I bought enough gas to drive to Miami, but I pissed it away so fast.

Now that you mention it, i think you're right about fin & sawbuck. Thanks for straightening that out!

I Googled it.

And we all know that everything we read on the internet is true.

Shit!

Down another penny today.

That brings my losses on this tank to 26.8 cents.

Today it's at $2.72.

Down four cents since I filled up!

That means I have lost 53.6 cents!

I'm really taking a beating in this market.

I run no less than mid-grade in both of my vehicles, per manufacturer recommendation. Today, I paid $3.19/ gallon.

I don't care what the reason is, I'm just enjoying the savings.

$3.49 for regular here in good old New York. Gotta support our corrupt state with that hefty gas tax. King Andy needs a new sceptor after he gets reelected by the city next month.

You could move down here to Alabummer.

Gas is about 70 cents a gallon less in this Red State Teabagger paradise.

But you'll pay 10% sales tax on all your groceries which will negate all your savings on gas several times over.
