Up here in Canada, it's 1.34$ a liter.
Worst of it all, it I'd arrived 30 minutes earlier, I would had bought gas at 1.15 a liter.

City Hall Flunky to Mayor Krass, "Sir, the people are demanding that you do something about fuel prices. "
Krass, "Doesn't anyone out there think besides me? Tell them I have shut down all city transportation. If anyone wants to get anywhere tell them to use the C.J.S.P."
Flunky, "Sir, I have never heard of that plan."
Krass, "Idiot! The Car Jacking Service Plan. Jack a car and take it where you want to go! Think of it, you don't pay for the gas, or insurance or registration, you don't even have to worry about fender benders. You don't own it so if they come looking for the owner, it won't BE YOU! I've used it alot myself and I KNOW it works."

There is nothing so low that Krass won't have a way under it. As Drassel has stated, "Krass is incapable of seeing a belt without hitting below it."
Still you must admit the idea has merit. As the cars run out of gas they pile up. Soon no one can get anywhere, the economy grinds to a halt and the government HAS to do something like send in the guard because the police would be absolutely swamped by all the stolen car reports. Let them tow them all home when they find them and the insurance companies would eat the bills mostly for the damages and the theft.

well.. yes and no.. there are so many new types of fuels sources for vehicles in 2060 that gas isnt as much of a priority that it is now...

The Retrosexuals have discussed this, obviously but they have a different Shadow run take. The think that gas has become more pervasive in the SR world. Want some proof, follow their convoluted reasoning. Hey, don't blame me, I'm just a GM. OOC: JoAnne, "I've been feeding Krass egg salad sandwiches and baked beans. By now he should be as capable of flight as the Goodyear blimp." OOC: Ronilion, "Hey Fatman, I want to sell tickets." OOC: GM: "Expound on your idea, Mr. Ronilion." OOC: Ronilion, "I want to turn it into a kids show. Considering that most kids have the genetic pre-disposition toward grossology, it seems like it could be the seasons hit on a number of channels if handled right. " OOC: GM: "Hmm, you could be right. I recall a recent article that says; "What you're seeing now is more and more places are willing to do bodily noises," said Andy Simmons, who edits the humor pages for Reader's Digest. "Look at Nickelodeon and 'Rugrats.' They're doing gas jokes as a promo for one of their cable shows. You never saw that before. Things are looser now. Fred Flintstone didn't do flatulence jokes when we were growing up." OOC: JoAnne, "To a kid, what passes for funny is usually gas." OOC: Ronilion, "Humerously put, think of it, with gas prices going up so fast we are going to be RICH." OOC: JoAnne, "We are already rich." OOC: Ronilion, "No one is ever rich enough just poor enough."

Here in Nova Scotia the price of gas is going up today to between 1.75 $ to 2.15 $ a lier according to the radio . So off I went to fill up at $ 1.11 a liter . The reason for the gas price hike is what damage the new hurricane is going to do down south . I wonder if I say that I'd going to inharet a few hundered grand for a relative some time in my life if they'd let me spend some of it now ? ( not that I have anyone who I am related to who has that kind of coin ....... well Me i guess ..... if I get killed at work with a nail file and the insurance company doesn't try to rip my family off
