Miami, last night I paid $3.91 for regular... basically $70 to fill up my car. I don't know how the population is going to afford it soon frankly (assuming they can now)

I hear by the end of the summer it's going to be up to $6.00. Anyone else heard this as well?

The Europeans have been paying this much for years, how have they dealt with it?

hmmm, so maybe we need to do these things. Except 'living more closer together'.... we don't have to do that one.

Suckers, all of you.

I pay 87 dollars a month for unlimited travel on the TTC. And you get a tax credit for the pass.

They were supposed to be extending a Metro station right near my house, but the project got canned. Very unfortunate, too, because it would likely go directly from my house to my work. I'd use it every day if it were there.
