You've been living in the same town as the guy I heard on the radio a while back trying to downplay the increase in gas prices. His analogy was that we pay $1.25 for a 20oz bottle of water, so if you compare that to what we pay for 20oz of gas, gas is relatively inexpensive even at today's prices. Bullsh:+! Where have you been living Dirt? Not in the same world as me because our histories are totally different. I was paying $1.50 almost a year ago to the day, and now it's $2.05 at the same gas station. And I can remember back before the 1st Gulf War paying less than $1.00. That's less that 15 years to get to over a dollar increase in price, $.55 of which has come in 12 months. They think if they leave it up for long enough, we'll grow accustomed to it and be content. That's what I'm bitchin' about! And my grandpa spent a lot of time travelling on a horse, so his vehicle made it's own gas. If you don't like the content of our discussions, don't log on.[:@]
