Well, it finally happened! Our local Chevron station (the one I almost always use) listed Premium Gas/Petrol at $4.02 per gallon!

For the last 2-3 weeks, it's been fluctuating between $3.91 and $3.97...but this morning a whopping $4.02/gallon.

But compared to Canada, Germany, UK, Australia, Norway ($8.00/gallon) we shouldn't bitch...but what makes me mad, is that in other countries with high fuel costs, the taxes on gas goes to public works/schools/healthcare...not in Fat Bastard's pocket.

On a positive note, maybe this will make American's realize they don't need a Surburban, Excursion or Hemi to go to Ralph's/Kroeger or the Piggly Wiggly! It will hurt families though on a very tight budget. Kinda does suck all the way around...unless you're a CEO/CFO for an oil company
