No one is for higher gas prices...but alot of people ARE for seeing reality and seeing an end to all the incessant bitching. Everyone is probably paying $8-$10 dollars more per fill-up...without any change of driving habits or planning car trips more wisely. I know thats the case for me...I'm paying about $40-$43 per fill-up instead of $32-$35 per fill-up. I'm getting a little lighter on the pedal...and I'll try to plan car trips a little better now.
But...at any rate...BFD!
Say I usually fill up twice a month...in a year, that would come out to +-$240 [(2 fill-ups per month * 12)* say $10 more per fill-up]. If I have 2 cars...+-$480. People waste more than double that amount per year on nonsensical BS. Plus, the raping we all get from Social Security and income taxes is much worse. So quit yer bitching.

I have a sales job and I fill up 2-3 times per week and my wife and I are very careful what we buy. We are not materialistic.. we still use my parentst hand me down 1978 magnavox TV.
So I can bitch all I want especially when exxon made 9 billion profit last qtr alone.
We are being screwed by the oil companies.
