Hurricane Isaac, Just paid 4.03 for gas in Indiana This is just getting a tad ridiculous, When I started driving and smoking in the mid late 90's Gas was 99c a gallon or less and my smokes were 2.37 a pack. Smokes are now 5,39 and 96 and some change for 24 gallons of fuel. It took from almost 50 years for gas to go from 25c a gallon to 99c, then 2 years to hit the three dollar mark. Something is wrong with this picture.

Just think how you'd feel paying $21.00 a gallon. But then people already are paying that much for something they use every day and never stop to think about it. So, my stock would go the the Bottled Water industry. At $1.50 for a bottle it works out to:
Evian 9oz - 21.33 / Gal
Aquafina and Dasani 16oz - 12.00 / Gal
and these 2 are just filtered tap water.
Nice huh, even without a Hurricane

In High school both gas and smokes were $.28 at terrible Herds gas stations.
Cartons of smokes were $1.75.
Name brand gas-premiun leaded was $.32 a gal. and smokes were $.35 in a machine.
Late 60's early 70's.
Beer was $1.25 - $1.75 a six pack in the 70's too.

To me, the problem is not expensive gas, but the rapid weakening of the US Dollar. Recent monetization of the US debt (they like to call it "Quantitative easing" or "Asset Purchases" more recently.
Here's the problem:
Amen
and the Fed is talking about QE3, Good Grief
