The times they are a changing.

It happens every second Tuesday - I take our minivan and drive my kids to Gymnastics and since I don’t normally drive the minivan when I get into it I find that it is running on fumes, [not passing judgment - just stating the facts ;) ]. So I go and I fill it up and today I was floored by the price - $107.45 - regular Sunoco 87 gas! And as I drive away it dawns on me that at a minimum it is going to cost $2,800 a year for me to put fuel into a vehicle I don’t even enjoy driving.



There was a great article today on how the price of gas is changing the way people live. The article talks about how commuters are giving up on the extras just so they can buy gas to get to work. Transportation to many is not a luxury but a necessity and you need to get to work to make money to buy gas - something just is not right!

One final note/anecdote - my wife is going on a business trip and needs to rent a vehicle - the cheapest available vehicle is a SUV - now that is definitely a sign that “The times they are a changing”!

Cheers - Eric
