Gas prices .........
.
Forget about whining about $2 per gallon of gas .........
.
not in a country when so many people will pop down 1.25 for a 16 ounce bottle of water........

Yes - it will cost me approx $500 more to drive this year ......
.
My guess is that I use (approx) 1000 gallons of fuel per year .....
.
but even at $2.00 per gallon - compared to other parts of the world - gas is (relatively) cheap ..........
.
and the impact is not significant enough to get me to ride a bicycle or a motorcycle to work ......... or purchase a hybrid vehicle ......
