The only ones these gas prices are really hurting are the lower income. Everyone else is merely inconvenienced .
If the ā??averageā? American were really hurting by the gas prices they would slow down that SUV a little bit. Driving 80 mph isn't conducive to saving gas.
They gripe about how much it costs to fill up that gas hog they own, and then peel out of the parking lot. Hellā?¦. Theres a gallon wasted right there.
The ā??averageā? American has sooooo much! Computers, iPods, cell phones, multiple vehicles, etc,etc,etc.
When the gas prices started rising the first thing I gave up was my daily Starbucks, next I downsized my cell phone. I slowed down when Iā??m driving. (Saves a tremendous amount of gas.), stopped going out to restaurants 3-4 times a week. And what do you know, those little changes saved me over $ 400.00 a month. More than enough for the increased gas bill.
So they want to destroy our coastland forever, f*ck up our delicate eco-system so we donā??t have to be inconvenienced or cut back on our lifestyle?
Its really a bad idea to put a band aid on a 30+ year old wound. When our children, and grandchildren, pull it off its gonna be oozing and infected!
Americans got greedy with cheap gas and now we think we deserve it.
Next time when you buy a vehicle maybe you should get it for the gas mileage, not how many cup holders it has.
