I think the real piss off is that in Canada we produce more oil than we use, yet our prices still depend on possible war on Iraq. Stupid global economy ![]()

Thank god for Toyota Corollas that get 30+ mpg. It's at times like this that I'm glad I don't have a sports car or SUV...

Ok, I'll solve this one myself. Here's the adjust gas prices from Iowa (1980-1995) ![]() In other words, in 1995, we were paying about half of what we were 15 years ago (it's probably about 40% higher now but still below what we were paying) - and people are complaining????. In California, it is a little more extreme with current prices approaching early 1980s level, not because of the gas prices themselves but because of the extraordinary taxes they put on each gallon of gas.

I'm glad I live her instead of Canadia (you know, the 51st state). When I traveled through there a couple of years ago, I made the foolish mistake of filling up in Windsor instead of Detroit (then again, there was the whole stopping at a gas station in Detroit at about 1AM issue so I just think of it as Mounty Protection Money) and it cost something like 50c more per gallon. Then again, places like Germany charge $5 a gallon so we're even luckier still. SI

Whenever I am bothered by high gas prices, I think about how much all the SUV-lovin' folks must be paying, and it makes me smile again.
