I'm sure you'll understand my resounding lack of sympathy

"Poll: Many Fear Gas Prices' Financial Hit"
http://apnews.myway.com//article/200...D8BUJDNG1.html

My favorite tidbits from the article:
"I filled up last Monday and it cost me $53," said Gary Spaulding of Fulton, N.Y., referring to his Ford Explorer. "One of the cars we're going to get rid of. We can't afford both of them."

"It cost $65 last week for a fill-up of our Expedition," said Carla Woyden, a mother of four from the Philadelphia area who works part-time.

"It has a rather large effect...It directly reduces their spendable income, because they are not able to conserve their use of gas very easily."

Hmmm...I bet I can think of a way to conserve my use of gas. In fact, now that I think about it, my car gets a fill-up about once a month, and only gets about half the mileage of my commuting vehicle of choice.
