On a Crusade...

I'm going to tirelessly vent this subject until I'm happy that everyone across this great nation is being treated fairly. On that note, let's talk GAS PRICES again. Yes, I know I mentioned my ire at gas prices a week or so back, but I'm still irate, so let's talk about it again.

Last night while watching the news the reporters shared with glee at my overpriced gas predicament that they found gas priced at $1.87 in Fredricksburg, Virginia. UGH, and here I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah where gas is at the average price of $2.54. Where's the fairness in this??

Okay, now before some of you get your knickers in a knot. I realize that gas prices here in Utah are cheaper than some other states. And I'm certainly aware that gas prices in the United States are generally cheaper than many other countries. I realize it's a gross unjustice to anyone living in the those areas and you're thinking I should be grateful for my current gas price.

Now that we've gotten through some of your arguments let's talk about the unfairness that I'm experiencing here. I'm talking about a whole $.67 difference between Virginia and Utah, WHY??? That's my big question, why is there such a discrepency between the prices? Why can't Utahns get their gas for $1.87 if Virginians are? Would it help if the people in charge knew I was really just a Virginian living in Utah?

All I want is to be about to save $6.70 the next time I buy 10 gallons of gas for my car. Really is that too much to ask? I think not!
