HOW MUCH IS GAS!!

Excuse me if I type in caps because I am very angry, and I do feel like yelling.

WHY IN THE WORLD is gas costing so much!!! So !*!&!^!#ing much! I'm 17, and luckily I have a job, but I am supposed to be saving money, not wasting it ALL of gas!!

I'm still driving my "first car" so it doesn't get great gas milage. I mean, maybe 20 MPG. I'M WASTING SO MUCH MONEY ON DARN GAS!!! I simply can't believe how much it is now!!

I asked my dad, just me dad, not my grandpa, or greatgrandpa, how much he remembers paying for gas, and he remembers it under a $1!!! HOW HAS IT ROSE SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Remember, I still haven't told you were I live, or how much I am paying. You may think taht your $1.25 is OUTRAGEOUS! Wait to you hear my cost.

They blame it on oil thingies blowing up, and the war on Iraq, and more oil thingies blowing up, and terrorist threats on thingies. I say it's LIES! HOW are we SO DEPENDANT on this substance???????

MAKE WATER-fueled cars or soemthing!! This is insane, it's a momopoly, the gas companies know this, and they are COMPLETELY RIPPING US OFF!


I live in central California.

Okay.... today I payed $2.16 and 9/10ths a penny per gallon for my gas.


You?

Just paid 2.50 per gallon in the bay area for 91. Regular here is about 2.15-2.30, depending on the station and which city exactly it's in. Lowest I've seen in my area is about 2.10 for regular. Unfortunately, I'll only put premium in my car.

And my car, which I don't drive all the time mind you, only gets MAYBE 6 MPG on the freeway. It's a damn HOG. But I have my company provided work van for the weeks, and I avoid driving my car on the weekend if at all possible. I MAYBE take it out for errands 2-4 times a month. MAYBE.

Wow, you pay lots for bottled water? I buy something like a Coke then fill it with water after all the Coke is gone.
