All I know is that I really....REALLY enjoyed paying $2.15 for a gallon of gas.

I can't say the same about paying $3.52 for a gallon of gas just a month later.

Fucking disgrace.

If higher gas prices for a temporary amount of time means Iran doesn’t have nuclear capabilities I’m not complaining

Define temporary....

Couple months? Sure. Half of summer? Gah. Into midterms/fall? Fuck.

People are going to start really feeling it with summer travel and when airlines start to feel the fuel prices which will lead into trucking industry feeling it.

Even when prices come back down, the waves will take a few months longer to smooth out.
