I do not like the price of fuel also but sometimes just wonder what the big problem people have with it.
People in general (maybe not you but in general) spend money on things they do not really need everyday. They have houses that are 1000 sq ft bigger than needed; have real wood floors and all the add ons. Every time they get a little equity in their home loan they refinace to add a pool or hot tub. They have cars with heated seats; power everything; and way bigger than needed. Try buying a regular cab pickup straight off the lot as most pickups now have to have 4 doors to sell.

But let the price of fuel go up or down a few cents and it makes national news.
