Rather than complain every week when gas goes up another 15 cents, do something about it. Buy a motorcycle, ride a bike. Exxon isn't holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy gas. Now, don't go off saying I don't know how bad it hurts to fill up a big tank. I have a pickup that currently costs $110 to fill from empty, a cherry picker that costs about $90, and a crane that costs about $150. I know it hurts, but I adjust my driving habits to maximize my fill-ups. Certain vehicles stay parked most of the time, only to be used when absolutely necessary.

Long story short: stop complaining and do something to change your situation if you don't like it now. It's only going to get worse.



Your argument makes NO sense. 1) I'm slave to gas because that's the technology that I/We depend on to get around. I already buy less of it as is. 2) I OWN and ride a motorcycle already see sig. 3)Stop assuming. 4) My cars are fuel efficient.
