No kidding. When is the last time anything dropped in price? The endless wailing over the price of this, the cost of that, how much this cost a year ago, what we paid for that 10 years ago, becomes repetitive, and predictable. We get it! If you are bright enough to turn ON the tv set, or tune into a radio newscast, you probably KNOW that your grocery bill is creeping up. That it costs WAY more to fill up your tank with gasoline. If I see one more 23 year old reporter holding up a package of hot dogs that are on sale today at MARS for 99-cents a pack and telling me they cost "7% more than they did a year ago..." I'm going to scream. SHOP THE SALES, DUMMY! But things on sale, use coupons, cut back, don't waste, etc.
And learn about the price of gasoline around the world. People are crying over $3.80 or $4.00 a gallon. Compared to other parts of the world its a bargain: Read & learn:

And where is Eritrea? I never heard of this country until today, but you would think they had lower gasoline prices there being in Saudi Arabia's back yard! Maybe they don't get along ....???
And where is the cheapest gasoline in the world? Maybe not surprising, its in the countries with the most oil :
| Rank | Country | Price/gal |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Venezuela | 12 cents |
| 2. | Iran | 40 cents |
| 3. | Saudi Arabia | 45 cents |
| 4. | Libya | 50 cents |
| 5. | Swaziland | 54 cents |
| 6. | Qatar | 73 cents |
| 7. | Bahrain | 81 cents |
| 8. | Egypt | 89 cents |
| 9. | Kuwait | 90 cents |
| 10. | Seychelles | 98 cents |
| 44. | United States | $3.45 |

SO my question to you the reader, how high would the price of gas need to go, before you really I mean REALLY would make changes in your lifestyle, or driving habits? $5.00 a gallon? $10.00? How high is too high?
Have a great weekend everybody...
