Like they have been saying on the news... in the early 80's, gas was costing you more per gallon at the rate of the dollar. In otherwords, sure, you only paid 1.50 a gallon, but you weren't making NEARLY what you were back then. I was a kid, but i remember my dad's mortgage, plus the re-mortage, plus the fees and BS was still only 320 bucks.... I remember apartments going for 100 and some chainge... This 3.20 a gallon isn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be.

(this part is not aimed at any one particular person)
There's nothing you can do... simply suck it up, quit whining, and drive on. Crying about gas prices is as effective as crying about the weather.... it doesn't do anythiong but make you sound like a whiner.
Big oil is JUST like any other big buisness.
Think Wall Mart... they bully there supliers... becouse they can... becouse you will shop there, to save your 35 cents on groceries compaired to the other place.
Big oil will continue to charge what ever they can... becouse you'll continue to drive. period.

Now... I'm gonna go gas up my truck, and the mower.

couldnt have said it better, i also drive the same as always, i love my truck and love every second of driving it and hearing the exhaust and im not gona go out a get some little 4banger to save gas and watch my truck sit for no reason, if you all want to complain about the gas prices and not get any because of it thats fine just more for me
