the gas station should have full service greaseballs like the oldd days.. they come out, pump the fucking gas for you, clean the bird shit off your windshield with a squeegee, check your oil and tire pressure, too. do gas stations even have full service stations anymore? im not that old and i can remember full service gas pumpers filling my mom's tank when i was a child. and gas was less than $1 a gallon.
now you've got all the gas stations owned by fucking Sangi's and Apu's who stand behind 2 ft. plates of bullet proof glass and speak to you thru an intercomm system "i only have $50 in my register, please dont try to shoot me."
pathetic...

If gas was $3 a gallon.....nothing will change, the sheep will pay, and things will continue along the current path.

im just saying that filling up your tank now-a-days can cost you half a days pay, its a big ticket item...the shopping experience should be made a little more pleasant.
but in a way youre right, some soccer mom will glance up at the price on the pole in front of the station, curse under her breathe that the price per gallon is so high, and continue to fill up her Ford Expidition.
and another thing: if gas costs, say, $2.55 9/10ths, how come my total is never $24.60 3/10ths, how do you fraction off a penny?

And hummer/suburban sales are falling, so it is having an effect. Stupid GM lost a $1 billion investing into gas guzzlers while toyota et al. invested in hybrid tech.

lol, thats a good thing...there's a Hummer Dealership right near the office building i work in.
outside of it flys the BIGGEST FUCKING AMERICAN FLAG i honestly have ever seen. it really panders to all the "freedom fighting" americans out there.

I buy gas, Im no different. I drive a car and I love it, you have to pay to play. It dosent cost me $40 to fill up my tank though. I couldnt imagine spending that kind of cash on fuel and still driving a vehicle that was slow as shit.

There are a few stations around here that recently (in the past 6 months) started doing full service at no extra charge. Some of them already had it, but it was an extra $0.50-.60 per gallon.

used veggie oil, right?
i hear thats a great alternative to gas...but if a third of the country decided to go this route, would there be enough bio-diesel to go around?
i thought i read somewhere that bio-deisel recyclable but i cant remember if thats true...

I'm glad that my car gets 34 mpg city and I don't have to travel far for school, groceries, bars, pool halls, etc.
When gas is $5+ a gallon I'll be breakin out the bike.

Gas is expensive in the UK, Denmark and Norway because of government tax on it correct?
