Because Antubert got me thinking about the economy ...

Sorry for the woefully inadequate posting. Some work obligations have put me on the road recently and I've barely had time to catch my breath.

On The Live Test Show tonight, Antubert and Freek are talking about the economy, and that got me thinking a little.

Just last Saturday, I had to go fill up the Satellite of Love. I pulled into the ghetto mart, and noticed that the price per gallon was $3.46. This amazed B-Dub, who in Tennessee never paid that much per gallon.

Grand total for that stop? FIFTY SIX FREAKING DOLLARS.

I clearly remember paying 99 cents per gallon back when I was in college at WVU during the summer of 1999.

I know, I know, Grandma. Tell us how it was in the old day.

So, I found this site that has gas prices for everywhere across the country. It's pretty interesting to see what people are paying in different states.

I noticed I'm getting F-ed in the A.

I'm not so much interested in the why ... On any given day you can find 500 theories (some cracked, some legit) on why the prices are what they are. I just know that they are what they are. I can't do anything about it.

So, continue to hurt me ... What are you paying?

In Pompano Beach I pay $3.29 a gallon, but that is the cheapest around. Right across the street from that gas station is another one at $3.35 a gallon. Over the weekend in Miami I paid I think $3.43. Gotta stay outta there.

Lord. Miami. Miami has cheaper prices than me. I went to get the vat of diet Mountain Dew this morning and noticed it was still $3.48.

It hurts to sit.
