I need to start riding my bike more =/

Since I bought my truck back in January I had not filled it up fully. A couple weeks ago I let the thing fill up. The gas station I was at automatically stops the pump at $100. My truck wasn't full all the way but I was shocked to finally hit the $100 mark for filling a vehicle, and yes, I did think wow, I could have bought so many fishing things with that same $100.

$90 - I wish I could spend $90 a week on fuel. My weekly fuel bill typically is $160! If I dont have any shoots to go to on the weekends I get to only put $120 of Diesel in the tank...
The drive to the beach is only 5 minutes, so I guess I have the argument that I actually save money by fishing on the weekends!

I can buy a PA every time I have to pay the rent

and the most sad part of it, or TAX MONEY, goes to Israel and mid east war

My all wheel drive Ridgeline truck only gets used for kayak fishing .
All other times, I drive Toyota Camry to save gas.

Jeezus! We could name hundreds of things that our tax money goes to that never seem to pan out. Dept. of Education, Nat'l. Endowment of the Arts, Needle Exchange Programs, etc...

Gonna get completely roasted on this I am sure, but do you know what those big, greedy, evil, capitalist pig oil companies make per gallon of gas?

5 fuckin cents!

Do you know how much the state and federal gov't gets?

45 cents!

So, who's really the ones screwin' you?

I didn't make this shit up, but facts are facts, and numbers are numbers, and neither one of them lie. These numbers have absolutely nothing to do with politics, they just are what they are.

Alright, I'll get off my soapbox now!

The 45 cents was just a national average that I remembered from a couple of years ago. It's comforting to know that the average has gone up, though.

kinda makes you want to puke doesn't it...and I disagree, it is all political...the oil companies and wall street speculators own the government, they just don't want you to know about it

And an all taxpayer paid awards ceremony for said video in vegas!

Taxpayer gas: $4.00=

Fed Employee: $0.00+ Gov vehicle+awards ceremony/vacation+per diem+regular pay=

Federal employees.....God bless'em!

They are truly gods people!
