Highway Robbery

So, filling up my Volvo last night set me back to the tune of $38.00.

Yeah. $38 American.

And it wasn't like I had a choice because the gas light was on.

I took 16.245 gallons. And paid $38.00 for the privilege.

For you math geniuses out there, yeah, I paid $2.39 a gallon for mid-grade unleaded gasoline for my car.

On what planet is this right?

The equivalent amount of unleaded here in the UK would be an astonishing $89.043 !!!

So don't feel too bad about it.

I had a small stroke when I paid $2.27 at the pump today. WTF? I remember when gas was .64 cents. am I "dating" myself or what?
