Cheap Gas ?
Of course, the only valid comparisons of Gas prices would be minus the TAXES.
BTW, I Boycotted the gasoline stations both Yesterday and Today.
Probably tomorrow. Maybe Friday, but the Boycott likely won't last through Saturday. I wonder if Shell and Chevron will make it through without me
until then ?
Speaking of EXPENSIVE Gas, I bought a Gallon of Coleman Fuel at Walmart Hoy. $9.44. THAT was a "W-T-F ?" moment.
And, it turned out I didn't need to use it.

the deflated peso came from the states as well.  |
They quit printing the Mexican Peso Notes in 1978. Here is one of the last ones printed:
What's amazing is that they still print the Cuban Peso Notes despite the emargo against doing business with them.

Kinda like the scene on Van Nuys Boulevard in the 60s and early 70s. Eh?
It's the car culture, stupid!
Not meant for anyone in particular. Just using an iconic phrase.

Yeah...I know, but it's all downhill and they just coast along with the engine turned off and their foot on the brake. A well-tuned vehicle will
actually make gasolene under those conditions. Betcha didn't know that.
