil companies, and the fact that even a few years after the hikes, the prices hadn't changed. Wouldn't they have had ample time to get production up to demand by now!?

As I sat there getting the nozzle to put fuel into my car, I smiled...for once I actually smiled while putting gas in. Finaly, either outcry from the public has made the big companies listen that it's not about something we want...here in America it's something we NEED. If you don't live in a big city , public transport is a total joke, and you need a car to get ...well, anywhere. This is about our lives and how we live them....so the people in charge needed to listen and either get us some public transport that works....or drop the price of gas to something reasonable that you don't have to work for half a day to fill your tank.

I filled up on the gas that cost me $1.69 a gallon. It took just over ten dollars to fill the tank from about 1/3 full.....

...And I smiled again.

I think I'm gonna go top off the FC tonight...even if it doesn't need it.

Resistance is FUTILE!!!
