We can all agree 3 bucks a gallon is high by US standards for sure and like you when I fill my tank and watch the dial click over 40 dollars I shake my head. I was thinking though. Over four dollars for a beer, six bucks for a margarita, ten dollars for a glass of scotch, and fifteen for a glass of wine? I guess another thing we could look at is what else goes in our belly. FOOD; how much is too much? Notice the guy in the picture. He could easily stand to keep some of the money in his wallet out of his belly which in turn would leave a little extra for his tank. A step further is if he must continue chowing in the same fashion he could leave his car in the driveway and walk or ride a bike to get his fix. Now we are almost all happy. He would be healthier which in the long run eases pressure on our medical systems, he isn’t paying as much for fuel because he isn’t using as much, and he can still eat like a good ol American.
