Hmmm... Gas goes up to 5 bucks a gallon. It’s at a buck seventy five now. So for my 16 gallon tank that would be an addition 52 dollars a week for gas. Given that I will be getting a wopping 13 bucks a week back that would be I am into the government for 39 bucks a week or 2,000 a year.

And that is before universal health care raises my rates as well as the tax cut expiring.

Yeah... I guess I am not part of th 95% who will get a tax break.

I got a Chinese scoot that gets 70+ mpg that I ride when the gas price is over 2.50. It is not a pleasant alternative but at $5 a gallon I can’t justify going to work in my 26 mpg carat all.
