Of all of the reminders that the price of gas is crazy fucking expensive, none have hit me harder than this one. Today I went to get gas and whoever used the pump before me bought $5 worth of gas…

… and got 1.077 gallons for their troubles. That just ain’t right.
Who among us hasn’t put $5 in the tank to keep it on the road until payday, or given a friend $5 for gas after driving you to the airport? If I offered a friend that much for gas today they’d ask me if I was joking or if I lost my job because that much gas won’t even get you across town and back. Plus, the knowledge that $5 could maybe get me to work and back hurt more than the fact that I paid ten times that amount to fill my tank.
These are sad days.

It is sad.
I feel like a grandma when I tell people that I can remember when gas used to be $0.95 a gallon and $20 worth of gas would last me two weeks. :unsure:

A gallon costs me about £5.70 ... $11.40. Be grateful.
Edit, I just remembered US gallons are different to British gallons...
UK gallon: 4.546 litres, £5.90, $11.80
US gallon: 3.785 litres, £4.92, $9.84

We pay about 1.35/L. The upside to all this is that it's forcing people to consider more environmentally sound vehicles.
