I just got back from an errand and getting gas for my Explorer Sport Trac. I had to blog about this.
I filled my gas tank up with 21 gallons worth of gas.
I only paid $35.00
Just a few months ago, 21 gallons of gas would've cost me...
are you ready for this....
$ 95.00 !!!
Now check this out....
I read in the paper today that NC State wants to charge motorists by the mile.
They will either track our driving by a GPS system or by keeping track of our mileage at inspection time.
They state that since the gas crisis, people are driving less, even with the drop in gas prices, and they have to make up the money somehow.
This reminds me of this past year while we were in a serious drought condition. The state asked us to conserve water, and they instructed us on when we could use water for non-household purposes (ex. lawn watering). I would assume the majority of citizens followed instructions.
So what did we get for our obedience?...an increase in water charges! They said that since we were using less water, they had to raise the price.
again... 
All I can do is shake my head and shrug my shoulders.
This is definitely an example of the old saying, "you can't win for trying".
