25. Holy shit
And I don't even what to fill up my other car (a rebuilt restoration that uses high-octane gas).

Are we not pissed? Where is the breaking point?

Gas stations aren't making out. They probably make the same nickle per gallon they always did.

In some ways, it's not even gas. I live in New England. I drive to work, a 90 mile round trip that is about $10 a day. No raises for me to compensate.

We heat with oil - very cost effective, traditionally, but a tank is 275 gallons. It lasts you 3 or so weeks in the winter. Nowadays it's $1200 to fill that sucker up. That blowis away whatever we spend on gas on our car.

Who do we complain to? I fear there's no one.
