A Road Diverged

As someone was so kind to point out (check the comments section) gas is NOT $1.79/gallon. Probably wishful thinking on my side. $2.79/gallon is, however, the cost of gas currently in my city. Sad, I never thought I’d think back to the days when gas being $1.79 was pleasant and cheap. When I first bought my car I could fill it up for $8.00. I spent less than $20.00/month on gas and now I’m over $40.00/month. For most, that’s really cheap and I agree, I’m lucky in that respect. But, when just comparing to my own costs over the years, it is rather sad. I find it interesting that no one is addressing this in the political world. After Katrina all we heard about was price gouging. But now…nothing…silence. Maybe they’re all getting paid off in Washington. Perhaps they don’t have to pay for their gas - perhaps it’s charged to us taxpayers. That wouldn’t surprise me in the least. I need to go fill up today, I’m not looking forward to it.
