How Come??
I wonder why gas and diesel prices have skyrocketed,but motor oil can still be had for a buck a quart??...you'd think since its all made from crude,ALL the products derived from it would go up in price too?
Anyway,last time I passed the gas station nearby was thursday--it was 2.79 for 87 unleaded,and 2.85 for diesel.(I bet its more today,since my sister sent me a 40 dollar gas card from Citgo!and now I have to find a Citgo station
).
I put in 5 bucks worth so I could make the 3 mile trip to the doctors office and get my prescription refilled--burned most of my 1.7 gallons sitting in a traffic jam,thanks to the state DPW --.
They have milked the cleanup job of that 2000 gallon tanker truck spill for 2 weeks now...shoul have taken only 2 days at most!--they have shut down the major interstate nearly every day,and no warning signs to warn drivers once they get on the road,they might sit there for hours!
--bad enough 2000 gallons were wasted,and poured on the ground--now they make us waste more sitting in traffic jams...many people ran out of gas,adding to the gridlock!
(I wish I'd drove by when that tanker was leaking!--I'd have put my blue tarp in my truck bed and filled er up!
--that would hold at least 300 gallons!..the truck driver tried using DUCT TAPE to seal the gash in the tank!
--we can put men on the moon,but we cant invent something to stop gas from leaking??
)...
I think its accurate to say we are headed for a bad depression soon if this keeps it much longer..people here are desparate,and crime is rising --people just don't have the money!...
Makes me sick the way they rape us on fuel and heating oil..what really frosts my arse is when they jack the price up 20 cents,and the same gas is in their thaks they paid much less for..now they can raise in "Anticipation" of supply disruptions from "Rita" and "Katrina"...wish I could raise my pay for doing my job in "Anticipation" of higher fuel bills..(if I HAD a job,that is..
)..
Thats the price I have to pay here in sweden.
