    Default I can't afford my gasoline.

    A funny annimation

    And in the past week, I had a plumber tack on $10 to a $145 bill for a gas surcharge and Yellow freight tacked on $20 for a gas surcharge.

    A lot of people using the prices as excuses to gouge us....

    Enjoy.

    lol that's funny. The garbage company is charging me 5.25% of the bill to go towards gas. It's only about 3 dollars, but it's still dumb that they are raising their prices.

    That clip was funny,reminded me of my friends who have Hummers.On the other hand it's sad too,because the prices seem to climb higher almost every day.In europe the gas prices are still higher,but people don't usually drive long distances to and from work like they do here.

    If they get much higher, I won't be able to afford to go to Starbucks for my $5.00 mocha .

    I think it was a satirical statement based on the irony of people bitching about gas prices, but otherwise spend frivolously.

    Me...I make my lattes at home!

    I thin a gas surcharge on dances is hilarous! Sometimes when I'm collecting tips, I'll make a remark that I drive a SUV from the suburbs.,..but only to guys that are being cheap.

    Next time a custy ask exactly what does he get for $20 you'll have something to tell him, Don't forget to tell him your g-strings are taxed as a luxury.

    After the hurricaine hits the gulf of mexico it's gonna get a whole lot worse. I'm thinking $75/ barrel as soon as the markets open 2morrow (closed at $63 on Friday).

    There will be 1 million barrels a day missing from America's domestic oil supply because they had to close the refineries there.

    That's about how much extra I spend compared to last year. It's significant, but it's not going to ruin my retirement plans or anything!

    This popped up in one of the "similar threads" list, and I just had to check it out. Two years later, and th gas prices are still going higher!
    I remember when I would drive out of my way for gas that charged less than $2 a gallon. Now you can't find anything for less than $3 a gallon.

    Better a gas surcharge than a gas discharge...

    My old-timer voice beats Max. When I first started driving, I usually paid around 89 cents a gallon.

    I distinctly remember my mom getting furious when it went up to 95 cents. She actually yelled, "If it gets over a dollar a gallon, I'm gonna sell my car!"
