It really is getting ridiculous. I'm lucky my new job is close to my house. At this point it's costing me $40+ to fill up a sedan with low grade fuel, and Georgia is one of the friendlier states in terms of gas prices.
Still can't believe how 10 years ago it was like $0.99 a gallon.

Also, having lived in western europe for most of my 20's, let me just say that we still have no ****ing clue what high gas prices truly are.
You can't compare the two. Their gas price is the same its the taxes on top of the gas prices that make the difference.

Sense we are going to move the wife gave me the nod to buy another boat to run around in which will burn less gas. She fell hook line and sinker for that one.

Europe imposes massive fuel taxes, some countries actually have several. Yes its extremely high, but their whole infrastructure and transportation network is a complete 180 from ours.
I do blame the government including the President. The oil lobby has such a grasp on our political system is a disgrace. Our enability to come up with a comprehensive energy strategy is flat out disgusting is a directly related to Big Oil and Big Government...on both sides of the aisle.

Exactly. I live a little less than 15 miles from my office, so it's usually like a 20 minute drive with traffic. If I were to take public transportation it would probably take over an hour with at least 7 stops/transfers.

So what your also saying is that the oil companies/oil lobby has a grasp on the whole world because I don't see Europe, China, Japan coming up with any other alternatives.
