    No. America is no longer paradise. Too many illegal aliens, open borders, and creepy people/terrorists.

    Gas up to $4.79 in some places in CA. This sucks. I don't really notice it since it goes on the card and gets paid off every month, but watching the numbers go up up up is getting very old.

    Thank Vishnu for Fuel Perks, which is a program that our local grocery chain has gives us $.10 off per galon of gas for every $50 we spend on groceries. Since I do the shopping for my location and spend like $250 per week on groceries, I consistently save between $.50 - $.70 per galon of gas each week.

    Which isn't so bad considering that the taxes are used to finance a social welfare state.

    The gangsters in the Bush Adminimalstration are making a righteous killing. As are state and federal treasuries, who benefit from extremely high fuel excise taxes.

    Which are as a matter of fact not extremely high since they are much higher in Europe, which makes american tax levels on fuel moderately high.

    What happened to your precious pursuit of logic?

    Funny how Americans worry and complain about gas prices, yet the movie "Shrek" took in millions of dollars just last weekend alone. And that's not counting any other forms of entertainment that cost millions of dollars.

    So ...Americans willingly pay some $50 per gallon for Coke at the movies, yet bitch n' moan about $3.75 per gallon of gasoline?

    Perspective ...it's something that seems to have been misplaced. Anyone know where any of it might be found?

    i think that in todays society gasoline is relied upon enough not to be considered a luxury item.

    I agree Baron but I still get mad when I see the price going up and up. It's beyond ridiculous. And yes I have gas stocks and am making money on them but I still don't support the gouging by many stations.

    The oil companies know there's no future (or profit) in building more refinery capacity. I think that's what lies behind the price increases.

    Today I dropped $75 to fill up the Pathfinder.

    And cried.

    It's the usual thing. Every five days.

    I swore I'd never bitch about the price of gas, beause a year ago when I cruzed off the lot with my new car I figured that, THAT was what I was getting into. But, for the first time today, I accepted the possibility that this love affair may well be over by the end of 2007 and that I might have to get a hybrid.

    Ugh...

    Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

    You're pulling definitions out of the place beneath your tail.

    Go find some vegan substitute for crow, boil it, and eat it until you get heartburn.

    This is an even bigger crock of sh!t than our ridiculous gas prices. The Green party wants Canadian drivers to pay an extra 12 cents a litre at the gas pumps as the price of averting environmental "catastrophe."
