Gas Prices

Have you noticed what has been happening these days? Those oil companies are perpetuating their ways. The prices at the pumps continue to rise. They go up each time I blink my eyes. No matter what you buy, low or high octane, the prices are enough to render us insane. With this situation, for whom are we to thank? It costs a small fortune to fill up my tank. What has been causing all the unjust hype? The smoke from burning money goes out the exhaust pipe. Not all of the factors seem quite clear. Any type of intense argument can precipitate here. I cannot take anymore. We must all take a stand. More affordable gas prices are what we demand.

Amusing in some respects, Robert, but it hurts in the wallet. The oil companies continue to hold us over a barrel...
