Amazingly cheap??! What!?
2 years ago I was paying $1.19 a gallon for regular!
These items you used for comparison do not hold our country a bay if prices increase. They do not determine whether or not the country fails...oil does.
We do not "run" on shampoo, coffee or tea. (notice I left out beer)
I can go for a month on a Lb. of coffee or a bottle of shampoo or a box of tea...about $4.00 each....how long does a gallon of gas cost you and how long does it last?
I don't know about all of you but I respect the hell of of gas and diesel. Gas in the Rubicon and diesel in my boat.
Buy the way...diesel IS a cheap waste product. It cost nothing to make.
Respectfully...stop being so understanding. See this as it really is...
