Ouch!
Coming home from work tonight, I almost choked on my drink when I saw the price of premium hit $4.01! 
It was at $3.85 when I filled up two days ago. I have a feelling that I will be paying close to $60 to fill my vette next time.
I remember when premium was at .99 20 years ago. I wonder how much you guys are paying for premium in other parts of the country.

"I voluntarily took 60 days off from OT"
Two years ago they got us used to $2 a gallon....last year they got us used to $3 a gallon...This year we'll get used to $4 and next year FIVE
....Sooner or later we'll be paying what the rest of the world has been paying for years.......
Thing is, we suck it up and pay it....but there are MANY, MANY people out there that simply cant afford it...They have to make a choice.... put gas in their tanks or feed their kids....Many MUST drive to earn an income...
Id like to know how many of you have gotten pay raises that keep pace with the rising cost of gasoline....I know I certainly havent...
Im also waiting for the day the trucking industry tells America to F*CK OFF and leaves their rigs parked at truck stops!!!

Pollitical correctness is why we pay so much for gas! If we drilled and refined our own crude oil gas would be cheap again but we are to upset that we might hurt a Carabu in the Alaska outback or disturb a field mouse somewhere that we are at the mercy of a bunch of AMERICAN HATEING towlheads! As far as "paying what the rest of the world pays for gas", I dont care what the rest of them do! Remember this, our spanish speaking friends to our immediate south live in cardboard boxes and drink polluted water in their nations capitol! Do we want that for ourselves just because they do? "Hell", they ride goats or donkeys while we drive Corvettes! I'll keep on being an American thank you!
