sfd143 Rookie Author Mississippi Posts:3 Points:18,125 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Apr 26, 2011 9:35:23 AM Ignore sfd143 Report Abuse With gas prices going up, up and up all the time. We all complain about the price of gas. Let's look at it in reality. If you see gas for $3.50 a gallon on Monday. Wednesday you see gas for $3.55 a gallon and start complaining about the price increase. Don't get me wrong, I do too. Look at in reality. You're paying a nickel more per gallon. If you have a 20 gallon tank and you fill up, you're only paying a dollar more at the most. We complain about a nickel price increase but yet we'll gladly give a begger a dollar on the street. Just my observation!
