Gas... How high will it go???


I paid $25.00 to fill up my Mazda the other day. $25.00 damn dollars. And I'm scooting along in a little Protege! I would be living under a bridge right now if I was driving an SUV !!

Gas prices in Atlanta are averaging $2.59/gallon for regular unleaded, and $2.89/gallon for premium brands. But it could be worse ya'll. According to Liberty Post, gas prices are skyrocketing all over. Here are just a few prices around the world:

Netherlands $6.48/gallon
Moscow $2.19/gallon
London $5.79/gallon
Tokyo $4.24/gallon
Cuba $3.03/gallon


But that's not the worst of it. I was listening to the Classic Soul 102.5 Si-man (Baby!) show, and he mentioned some to the lowest gas prices...

Saudi Arabia $ 0.91/gallon
Kuwait $0.78/gallon
Iran $0.38/gallon

And here's the real kick in the head....Iraq $0.05/gallon

5 cents per gallon in Iraq...
Hmm...
What the heck is going on?? Now what is that all about???

    If not for the war, I would have to find work in Iraq until the gas prices go down. You see, I am one of the SUV drivers and it cost me 70 bucks to fill up the other day. Ouch!!!!

  3. Are you SERIOUS??!!!
    Five cents a gallon in Iraq?!
    From empty, it takes $40 - $45 to fill up my LITTLE JETTA. When I first got it, it was $25 to fill the tank. I'm sick!

    My Goodness!
    I must think twice about the distance I have to go. It took
    25.00 bucks for a 1/2 tank of Supreme and I went to the next county and it's back on empty.
    Looks like working just to pay for the gas!
