Thursday, September 01, 2005 It's a Gas, Gas, Gas Gas prices have gone from nuts to insane. Tuesday it was $2.55 at the cheap place and this morning it was $2.99. Just about a 45-cent increase in 48 hours. What the hell is that? Because even if they come down, it won't be by a lot and it'll just edge up from there. When I started driving, gas was .70-cents a gallon; $3.00 a gallon is here to stay. The thing about gasoline is that we have no real choices. It's not like I can choose not to drive to work today. I can't not go to the supermarket for food. I can't not have a car. Hell, the corner store is still a car ride away. It's not like I can rush over to the dealership and pick up a hybrid or something. Not the the industry has ever been gun-ho about producing alternative technologies that lessen our dependence on oil. God forbid, we suddenly have the freedom from paying tribute to the industry. So when my tank cost me $50 to fill, I have to cut back in other ways. We've already cut our monthly free spending amounts. Which means less Lego for me. Which, immediately, means less wheat for Shaun. (Man, I just break all my bad news here, don't I?) posted by Evil Wayne | 9:43 AM 3 comments 3 Comments:
