It's happened. I can't believe it's actually happened. The talk about gas hitting the "4 Dollar Mark" has been going on for quite some time now, but in a futuristic sense just like spaceships and flying cars. But it's actually finally happened. I was on my way to work this morning when I spotted it, and I felt like rubbing my eyes a few times just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Thrifty Station in Fountain Valley read $4.25 for regular... Regular gas!--Not even the good gas that makes your car do all those wonderful things that I don't know about because I'm a cheap ass regular girl. No, for Premium they require a down payment and your first born son. I felt like a senior when I started reminiscing about the days when I first got my drivers license and gas was 99 cents. The Golden Days where I could fill up my gas tank for $15 and still have enough money left over to actually have a life. What is going to happen to all of us? Are we all going to be broke? Are we all going to leave our cars in the driveway and walk to work, even if it takes us five hours and we are ridden with filth and sweat by the time we get there? Should I move? Change jobs? Stage a protest?
I'm thinking I should come up with an alternative source for fuel. Any suggestions? Right now I've got some useless items on the list that don't do much good now, such as Decaf Coffee, Designer Impostor Perfumes, SPF 0 Tanning Oil, and Fruity Vodkas. Loan me your car so I can experiment.
