Everybody is pissing and moaning about the price of gas, but yet the same people will drive 40 extra miles just for an ice cream cone. Nobody bitches about the cost of insurance, or the fact that the state charges sales tax on USED cars, and personal property tax on top of that.
If you drive to work every day, and the cost of fuel is hurting you.....then tell your employer that you need a raise to compensate for it. Just keep in mind that the recreational unnecessary (stupid, for no good reason) driving that you do....is on YOU.
No matter how expensive a gallon of gas gets.....the roads are ALWAYS clogged up with people going wherever for whatever. But then they complain about it. 🙄
