So I go and fill up with my usual Mohawk 94 and the bill comes to sixty bucks. I am near tears but then my saving grace storms in...
This late 40's dude with an Escalade has just had a fill up that was at or near $150.00. And he is having a hissy-fit.
'I can't f-n believe this. Fifteen cents in one day.'
I console him with 'huh, I thought it was more like 20.'
He thinks for a moment, 'Well whatever this is f-n s-t gouging f-n b-ls-t. I use at least a tank a week going to work and day to day driving!'
The spirit of Mother Theresa speaks to me and tells me to say 'Damn man, thats like eight thousand dollars a year at least!'
A moment of silence as the hamster comes up to speed on the wheel. I can almost hear the pot boiling.
My soft side can't help but to try and calm him further, 'Wow. $150 eh? Man, I can fill all three of my little cars for that much.'
I thought it was time to go when the clerk at the store said 'Sir, did you know your credit card is expired?'
TODAY IS SUCKS-DAY FOR YOU BUCKO!

Oh well, I've been trying to walk more and drive less lately anyway. Guess this is just more motivation.
). It's been spiking up in Ottawa to 1.20 - 1.30!! And yet there are still morons who leave their car idling in the parking lot at the liquor store, as they run in to grab something...
