That seriously sucks that they'll milk you that much for fuel. Ive read that freight truckers are stopping shipments because they cant break even due to fuel prices. Whats next? Higher prices for everything and fuel nearing $2 a gallon everywhere.

Rant 1:

I guess thats what you californians get for wanting these suueeky clean fuels, and doing it without using biofuels at least as a 20% additive.

Rant 2:

I cant say what the prices will be, but I do forsee that the "lets show off how big and expensive an SUV we drive" people will experience a "lets see how much money we can loose because people are selling SUVs for pennies on the dollar because they guzzle too much $3 a gallon fuel". Sucks for them, but thats what they get for showing off anyway. You need to carry people and cargo, get a minivan, not a suburban or expedition. Want to be a forest ranger? Then get an SUV. Guess what, you dont need it to get to the mall and supermarket.
