When I left for work this morning, regular unleaded was going for 3.85 a gallon. When I came home, regular unleaded was feeling a little deprived so it jumped to 4.09 a gallon.
Are you kidding me?
During the summer of 1987 I had a summer job delivering pizzas. After a long night driving all over the northern metro area, I stopped to fill up my tank. The price was .99 a gallon. For some reason I was musing about the future (yeah, I know, friggin' pepperoni), thinking "Boy, wouldn't it suck if gas was, like, $3.00 a gallon?" Then I tried to do the math, which I'm sure wasn't even close to being accurate at 2:00 a.m., but I knew it would be a lot.
Yeah.
Today I filled 'er up (had about a 1/5 of a tank left).
My pizza money flowed into my gas tank.

Hey, John--
If you want to trade and drive my HUGE TAHOE for awhile, you are welcome to it! ;) ($75 last time I filled up and that was at $3.89. Depressing....)

You should move closer to Canada...I've seen it still under $4.00!
