Gas Again
Yesterday I paid my first fifty dollar gas bill to fill up my piece of shit Saturn. Fifty dollars to fill up a four cylinder car? That’s fucking insane. Then again, gas prices jumped from $4.05 to $4.39 over night. Yeah gas is getting expensive. It’s getting crazy. I can’t imagine actually relying on a car to get to and from work these days. As a matter of fact I’m gonna get rid of mine again and go back to commuting with the BART and my skate board to and from work.
That’s not really what I’m writing about, even though it sucks, but rather mass transit. Not public transportation which is generally decent in cities, but traveling and places that don’t have it. In news of the obvious air line fees are sky rocketting. Yeah saw that coming with the price of jet fuel increasing and so many of them ending up in the red, plus charging extra just to travel with luggage. I mean come on, you go on vacation, you gotta take luggage right? Why doesn’t America have a valid alternative with high speed rail? Yeah I can get around the west coast decently, but it’s still slow but cheaper and uses less fossil fuels.
If we’d only get off our asses and go the European route on this. We would save energy, we would save fossil fuels and all in all it would be cheaper in the long run. Of course our energy policy has been so fucked up for so long that it’d be a miracle to even get something like this done today.
Now we come to another story that is absolutely assnine. People would rather cut other costs out of their lives than give up their 10 mile per gallon H2? Are you fucking kidding me? Vehicles like this are a major part of the god damn problem people. Auggie Mathis you are a fucking idiot for saying what you did in that article. You own how many of them? You spend how much on gas polluting our world? Then again this is in Texas. Makes perfect fucking sense.

How?
Cheers from Finland.
Currently $9.37 per gallon (1.571€/l)
About $150 to fill a tank, but still people seem to have money to afford it. Let see when the recession hits what will happen.
PS. I think the cars in Europe have better gas mileage, so the prices hurt as much.
