Wow!

Now there's a shocker.  What gets me about the whole thing is located right
in this city I live in.  Our rush hour traffic lasts all day long and into
the night and some people still tool around as though the price of gas was
29 cents a gallon.  And then there are those with the SUVs and over-sized
trucks that get about 8 miles per gallon.  As long as there isn't a gas
shortage, I think the public will be insanely happy to pay whatever the
price is.  It's sort of a Xanadu for them.

That makes sense if you think about it.  I noticed last night, when passing
the Shell station I get my gas, the price had risen 10 cents a gallon and
that came after I filled up a couple of days before.  Luckily, I get 17-19
MPG in the city and over 30 on the highway, depending on the direction of
the wind, if I'm going uphill  and if the A/C is running.

Here, the price varies all over the place and that's why we have to look on
the Internet for the cheapest place to buy gas before we even start the
engine.  It can be 12 miles away or 12 blocks away, but doing the foregoing
saves time and money.
