More on (moron) gas prices
I made a previous post about gas prices going up towards $2.50/gallon. So, since that post prices have gone up more. So the news sent a team out to see the man on the street. They interview some guy, "This is Bill from Cleveland - Bill is only getting $5 worth of gas - because it is all he can afford." So they cut to the guy filling his tank - he makes some comment about how expensive gas is getting and I shit-you-not he has a carton of cigarettes in one hand and a coffee mug in the other. Well.... that looks like about $20 worth of crap you probably could forgo shithead.
My gripe isn't with gas prices its with the actual price. Let me clarify. I don't mind paying $2.29/gallon for gas. I DO mind paying $2.299/gallon. What the fuck is that? Pennies are stupid and useless - but fractions of pennies? That is total bullshit. I think all of the stations need to band together and just agree to shit-can the fraction of a penny. They all do it and it annoys the shit out of me.

I just saw how some radio station around akron I think was selling 9.69 gallons of gas for 96.9 cents a gallon if you wanted to wait in a mile long line for it literally. The news guy walks up to some asspilot in a Jimmy and says
"so you waiting for the gas?"
and the guy goes "yeah I drove all the way from Cleveland"
then news guy "what?"
truck guy "yeah I drove 22 miles down here for the gas"
So I figured out that captain asswad drove 44 miles to save $11. But given that his shitwagon gets 11 miles per gallon that means he has to buy 4 gallons of the $2.29 a gallon stuff. So it ends up he totally saved $1.89 for his 3 hours. or roughly 63 cents an hour. not too shabby my friend.
not too shabby at all.

What sucks in NY (and probably in cleveland) is that the taxes are responsible for adding 20 cents to the price per gallon.

Yeah I don't like the fraction of a penny either. It confuses me. Plus it's always a 9. What's the point? Let's just round it up. And just so you know cartons of cigarettes are like $30-35. But hey at least they fuel your car-oh wait...
