I was griping about it to my old man the other day and his years of age and wisdom helped me to see things in a little better light.
Gas is $2.00 a GALLON.
Think about it.
First, someone has to find the oil. Then they have to get it out of the ground. Then they have to transport it to a refinery. The oil is refined many times to get the end result of gasoline. It is then passed through countless wholesellers, transported to the local dealer, and utlimately ends up in our tanks.
I told him it was still out of control.
He then proceeded to pick up a 2 LITER bottle of Pepsi from behind the kitchen door and said, " You see this hear, it is nothing more than sugar and water, yet it costs over a dollar for 2 LITERS!!! And all you can do is drink it."
Lesson learned.
But I'll still piss and moan about it, especially with a 30 gallon tank in the truck.
