Angry ^^GAS^^April 2012^^ & Climbing^^

The cost of fuel is climbing everyday in Florida &
it's putting a damper on my dream ride &
getting/having a High Performance Car
It's over $4 a gallon in my area,
and my boss just filled `up with
premium @ $4.21 a gallon in Orlando

How much is it hurting you ?
I know it's hurting our cost @ work for our vehicles
and really cutting into our profits.
No profit = No Raises
It SUCKS 4-Sure

Make a post & let us know how you are surviving &
how much the price of `gas is changing your travels,
your life ?

I don't have any choice but to pay it and frown. My schedule has little flexibility and with three baby car seats I can't get a small car. It is leaving me with less extra money at the end of the month.
There is no reason for the continued price increases other than corporate greed and the Obama administrations lack of an effective energy program.

It's up to $3.84 here. I usually fill up at 1/2 tank or just below. Makes me feel better about throwing my money away

Thanks Member's 4 Sharing & Venting

It's just frustrating 4-Sure...I really want a high performance ride, and I already know that the upkeep is `high & so is insurance for a high performance ride, but I was hoping that the price of fuel doesn't go much higher...

I don't want a show car, I want to be able to drive it & have fun..
Not cost me $1 just to start it & $100 to go for a ride


I don't wanta drive a iQ or a putt-putt 2cylinder skateboard...

Peace/Out from `Space
