EXACTLY. I'm glad somebody around here gets it. We attacked Iraq for oil and it ended up costing me $80 to fill up my tank (over $4/gal).

And if you think what you pay is bad I suggest you move to Europe where you'd pay double or even triple what you are now.

I'm not sure of the conversion rate between $/gal and Euros/L, but it seems that everyone is getting shorted here, some much more than others. But I can't find it in myself to complain of gas prices when other people around the world don't have clean water or shoes on their feet. It saddens me that the nations with the largest supplies of crude oil (one of the most profitable commodities on earth), seem to have the lowest standards of living and the least human rights and freedoms.
