Dear $1.93 gas moron,

At what point in your life did you decide that saving a few pennies on gas was worth spending fifteen minutes sitting in your car in a line waiting for gas? I hope you enjoyed the fumes.

Sincerely,

Guy driving past on the way to the woods with his dogs

I guess this mentality is something I will never quite understand. The price of gas dropped under $2 a gallon for the first time in a long while in the past twenty four hours and people go crazy. Cars were lined up three or four deep at the gas station I drove by on my way to take the dogs for a run this morning. I suppose if I drove a mini tank to work every day instead of my dumpy little 323 I might get a little more excited about adding up all these incremental savings over the course of a year. Personally, I’m a big fan of late-night gas ups and this or this.
