$4 a gallon gas coming to a station near you
It's on its way folks. 4 bucks a gallon! Are you still loving that 12mpg suv? That's 33 cents a mile, just in time for a nice long summer vacation. Let's see, a nice trip to say Maine, a thousand miles round trip, $333 for gas. Now let's just say you crammed the family into a Matrix, at 33 mpg that's about $80. And you get drive to work for less the rest of the year. But what about the all the room in the suv, and the amenities? Time for the kids to play car games: spotting license plates, looking at the scenery of this great country, fighting with each other. Again the point here is why pay too much for energy. I love it when I pull into the gas station and see some 20 yo filling up an old GMC Jimmy that needs a tune up, the friggin thing is getting all of 10 mpg. For the 300 miles they drive a week they're paying $100. R U kidding me! When I was a kid I had a VW bug that got 30 mpg, gas was between 20 and 30 cents a gallon, so let's say 25 cents, I drove about 300 miles a week, for a total of $3 a week, the same price I paid for a gallon of gas yesterday!
