Gas of the future...

I bet you all those dumbfucks who went out and bought SUV's b/c of the tax break didnt' see this one comming
think about it 5 years ago...gas price avg was 1.00/gallon 30 gallon tank was 30.00 to fill
last year we broke the 2.00 avg/gallon 30 x 2.00 = 60.00
now we're at 3.00/gallon 30 x 3.00 = 90.00
with an overall avg of 22 mpg thats $0.14/mile where as less then half a decade ago it was only $0.05/mile
at this rate of increase in 10 years it will cost you approx $1.26/mile to drive anywhere
How far is it from your home to your work?...multiply that by 5 days in the week...then take a look at how much your paycheck is per week....is it still worth it to go to work?
EX: 26 miles to work 26 x 1.26 x 5 = 163.80
Did you remember round trip?
163.80 x 2 = 327.60
$423.80 just to go to and from work for one week
now lets work the other in of the equation income inflation is .06% / year minimum wage is $6.15 here in orlando
6.15 x 40 = 246.00 246.00 x 1.06 (repeted 10 times - for ten years) = $440.55
$440.55 -$327.60 ----------- $112.75 this will be your weekly takehome in ten years at minimum wage
PS: By the way...thats not including taxes and medical
Have a nice day!
Do the math yourself...
all you need is mpg of your vehicle and how far to work

The rising gas prices are attritued to a few things. At the moment, it is Katrina causing the dramatic increase in cost. However, the main reason that the price of gas is steadily climbing is because of the new industry in India and China, causing them to have a need for oil, and thus because of increased demand, the price of oil keeps getting bid higher and higher.

Well, after reviewing my situation, I can live without one nut and one kidney.
