    mistakenly entered the price of a gallon of gasoline as 32.9 cents instead of $3.299 on Monday night.
    Ah why can't that happen around here?

    I think no matter what the price of Gas is it will always seem high at the time...who knows in 10 years we may say "Man I remember when gas was 3 bucks a gallon" Thats what I say about .99 gas...and back then I though wow is this high. I also got suckered on sept. 11, 2001 (price gouge) they bumped out gas to 2.50 and I thought how dare they!!! now I would love to pay that.

    the price of gas shot up almost 60 cents during my 7 month tour in iraq. one my most vivid memories about coming home was the shock that gas was so high.

    the amount of profit that large gas companies turn consistently is enough to make me sick.

    they dont realize they're gonna price themselves out soon if they dont stop. they also dont realize that theres a guy who can make cars run on vegetable oil.

    o yeah,one more thing. dont they realize the cheaper gas is,the more people will go fill up? cutting their heads off is what they're doing.

    I love how the manager of the gas station was aghast at people 'taking advantage' of the mistake, as if the ****ing gas prices aren't highway robbery. I don't care how the prices trickle down, you have an automatic, credit/debit accessible, 24/7 gas pump unattended and one of your staff ****s up the price and you want to get mad at the customers?

    maybe they'd be happy if we all rode bikes everywhere for 2 days? there'd be like 25,000 stations closed nationwide.

    Don't forget in the UK, we're paying nearly $4 for a US gallon!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
