#1 While some phonies in the nationâs capital pretend to be panicked about gas prices,

I love obscure Kerry references, don't you?

#3 Just in the spirit of ~~pissing off some people~~ brotherhood, I'd like to report that I paid $1.79 at Sheetz the other day when I filled up. I think it's since gone up to $1.85.

#5 I paid over $5/gallon the other day. But, that was for race gas at the track.

I did pay $2.49/gal for premium at a station after leaving the track last Friday. This was in Kent, WA.

It's high, but It's not impacting how much I drive, race, or spend on anything else.

#6 Precisely, spiffo. Much as the hand-wringing news media would like the opposite.

#7 It's $2.50US/gal regular in Toronto Canada. BTW, up here, prices fluctuate about +/- 9 cents, sometimes on the same day. That's what pisses me off the most. One morning I was driving to work and out of sheer laziness I decided to fill up later that day. I remember thinking, even if it did increase, it would only do so by maybe 5 cents at the most. Coming back that same afternoon, the price went up 11 cents. F*cking bastards.

#8 In Germany you are looking at about $5.40 a gallon... (â¬1.20 a liter)...
