gas and $$$

Is anyone else sick and tired of people bitching about the price of gas going up? Right now i spend anywhere from $40-90/week on gas, rememeber thats canadian and i buy in letres. I typically get the 92oc or 94 if available and it really doesn't seems to increase the price much for a full tank more then say getting the 89oc. I've never filled my machine on the cheapest (87oc) stuff because my car runs like shit on it, but if i wanted to save more money I could - by using cheaper gas.

Now here is where i'm getting sick of people bitching. Everyone wants to drive, ruin the enviorment, clog the streets and be involved in lots of road rage. But one thing they dont want to do is pay much to do all that and most of them are running on the cheap shit.

These are the same people that move AWAY from where they work to get a bigger house for less money, the same people who drive an hour a day to and from work, the same people who think that they are better off driving then finding a better way to live the life style they want closer to where they spend most of their lives. I wonder if they realized if they bought a smaller house closer to work/city they might be better off?

I happen not to NEED to drive to go about my daily life, but recently I've taken a job that does require about 5 hours/week of driving and to be frank its getting old and fast. I find myself racking up the miles on my car which has only 50k miles and its a 1997. The ONE thing i've never complained about is the gas price, when will people understand that complaining about the cost of driving is like bitching that they have to pay to eat. Heck with the American way of living a car is like an extension of yourself. Yet to have to pay a bit more for it and we've got ourselves a bunch of people bitching. Is the price of gas more important then the price you pay for your time behide the wheel?

Please dont tell me I'm the only driver out there sick and tired of people bitching about the cost of gas....
