Really? We're involved in Libya with the coalition, gas prices are through the roof, unemployment is still not under control, we're adding retail jobs but not any high paying wages.
Every time there is an increase in the cost of gasoline my inbox and Facebook become flooded with people inviting me to boycott buying gas on a certain day. Most people do this based on an emotional reaction and rarely think if it’ll actually have an impact, let alone a negative one.
Just when I heard hope of gas prices going down, word on the street is that the havoc that's broken loose in Egypt, could cause the price of gas to go even higher.
I stopped and pumped $30 worth of regular unleaded on my way to work this morning. 3 months ago I got three quarters of a tank for that. With the prices at $3.30 a gallon where I get my gas, that barely puts me over a half tank now.
The other night I got very nervous on my way to a work function that I was going to run out of gas. I had not budgeted myself enough time to get ready and get gas before the party (typical of my poor management in time) and therefore, filling my tank did not take precedence.
