Road-trip buzzkill: Sticker shock at the gas pump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT — Life’s a gas when you have a full tank.

This holiday weekend, and through the summer, that happiness is going to cost you more.

Average cost for a gallon of regular is $3.77 in Washington and tops $4 at some pumps in the state.

Prices are about $1 per gallon more compared to a year ago during the stay-at-home order, according to Kelly Just, a AAA Washington spokeswoman.

Now everyone wants to escape from the COVID-19 prison of 2020.

1. Well when you stop to think that a gallon of gasoline represents

between 2 and 14.4 days of human labor in terms of the work it can accomplish $3.77 is really quite the bargain.

And that's 24 hour work days

2. I just checked our local gas price site here in Albuquerque and it can be had for $2.98/gal.

I can live with that.

3. So so yesterday....

Burning fossil fuels just isn't for recreation giggles anymore. It just isn't so get over it. And gas should be over $10.00 a gallon.

Flame away but you know I'm right.

And-IIRC the gas prices under GWB were so reasonable @ $5.00 a gallon locally.
