I normally don't bitch about gas prices, but they're up to $3.15 here, and it's costing $40 to fill my HYUNDAI.
I know that our gas prices are nothing compared to Europe's. But, they've been that way for awhile, and it was a gradual hike. The cost of filling my gas tank has tripled in the last seven years, and has doubled just in the last 2-3. That's a major, major hit to the pocketbook. My cost of living raises and salary increases do nothing to counter the GENERAL rise in cost of living, let alone doubling a gas budget.
