I have complete plans for driving around aimlessly this Thanksgiving break, just because gas prices are so low.

You might as well start your own pipe line from there, who knows maybe it will save you money some day. : ) Man, I live in California and I remember when the gas was about $4.58 or even $5.23. But then suddenly they dropped.
Seriously people how can you fight a war on terrorism with all of your borders wide open!

It's not that we're complaining about the price. We complained about the SUPER HYPER FAST INCREASE in price. Our gas prices tripled. Families budgeted based on the old prices. We all took jobs of varying commutes, put our kids in schools of varying distances, made intelligent, thought-out decisions all under the notion that our annual transportation cost wouldn't triple. The sudden price increases completely obliterated those plans.
Suddenly, for a lot of people, it became more expensive to drive to work than you would make in a day.
Last year I had a job that had me driving 150 miles every day. I was spending $800 a month on gas. That's more than my car payment was at the time. Almost more than my HOUSE PAYMENT was at the time. And of course I couldn't sell the house and move closer because the HOUSING MARKET was way down.
I had to leave the job. And it really was a GREAT JOB, I was the program director (big boss) of a radio station. I made all the decisions about the music, DJ's, promotions, everything... It was MY station. And I had to give it all up, all because gas prices rose so unexpectedly.
So again, it's not the PRICE, it's the fact that the rug was pulled out from under us after our lives were already planned.
Y'know when you're about to buy a mammy and suddenly some fux0r takes out your pp? All of a sudden you've gotta pony up 3k for a tank that's just gonna get picked off by rav's and stanks in like 30 seconds. THAT'S what we're complaining about.
