I was filling up my tank with premium from the Mobil station by my house for the very reasonable 3.79 a gallon and I couldn't help but hear the pratt next to me complain about the price of gasoline as he filled up his SL600 for a ride.
Sure crude will be $115 a barrel in the coming weeks and the nations average for gas is probably around $3.20 a gallon, but isn't that really cheap. Think about how much goes into getting that gas to you; expensive and dangerous drilling somewhere around the world, shipping it to a refining plant, and then shipping it halway across the globe again to a truck to deliver it to a location no doubt within a couple of miles of you.
After all this for a gallon of gas, the price to move you 20 or so miles in your own car for only a dollar more than the average rountrip metro ride for you dc folk, people complain regularly while gin continues to run me $80 dollars a gallon; and you really can't drive anywhere with a gallon of gin.
Fuck complaining about gasoline, complain about orange juice, Worcestershire Sauce, and extra virgin olive oil.
