Warning — Rant Level: *****
Jesus fucking Christ. I don't drive a gas-guzzling SUV or a muscle car. In fact, I don't drive any car at all. So I don't give a flying fuck what the price at the pump is. But they're giving it to me up the ass another way: I just bought a ticket from YUL-YVR-Osaka return and it cost me $1405.58. And that price only if I stayed for six days (which I don't want to do.) If I'd turned around within 6 days it would have jumped $700 to $2200 (all prices Canadian.)
As I'm looking at approximately four roundtrips to Japan and four roundtrips to San Francisco yearly (long story) one can quickly see that any $1 increase in oil prices is going to be hitting me rather hard.
All in an era where the planes are more crowded, they're offering no amenities and flying is basically a fucking drag. Hmm. I'll have to start sharpening up my Business Class wheedle a little more diligently.
Have you ever looked at a map of gas prices in the United Stated based on county? Have you compared it to the results shown on a map showing the winning presidential candidate by county?
