Man this junk is getting expensive, and keeps going up, with no indication as of why.
I can't understand it, the economy is crap, there are no jobs to be had, the value of a dollar keeps slipping, but this stuff keeps going up and up and up.
I dun get it.
Let me explain, but first, a little bitching.
Went to the gas station today with my Blazer, entered from the opposite direction than what I normally do. Put the noozle in, start pumping, and notice that I'm only at 10 gallons, while the price is at $35.00. WTH?
Dumbie me put the Premium noozle in instead of regular. Difference is $3.28 compared to $3.06. DOH! I'll never enter the station from that direction again.
Now, as for our economy being craptastic, that's why prices are so high.
Investors/feculators (mainly foriegn) are driving the prices up, because the American dollar (stock market/bonds/real estate, etc) is weak right now.
