As I say, I used to let this annoy me. Now I laugh at it.
I admit to driving a gas hog. The thing's got a 5.9L engine and is required to take 92 octane at a minimum. This translates to a very expensive fuel bill. I knew this when I bought it. I accepted this. I still accept this. I am not complaining about the gas prices. The thing I have to point out is that when new vehicles are sold, there is an estimated cost of ownership printed on the sticker and it's broken down to the cost of fuel. Most people should be smart enough to realise that cost never goes down. I have no sympathy for those who complain about the price of gas yet have other alternatives. You get what you ask for.
