Ga$ $uck$!

Boy, do I feel old! When I first started driving in 1971 the cost of gas was twenty-five cents a gallon.

That's right! A quarter a gallon!

Back then, I had a Volkswagon beetle which filled up on $2.50. That's right, two dollars and fifty cents!

The latest consumer reports indicate that Americans are flocking to buy smaller vehicles. No surprise! Since we all rely on fuel to feed our cars, we are stuck! With the cost of a barrel of oil continuously ri$ing, there's no chance we will ever see a return to prices of yore.

So, suck it up, people! We are the product of our environment! Until we get angry enough and mobilize, we will continue to be Patsies to the Powers-that-Be!
