I have NO sympathy for any American who complains about the price of gas. Anyone with a little foretsight could have figured out a few years ago that gas prices weren't going to stay low. Instead, too many of us decided to buy the Excursion, the Suburban, the F-350 Super Duty (to drive to work as a commuter vehicle). I see it every day here in Wyoming. Big fragile ego + zero forethought = going into debt for an absurdly large vehicle. Cry me a river.
Then I assume you bought a boat load of then-depressed petroleum stocks and are now very rich indeed? Or is hindsight 20/20?
