Random Gasoline Rants
With gas prices the way they are now, going to a gas station is comparable to visiting a house of prostitution. (Because I try to keep this blog at a PG-rated content level, I'll let you use your imagination to figure out what I mean here).
I now make a practice of bending over and grabbing my ankles just before and immediately after filling up my gas tank!
Something really weird happened to me yesterday. You're not going to believe this, but I swear it is true -- I drove past a gas station and the prices were exactly the same as they were the previous time I drove by it! Honest!
The other day, I heard about this family that decided to give up their summer vacation and take the money they would have spent on the vacation and donate it to charity. They had planned to travel about 250 miles, round trip. How generous of them to donate what had to be a gift of at least $100,000!
Remember 1986? That year, gas prices dropped to as low as $0.79 a gallon where I live, before moving back up. This was after prices had risen above a dollar for the first time in the late 1970's. Remember 2001? After rising sharply early in the year, gas prices started falling in the spring and had hit a low of about $1.19 at some stations in my area by 9/11. Of course, the terrorist attacks ended that little party. If only I would have had a way of storing some of that cheap gas for use right about now!
