as of late, there have been numerous complaints as to the painfully high gas prices throughout the US. i will agree that an $.80 rise in price overnight seems a bit excessive. "Holy shit, it cost me 75 bucks to fill up the 600 sq. ft. apartment i call an SUV! how can this be?"
first of all, though you may cry "this is America" at what i am about to say, you have no business driving that monsterous piece of shit around in the first place. its a "utility" vehicle! what the hell are you hauling, you consumer-whore you? your admittedly-spoiled, highly obese children? You and your fat-cat yuppy hubby and Norman Rockwell AKC doggy that is so "well-bred" that its mom was its sister? groceries? what ever happened to a station wagon? dodge makes that Magnum kick-ass station wagon. gone are the days of the Griswald-mobile...you have no excuse!
secondly, i know that at some point, there was a commercial break between the OC and Laguna Beach and you noticed something about some bad weather in Louisiana. sure sure, maybe its all a plot to make you think that gas is now somehow rare and that we need to pay more. maybe george bush created the hurricane with his Dr. Evil Weather Dominator. whatever. the point is that people are far worse off than you are having to lay out 10 bucks more at the pumps. fill up and shut up and wait for it all to blow over. crisis is not an American car company and its not a religious figure. let it go.

I drove all the way to chattanooga doing 65 mph this weekend. I probably saved 6 bucks in gas and it cost me 10-15 minutes. Way I figure it, if someone came up to you and said, "Hey, I got six bucks if you sit in your car for 15 minutes," who wouldn't?
I agree with your post. People should either do something to mitigate rising gas costs by driving slower, more efficiently, carpooling, etc.; or shut up and deal with the fact that you purhcased some huges SUV as a status symbol to make up for the little one you keep in your jeans.
