Gas Prices (and IDIOT drivers)

OK, as I see red and it is now costing over $30 to fill up the small gas tank of the Mustang with regular, I must vent about gas prices here!

I just hate to see the IDIOTS on the road today supporting the insane, should be illegal, ridiculous price of gasoline!

You idiots know who you are! The ones zooming past me in the right lane as I do the speed limit (or a teeny bit above), the ones who slam on the brakes from driving like this because you almost hit that other car in the right lane or did not notice you could not make it through the intersection before the light turned red.

Let's not forget the ones who, from a stop street or a red light push the pedal to the floor and zip off like a jack rabbit on steroids!

Don't you fools know you are playing right into the oil companies hands (and the hands of those sell the crude oil overseas?)

Don't you realize the amount of gas that could be saved by driving the speed limit, and not slaming on the gas pedal from a full stop but using gentle acceleration??

COME ON WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE ALREADY! So long as people continue to use the car for everything and drive like idiots when they could walk in some cases, or drive better and save gas, the people setting the price for a gallon of gas will not see any decrease in demand and will know they can get away with setting whatever prices they want! I have a Mustang for goodness sake and I do NOT drive like that!!

And finally, why is there 60 cents or MORE of taxes for a gallon when sales tax on other items is so much less???

Sorry hun but your gas prices are exceedingly cheap.

Places in the UK are paying over a pound a litre. Thats 1.88 dollars per lire to you.

as you guys have screwy gallons let me get a calculator. So, you have 3.78 litres to the gallon (We have 4.54 btw)

Our gas costs us (to buy the same amount of 1 us gallon as you)

$7.11

Yes, 7 dollars, 11 cents.

you guys have an easy life.

Hey, it's all relative to wher eyou live; here, gas is twice the price of what it was last year, and that's painful here....though I am not without sympathy for you....it is my budget that is suffering. What percentage increase have you seen since this time last year?
