In Loving Memory of Your Cash…
Ouch! And this is exactly why I take public transportation, folks. You want to hear something else? This isn’t the most expensive I’ve seen so far either. About 25 minutes down from this one, they were selling gas for $4.09 a gallon. That’s more than a $4 MetroCard for us New Yorkers, which would take us to and from where we gotta go (one way is $2). Obviously, you can’t buy only a gallon of gas (well, you can, but why would you?) , so it’s basically cheaper to take mass transit, which is easy if you live in a big city like NYC. My sister works in Westchester and agrees; it’s going to still cost her a pretty penny to take public transportation (over $200 a month I think), but that beats over $500 a month for gas, toll, and parking. She drives everywhere and for her to say that (seriously, she’s never taken a bus in years), you know it’s that’s saying something.
I’d get my license just to get it, but chyeah, I need to eat, I need to buy drawers…how do they expect people to live when things are going up when the salaries aren’t?
So I sympathize with all those with small cars around the world.1 I wish you luck with the astronomical gas prices. It’s Go Green Week–if you could, just walk it out.
1Those with SUV’s don’t get much love because you should know that that’s a big old gas guzzler. 
I’m messing with you, I sympathize with you too.

Fucking A! Where is that?! It’s a little bit cheaper by St. John’s on Union Turnpike, but not that much cheaper. $4 a gallon is RIDICULOUS! And because gas prices are skyrocketing, so are prices for everything else. I’m so glad I only live a few blocks from the subway…and working in Midtown Manhattan makes things a lot easier, too. I couldn’t imagine having to shell out all that cash for gas.
