Holy Cow, these gas prices are no joke!
I know there's been a 345,456,77.15 articles out there on this whole gas fiasco, but it wasn't until last night's fill up that it actually hit me...
These gas prices are ridiculous! I could have bought a used computer instead! (okay, so that's a little exaggeration...but great googly moogly just the same.)
Care to take a guess how much it cost me to fill up my SUV? And keep in mind, I have a Toyota Highlander which is quite respectable in it's class for consumption: $60.56 - for less than 16 gallons!
I know it's not the end of the world, some people are spending over $4.50/gallon. But it's just that i kinda blocked the whole gas thing out, and was doing SO good at not letting it get to me :( Needless to say, selling the car will be back on the consideration list again.
Wanna know the saddest part about this? The other day when i was going through my old planner (from back in the college days) i found a "receipts" pouch and took a stroll back memory lane. I nearly fell over at what i saw: Gas per gallon back then - $1.02.

I remember gas being $.98 on a trip back home from college (2002).
Yeah, it's just painful to fill up these days. And it's scary to see how quickly the cost keeps going up and up...
Makes me SO GLAD that I switched jobs six months ago for a shorter commute.
It really is getting ridiculous! I don't know how people are doing it with long commutes. Thankfully I drive a little Civic and only have to fill up twice a month.
Have a wonderful wedding!!! Congratulations!
If I could drive a scooter in the winter, I would get one!!!
We're at over $5/gallon here... It IS bad :-(
