I was driving carpool, taking the kids to school the other day, and saw my first sign with self-serve regular unleaded over $4/gallon. It was a bit of a shock. I suddenly felt that the measly 25 miles my car squeezes out of a gallon of gas is woefully inadequate, and envy for my neighbor, whose new diesel jetta gets over 40 mpg. As a new car isn't in the budget, I guess I'll have to keep flogging the gas guzzler a bit longer, taking a little solace in the fact that this is the most expensive gas station in the neighborhood, reassuring myself that high gas prices are a good reminder that we are consuming a finite resource.
