Yesterday, gasoline here cost $2.75 per gallon; this morning, it was $2.89; by early evening, it was $2.99, and as I write this, they are sold out and closed. In Atlanta, British Petroleum, also known as BP, is selling regular gas for $5.89 per gallon in an attempt to stop people from stampeding and depleting local supplies that rely on pipelines from the New Orleans area. People grumble about the rising price of gas but go on paying $48 a gallon for Starbucks and $12 a gallon for designer water. Of course, they say those are luxuries they can do without, but gas they need for work. Well, carpool, trade the SUV in for a gas miser, telecommute, or shut up and be happy you don’t have to fill up in London, where gas today is selling for $6.48 a gallon.
