More Gas Goat Getting...

When I read articles like the one which has prompted this post, I get more and more frustrated. I won't say with who.

The article I speak of can be found here, and I'll quote the portion that of the article that really gets my goat.

Commuter Bonnie Paterniti said she feels like she's been hijacked by the oil companies. Not only are they changing the price on the signs as she fills up, she's trapped in a gas-guzzling Tahoe.

"Is that infuriating?" reporter Michelle Meredith asked her.

"It is when you travel 750 to 800 miles a week," Paterniti said.

Poor Bonnie is being held captive by the big bad oil companies, not by her choice of vehicle or her commute.

It's either time for Bonnie to move closer to work, get a job closer to home, and or get a smaller more economical vehicle to commute in.

This is sickening to me. If you can't afford the gas, adjust your lifestyle. Same basic concept I use to determine I can't eat every meal at the 5th Steet Steakhouse; I can't afford it while maintaining my current lifestyle.
