Sick....and ice cold.
I usually wait until i'm low and then fill up my tank completely. I usually tank about 11.7 gallons.

Gas here shot up $0.30, to $3/gallon in the last 2 days. All reports point towards that going up to $4/gallon. That's a total difference, just because of this event, of $1.30. THAT'S INSANE.

Also, the difference in price means that, with the extra $1.30/gallon, it will cost an additional $15.21. That is a lot of extra money that, as SecretMethod70 pointed out, has many, many better uses than going towards gas.

So, yeah, I'm pissed gas prices are skyrocketing. I'm also sad that so many people's lives are fuxored. But you know what else? Most gas stations in the area were OUT OF GAS...

In central florida, the shortage is so bad that they're expecting to have to suspend school bus service after labor day (the 5th) until the supply of diesel is restored. This will horribly inconvenience everyone with kids- and also those who have to drive around with all those extra cars on the road. This will make for mad drivers, and more drivers, which will increase accidents. They are reporting having to shut down airports because of lack of jet fuel and other fuels needed to run things.

By the way... not for nothing, but I searched and didn't see a single post- not one- in all of the very many threads about the tsunamis that hit over in Asia from you. You were active in the forums they were in, but didn't post once in any of the tsunami threads. I'm not saying that because you chose to post in practically all the hurricane threads that you had to post in the tsunami threads... but a shitload more people's lives were ruined and taken away by that disaster than hurricane Katrina.

I'm just curious, and I bring it up, since apparently you're calling us all cold and sick. You know, since that's not a nice or fair thing to say, I figured I'd extend my curiosity on your total lack of voice for the tsunami victims and see why you didn't care about that.
