How 'Bout Them Gas Prices

Two months ago I was spending over fifty bucks a pop putting petrol in the old mustang. Today, I spent roughly less than twenty-five dollars. I went to the grocery store and paid almost five bucks for a gallon of milk. I went to another grocery store and thought about paying 4.99 for a twelve pack of Diet Coke. I wanted to go through a drive thru of my favorite restaurant but they don’t seem to have the .99 cent items that I like anymore. My family member that recently enjoyed a ride in an ambulance down to Atlanta got the bill only to learn that he was charged an additional 25.00 for gas. I mailed a package via someone other than the USPS and I was charged a fuel surcharge. My sister bought her airline tickets to fly down for Christmas and was charged a fuel surcharge. I got a new load of propane for the old gas tank and there was a fuel surcharge for delivery tacked onto it. My friend got pulled over for speeding again and there was an added charge for fuel expenditures. I ordered a pizza, and, you guessed it: A 2.50 delivery fee. I don’t know about you, but with some basic figurin’ and computatin’ I was able to surmise that if gas only costs about two bucks a gallon now, instead of four, shouldn’t everything else cost half as much too? But hey! How ‘bout them gas prices!
