HOW much for a gallon of gas?!!! posted by Beasty on Monday, June 26, 2000, at 02:36:21:
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.
