Mici:
I think we know we are lucky at the relative low cost of fuel - it is the PERCENTAGE INCREASES that bugs us. When I bought my car in late 2001, gasoline was .89c a gallon, last Summer it was $3.25 nearly a 400% increase. Then we see and hear of pipe-line breaks and shutdowns, expect the price to sky-rocket up and it drops nearly a dollar a gallon. There seems to be no reason for most changes and that is what bugs most of us here. Well... It bugs me at least :-\
