    Wowsers. So are they going to start giving Segways away on the Price is Right instead of cars?

    I think everyone knows what they are paying for gas. We don't need an article to tell us how bad it is. Hype like this has not helped the price of a gallon of gas.

    Right now our wholesale cost is around $3 per gallon, and we sell it today for $3.08. We aren't making much today.

    I'll start caring about people bitching about gas prices when they stop driving their soccer mom SUVs, their bro-mobile trucks, and their assorted souped up thing-a-ma-cars.

    In California? Nope. Public transportation in California is practically a waste of time.

    Yeah, the BART and VTA system in the Bay Area is pretty much useless. Same with the MUNI, SamTrans, and AC Transit bus systems.

    It's at a point where no matter what they do, they can't pry Bay Area residents away from cars because the system just doesn't work.

    Geez, you guys have been complaining about gas prices for years now.... In Sweden we pay roughly $3 per liter, and that's low compared to two years ago when we paid almost $4 per liter!
