Oww...I had a painful encounter with a highway robber the other day. I took two five-gallon gas cans to the station to buy gas for the mower and chainsaw and nearly fainted at the cost of the ten gallons of gasoline--$53!!!

I live in northern Ontario and our gasoline is always higher than it is in the States, but this is outrageously high. There's very limited public transportation up here. I don't know how people here are going to be able to afford to get around or afford goods that must be transported here. It's scary.

I recall that some people used to argue that gasoline is still cheaper per gallon than milk, but they can't say that now. At least not where I live.

So I laughed at the sketch, but ruefully.

Gingembre,
WV is one of the 11 states where gas is over 4 buck a gallon and we are one of the poorest states. We have to travel everywhere as it is very rural. I really don't know what ppl are going to do. It's horrible.

We are witnessing a dramatic change in lifestyle. I feel it is only the beginning.

I for one would welcome a good reliable system of public transportation like they have in european countries. They have been fighting high gas prices for years and they refined their public transportation into a reliable effiicient system. Why aren't the powers at hand setting up a system for we the people? The powers at hand are not really affected by the high cost of gas and heating fuel. It is we the people who support this system. If they want more money they just dig deeper into our pockets, we the people have nobodys pockets to dig into when we need more money! "I FEAR WE AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET"

That is the sketch of someone who commits highway robbery.
