Ok...I know everyone's read the headlines or heard all the news. Gas prices going through the roof. I live in Ohio, so I know we don't have it as bad as other people in the country, but let me tell you something I've noticed. The day before yesterday I get up and go to work (5:30AM EST). Gas is at $2.65/gal. I get done with work and come home (2:30PM EST). Gas is at $2.90/gal. A $.25 price hike in a day! Yesterday the same thing repeats! $2.65/gal in the morning, $2.90/gal in the afternoon! What the hell?! Why the gouging? I remember when (and this is not too long ago) when gas prices changed on the order of a couple of cents a day.
Sorry. I know you've heard this rant before and have it yourself. I spent $40 on gas to fill the piddley little Ford Ranger I have. My only saving grace is that it's pretty good on the mileage and I only drive it to and fro work. Just annoyed, that's all.
Wish I could have spent that $40 on Top Spin 2 or maybe some MS Points to gear up for Street Fighter 2 from XBLA.
E3 is coming up, of course. I have that week off from work. I was originally planning on going, but that fell through. Don't really know what I'll be doing for the whole week. Probably just relax and play Oblivion (still has its meathooks in me). Anywho, thanks for reading people or person.

That seems a lot...however i don't drive so to be completely honest...I've never really worried about fuel costs
I know it sucks though, running a car now (here anyway) is darn expensive, thats one reason i don't drive

Well, Angel. In the US, it's almost a necessity that you drive. We don't have a very good mass transit system.
