$4.00 / Gallon gasoline. Everyone happy?

Its what the liberal wacko enviromentalist including Al Gore wanted.

What do you suggest?

Drive less

Saw a spot on CNN or Fox last night on these new enviromentally friendly buses that California is mandating the use of.
The old buses cost $1.16 per mile to run. The new buses cost $56
per mile to run.

Saw that there is a newly discovered MASSIVE oil reserve in the Dakota's that is bigger than any reserve in Saudi Arabia. We can start by drilling for our own freekin' oil.

Drill for our own oil. Ha good one.

I quit my job last July, moved to Colorado and now consult out of the house. Most clients require one initial meeting and then mostly email communication and phone. Ride my bike, run or walk whenever I can. Now that the warm weather is here my girlfriend and I ride out bikes to her job abut 13 miles each way as my T/Th morning workout. Drive her to/from the bus stop in town on M,W & F on my way to my morning training trail run.

Considering buying an electric scooter for short errands.

Some major life changes but it is a better way of life. Set my own schedule, salary, and vacation time.

I charge more.

This has put a hurt on our vacation plans. We are flying to Colorado out of Philly since it is $75 cheaper per ticket (x4) but still almost $100 more a ticket than we are used to paying. Rental cars are more expensive as well.

Kind of a bummer, but we will still have lots of fun.

Where's all that free stuff we're supposed to be getting from Iraq?

How nice do you smell after you ride your bike to work?
We used to have an executive shower that the higher ups could use. There was also an expensive health club adjacent to our facility that people joined so that if they walked on a hot summer day their business suits (yes, people used to wear suits) wouldn't be all nasty. And yes, people did this before gas was $4/gallon. Parking was $120/month.

We have guys that ride bike to work or they go and work out at lunch time and then they come back without getting a shower. Amazingly most don't smell so they must load up on deoderant when they get back. The one guy used to hang his undies on a coat rack to dry in his office after working out. It was a lovely sight.

Think a gallon of petrol is expensive?
This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.
Diet Snapple 16 oz ?1.29 .. ?10.32 per gallon
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz ?1.19 .?9.52 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16 oz ?1.25 ...... ?10.00 per gallon
Brake Fluid 12 oz ?3.15 ...... ?33.60 per gallon
Vick's Nyquil 6 oz E8.35 ... ?178.13 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4 oz ?3.85 . ?123.20 per gallon
Tippex 7 oz ?1.39 ....... . ?5.42 per gallon
And this is the REAL KICKER...
Evian water 9 oz ?1.49..?21.19 per gallon! ?21.19 for WATER and the buyers don't even know the source
(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)
You don't even want to compare it with perfume or after shave.
Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?
So they have you hooked for the ink.
Someone calculated the cost of the ink at................
(you won't believe it....but it is true........)
?5,200 a gal.. (five thousand two hundred pounds)
So, the next time you're at the pump,be glad your car doesn't run on water, or Tippex, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or God forbid, Printer Ink!
Just a little humour to help ease the pain of your next trip to the petrol pump...

Okay but what about this ??????

Print ink:

$1080.44 for one liter..


Talk about the black gold

Why are you still printing stuff out? Save it on a HD as memory is inexpensive.

Damn. I thought high-gloss paint was bad.

A decent pint costs over $5.00 and there is no such thing as having one.

8 pints = 1 gallon ($40/gallon)
