it looks like the brand they drank in "Repo Man".
But that is a choice people make and within their control. I have moved more than once because of where I was working.
$50 every time I visit the gas station and $200 at the grocery store are all the statistics I need.
The oil companies charge so much for gasoline these days because they can.
ya know, it's funny. I hear my girlfriend make that complaint fill-up after fill-up. then she gets mad when I tell her to stop supporting idiotic Demon-rat-ic policies if she wants cheap gas. To which i get the reply "well, i support it if it keeps the air clean." ugh, i can't win...
Here we go again...conditioning the sheeple into accepting the new "settled price" of gas, along with the usualy BS comparisons of how milk is more expensive to gas, etc.
"Right. And I tire of the news stories that compare gas to milk. When was the last time you had to put 15 gallons of milk into your car?"
It's not just comparing it to the price of milk, it's comparing it to earlier prices of GAS in inflation-adjusted dollars. And another poster compared the average time it takes an average worker to "earn" a gallon of gas.
But hey, as someone else said, people want to complain about the price of gas -- and they always do -- so apparently these FACTS are largely irrelevant. Sigh.
Six-pack=72 ounces
Gallon=128 ounces

Of course it is. I have said the same thing in this forum many times in the past few months. (Some people get real angry about it, too, seemingly insisting it's not within their control.)
But, since you mentioned alleged "improvements in mpg" since 1981—something which is also within their control—I just thought I'd mention the kink in your comparison.
I think it was Patrick Bedard a few months ago in Car And Driver who compared today's gas mileage to that of a decade or two ago and found that it's going down, not up, due to higher vehicle weights and consumer choice.

Red, White & Blue?
Olympia?
Of course. Your point?
It is not alleged, but certainly smaller than I expected when you look at volume averaged figures that take into account increased market share of light trucks and other lower mpg vehicles. 23.1 in 1980 and 25.2 in 2005.

Got it!
Grain Belt in a can...nasty.
And a Cubs cap, too. The pot's right.
