Default Re: Its Nostalgia Week at Oprano!

BTW- I just want to vent.. it took me $40 fucking bucks to fill up my car with gas yesterday!

Gas prices are out of fucking control. I'd post the whole story but it's two pages long.

The Biggest Jump at the Pump
18-Cent Weekly Hike Sets 15-Year Record

Motorists pulling up to the pump at the Cardinal Plaza Shell station in Springfield got a price shock several times last week. On Tuesday, the station owner bumped the price of a gallon of regular up 3 cents; on Wednesday, he nudged it 4 more cents. On Friday, he got bolder: His price jumped 23 cents.

The steady increases in Springfield -- and across the nation -- pushed up the average price of a gallon of gas by 18 cents in the past week, the biggest one-week jump since the Energy Department began compiling the data 15 years ago. The average national price of a gallon of regular was $2.55 yesterday, up 36 percent over a year ago.
