Money WTF? $1.319/L

Ok, so I normally don't really complain about fuel because I know I get really good mileage and so on. But since I have already parked the truck on weekends (unless needed) and we run the car (1.9L TDI) as much as possible I nearly fell over when I filled up the 55L (59L in) tank today and it cost me $77.82!!

I mean come on here people $75 for a car - someone has got to give me some other ways of earning an income if this is going to continue toward a $1.50 a litre. Think about that $100 to fill a small car! Now we come to the CTD - I typically put in 125L so now that's $164.88 PER FILL and if it climbs to $1.50 that's $197.85 PER FILL. Add the outrageous $0.02 cent carbon tax we here get to pay starting in July and it is most certainly going to be a $200 FILL.

Like I said, I usually complain but now I pissing mad and I want to chew bubble gum and kick *** and I've run out of bubble gum.

Sorry for the rant but I'm done with these greenie weenie pollically correct jerk-off Al Gore wanna-be save the planet twits that are running the show.

Filled up at a Town Pump in Miles City @ $4.19/gal and they're charging 52.5 cents tax/gal for fuel. Only 43.5 cents tax for gas @ $3.49+.

Well, $1.319/L = $5.00 a gallon. Add the carbon tax and any increase and it will be $6 a gallon very soon. FYI a $1.50/L = $5.68 / gallon. I simply don't make enough money to fuel my diesels if this keeps going up.

I need a job that pays $100 K plus to keep my addiction to diesel fuel at bay...
