Well I found a site today to help all of you out there who seem to think that driving is a good thing. It is an overlay of Gas Buddy, which quotes current gas prices, onto Google Maps. Check out the site and use it to find your way to cheap gas prices Cheap Gas. Gas is at something like $65 dollars a barrel (remember when we worried about it breaking $50?) and there is no sign it will go down. At one station in Mass the ppg is $3.00! That is crazy.
What makes this even worse is that gas companies make there profit on a percentage of the cost so right now, when our need is the highest, they are making record levels of cash. They are rolling in it. Funny that this happens under Dumbya "Mr. War and Military Actions" watch. Thankfully, he's looking out for us by helping to provide further tax breaks for these companies in the recently passed Energy Bill pushed by him and his Republican congress. Hoorah! The only good news is that these prices are really cutting down on fuel consumption and seem to be killing off the years of the SUV. This is good.
