What The Fudge? Gas More Expensive Than Diamonds?!

No, not really, but damn close. Last week when I filled up my truck, the price was $2.30/gal. which was really high compared to a few weeks before that. Today (yes, about 7 days later) I pulled up to the pump and could do nothing but sneer in disgust after looking at the pump, reading the gas price at $2.60/gal. A 30-cent increase in about a week, now that's just disgusting. It costs me about $3 more to fill up my tank this week than it did last week, and that's for a small gas tank. I have about the smallest gas tank you can get on a vehicle - about 11 gallons, and I stopped when the stupid pump hit $30, and it wasn't even full! I remember just 2 years ago being able to fill up my car for less than $20 ... in Florida ... where the gas prices are even higher than here in Georgia. All I can say is I hurt for those of you who opted for SUVs, I can only guess you're hitting about $80-100 per fill up. You know what, I'm sick of it, and sadly, there's nothing I can do except say this: Boo hiss to all you idiots in charge. Yes, that's right, idiots. GM, hurry up with your fuel-cell cars so I don't have to walk around angry anymore - this is just getting stupid. Anyway, this will probably be old by the time anyone reads it, but here is a graph: http://www.georgiagasprices.com/retail_price_chart.aspx Check out the pattern over the course of a year. Yeah, I know - ugh. Just ugh, and stupid, and I might be acting like a big baby and complaining, but I don't care.
