What really amuses me is people who actually go "
wow! did you see that?" EVERY single year...
gas prices up 33% year over year.
i am not sure what stories you are referring to, but i think this is a *little* different...
in my world, this is "news":
cash (debit)
prices in Huntington Beach for unleaded are $4.33 - $4.37 according to gasbuddy.com a few seconds ago.
it's good to see that this amuses you because for a lot of people not so fortunate it has really changed their lives.
what the heck...
let them eat cake!
