I am annoyed with the price of gas, and I'm not
really ashamed of it. I think the reason it has
become such a big deal is simply because of
the sudden rise in cost. After all, it was just
99¢ last year. When you are used to paying
$10 to fill up your tank, and all of a sudden you
are paying $25 it can be quite a shocker. It's
not the actual price in comparison to other
countries, but the hike in price to what we are
used to here.

that's £3.42 already. At an estimated
exchange rate of one pound Sterling to 1.60
US dollars we are talking $5.47. and that's
just on average!
